    I haven’t had a migraine free day in at least 4 years. I have tried every migraine drug on the market. The only thing that works for me is Midrin. Which was discontinued in 2009. Good thing you can get it at a compounding pharmacy. Oh wait! You can’t anymore. You can’t get it anywhere. This last bottle on my desk is evidently one of the last in existence. And it’s the only thing that works. So no, I won’t just be taking the headache medicine. I’ve got to save it for when I have to function, not for when I want to feel better.

      Have you seen this article? It gives you the component breakdown so you can try to find the 3 drugs that make it up, or you can try the alternative that has 2/3 of the drugs that is still on the market.

        Yeah, I know (I checked it before I posted on the off chance I’d find some good news). That page hasn’t been updated in a while and I was only told there would be no more available back in April
