Meds don't work for me, just cost me money. I have learned how to control it by watching what I eat. There are 2 dirty little secrets that docs won't tell you because they are afraid of being sued. One. Alcohol helps. I could not sleep through the night until I started drinking right before bed. 2. Nicotine helps. If I have a smoke or two right before I go to bed it will trigger an attack but then I can sleep the whole night and not have to wake up. It clears everything out.
