A growing number of people are using DMT for cluster headaches. As an abortive that doubles as a preventative with compounded use, it is an attractive option. Since DMT has to be smoked to be consumed without additives, vape pens are popular. Unlike oxygen tanks, vape pens fit anywhere.
What is DMT?
DMT is the active component in ayahuasca, a form of DMT that is orally available. Usually extracted from mimosa hostilis, DMT is a natural substance that occurs in many plants and animals. Like psilocybin, it also binds to the 5HT2A receptor, but for a very short duration. Without the additional ingredients found in ayahuasca (MAOI), it only remains bound in that receptor for about 15 minutes, and does not pose any of the safety concerns that the additional ingredients in ayahuasca present. If consumed using a vape pen, you can bypass the need for additional ingredients and take advantage of the brevity of the effects. Most people using DMT for cluster headaches don’t consume enough to feel much of an effect, just enough to banish the cluster attack.
How to Use DMT For Cluster Headaches
Getting a breakthrough experience, or full psychedelic effect, can be difficult with a DMT vape pen. The smoke produced is a bit harsh, and it takes several deep “puffs” in short succession to access the full experience. It’s not pleasant. This might not be convenient for the individual looking for the full DMT psychedelic experience. They want to “break through” to a different experience of consciousness. But for someone looking to take the bare minimum to get pain-free, a DMT vape pen could be a good option.
A few puffs can abort an attack at the onset. The psychedelic effects can be intense but are always short-lived. With experience and fine-tuning, many users find a “sweet spot” that provides minimal psychoactive effects while still aborting the headache. Unlike sumatriptan, the vape pens can also be used for the rebound headaches that follow a psilocybin experience without interfering with the therapeutic impact. It combines the immediacy of an abortive, and the long-term benefits of a preventative.
DMT And The Retreat
At Eleusinia, we provide both DMT vapes and oxygen as abortive options for our “clusterhead” visitors. It can be a good opportunity to find out if it works for you as an abortive and to get comfortable with a previously unknown substance.
We focus on empowerment and self-sustainability. DMT vapes present a unique conundrum in this regard. On one hand, a big part of our retreat is the cultivation course we offer on growing mushrooms and promoting self-sufficiency. However, DMT is not something that can be easily produced without a chemistry background. Nevertheless, our goal is to support our TAC brothers and sisters in arms and help in any way we can to aid in the pursuit of a pain-free, higher quality of life.

35 year episodic clusterhead. Tried many prescribed everything. I HAVE ABORTED 7 ATTACKS WITHIN 20 SECONDS OF VAPING DMT. 6 in the last 2 days, one this morning. I welcome dialog.
20 year episodic clusterhead currently going through a cycle. Insurance will not cover oxygen. Where mite someone find 1 of these pens?
At our retreat, we teach a class on extracting DMT and making them for yourself.
Where can I buy DMT pens? Been having migraines daily and it is honestly debilitating.
You can learn to make your own at the retreat.
I just started using the pen. Are you on cluster busters?
I was just wondering because I’ve also got an episodic cluster headaches, What are the side-effects like could you use this outdoors? I’m currently using microdots and mushrooms, but the effects can be very long lasting and very impractical to take, with long-term effects leading to tolerance buildup, which cannot happen on DMT, also carrying around an oxygen tank is the same, kind regards Luke
39 years old just starting having what others have described as being cluster headaches. Then tend to start in the later evenings at or about 8pm starting out as jaw/tooth pain which then radiates across the mouth (I saw my dentist and they couldn’t find anything wrong with my teeth.) To the side of my head, then to what feels like the very center of my brain and the what i can only decribe as an axe being repeated struck in that spot or being eletrocuted.
This started about 3 weeks ago, and i went a full 8 days before seeking help with this because you know im stubborn as shit and didnt want to bother Dr’s with this.
I’m doing as much research as I can and have seen my Dr about this, he’s referring me out to a specialist.
I’m very interested in microdosing psilocybin or from what I just read dmt as a way to counteract this horrible feeling. I’ve tried over the counter pain meds and they don’t even touch the level of pain I’m getting. Taking the maximum suggested does. That all being said I don’t like taking medications/drugs if I don’t have to. I don’t even smoke Marijuana (used to many many years ago but had to stop because I got a great job and couldn’t risk. Haven’t had it very much since then maybe 5 times in the last 10 years. And now it is much stronger and I can’t hang with all that. I know little to nothing about microdosing or dmt only what I’ve heard from friends and videos online.
Question would be where should I start via microdosing psilocybin or dmt vape pens?(which sounds like it would be the possible best route for an immediate relief from the pain) and I new nothing about till I found this page at 1am with a cluster headache trying to to cry in the corner and type this out on my phone.
I’m not sure if this helps at all but I have have a fairly decent pain tolerance, I’m a Tattoo Artist and am covered in very large tattoos which sessions have sometimes taken over 6 hours on some. So when I compare the pain of a large tattoo such as those are no where near comparable to the pain of these headaches, please believe me when I say I’d rather be tattooed for 24 hours straight with no breaks than have one of these headaches. They’re so bad that it hurts to talk. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this
