Not a Dr. but enjoy a good scientific paper.

Intranasal dihydroergotamine is a category X. Aka it causes fetal damage.

Also for those that don't know a cluster headache is a migraine on steroids. Also referred to as "suicide headaches" due to a common event prior to effective treatment.

Also, also referred to as exploding head syndrome

Exploding head syndrome is something different and a potential side effect of rapid discontinuation of SSRIs. I've had it and it's different from a migraine.

Upon refreshing my memory you are correct. I just must have assumed they referred to the same thing

wtf, that sounds awful

eta: "suicide headaches," "exploding head syndrome," I am so fucking upset that people suffer from things like this. Idk, I just hope you guys are okay. :(

You're right. There are other options though. Like oxygen therapy triptan, etc. I don't understand why didn't the doctor just prescribe the drug. Just let the patient sign an informed consent.... especially if the patient isn't pregnant and not planning pregnancy at the moment.

Because the doctor prescribed a different drug.
