I took the first cluster of it. There was a lay off so I did not finish the other clusters. I was transfered into medical records back then to train in coding before the lay off. I took that and had on the job training. I still code today just on what I learned from the coding cluster I took and the training I had. I code radiology currently. I took this about two years ago.

I have cluster headaches and this is
what I take. Fioricet with codeine and phenergan. I, too, get these often and I have found that they coincide with my hormone shot that my husband gives me every 2 weeks. I get them when my hormones are running low and then again a day or two after the shot. I, too, get 30 pills a month (sometimes I have to take them all - sometimes not) They are prescribed to take 2 at the onset of the headache and then 1 every 4 hours until the headache is cleared up to 6 a day. Sounds like you may be having a rebound headache from the meds though if you take one everyday just routinely. I had one doc prescribe just the plain fioricet without the codeine and it did nothing for the headache - some doctors just don't believe in or want to prescribe narcotics. I am also on oxycontin and norco for fibromyalgia - but these 2 meds do not help the headaches. Hope this helps. I would ask for what you think you need and for as much as you feel you need - you are the only one who knows your pain threshhold. I would also keep a headache diary to document and perhaps find triggers for your headaches that you could then avoid. Like I cannot be around strong colognes or perfumes or go into department stores where these are sold - it means immediate headache. This sensitivity prevents me from going to the malls, church, restaurants, and parties. It is a small price to pay, though, if it will prevent me from having a debilitating headache. I do miss church, though.
