I have to agree that 120 is a low dose for clusters, see how it works for you and if it isn't talk to your doctor about increasing it. It took several days at 480mg to start helping me, but I also experienced some side effects with the increased dosage. I use the immediate release instead of extended release (not sure of the correct terms for this) also. I know they push some patients up to 800+ but this is VERY dangerous -you have to really watch your pulse- any increase should only be done under the supervision of your doctor. Best wishes. Hope it works for you.
