Midrin Where Can I Get It (Page 3)

Updated

I have been taking Midrin for the past 10 years for migraines because I don't get any side effects from it and it works really well. Now all of a sudden the pharmacies in my area (3 of them) are saying that they can't get any or it is on backorders for the past 3 months. Do they still make it? I tried a different medication and it makes me really dissy so I really need to know how to get the Midrin. How can I get a presecription filled and where even in the mail would be ok.

The compound may be the same, but not in the same order, hence the generic does not work the same and the name brand.

The compounded generic is the EXACT same thing as the brand name, they're even made with the same capsule.

We need users to work with us to talk about Midrin has helped them with their migraines and the benefits it offers over other drugs currently available.

Having optical migraines without pain, I found Midrin to be the only drug without bad side effects and it works so quickly! I never know when I will get one, and if I am driving I have to stop and wait for the drug to work...usually only about 10 minutes! Hope it stays on the market this time!

I have used Midrin since the 70's and it is the ONLY drug withOUT side effects that works for me. The generic may be the same but my pharmacist says it is NOT as the compounds are NOT in the same order, hence it is NOT the same drug. I only use NAME BRAND ONLY!

Where is this? I can't find it anywhere in Middle Tennessee except unfortunately at Walgreens, where my insurance does not work.

Sorry, my question about location was to Kathy, who reported it available at her local Wal-Mart. Any other assistance with Middle TN would be much appreciated!

Paul--Do you not have any Wal-Marts or Walgreens in Middle TN? Perhaps contact Macoven Pharmaceuticals via the internet and ask them where/how to get it in your area. That's what I did....

Sorry Paul--I see now that your insurance doesn't work at Walgreens--(did you check out of pocket cost?)--but I stand by the rest of my reply. If you do not have a Walmart--contact Macoven. They are quite helpful.

Oh brilliant, thank you! I checked with 4-5 wal-marts today, and no one has it. Same for CVS, Kroger, and rite-aid. I'll try contacting the Pharm company tomorrow.

I have used Midrin for about 2 years now and it is wonderful. I was switched from Imitrex because of chest pain. It typically only takes the initial dose of 2 pills and my migraine is relieved. Please keep Midrin on the market!

I've been a migraine suffer for 30 years. In all the years of treatments and strategies, midrine is the only medication that seems to realize my pain within hours. I can sleep it off and wake up with no pain. I tried all the other stuff the doctors recommend and nothing compares to the midrine. A few years ago I was told that It was not manufactured anymore and so I have been stuck with fighting the pain each month until its so bad I have to check into urgent care. How horrible to be in so much pain to go to urgent care for strong pain injections! Midrine works and is safer for me then strong pain injections. Please would someone please put it back on the market!

Please, please put Midrin back on the market. It is the only drug that prevents me from going into a migraine. Does anyone know if they are considering putting it on the market again

It is put out by Macoven Pharmaceuticals. You can alsod o an internet seach for a compounding pharmacy who has the correct ingredients to compound this for you.

I have been a migraine sufferer for almost 30 years and have tried everything. Midrin is the only thing that has always worked for me with no side effects. I have a 2 year old with severe medical needs, I have to stay aware at all times in case he quits breathing. Midrin does not dull my senses or knock me out like other meds do. I literally cried when it went off the market. It definitely affects my quality of life. Midrin needs to be available always!

Update: Found out today that generic Midrin is no longer available, so my pharmacist is foisting Prodrin on me, via my doctor. I really hope this works. I've been taking Midrin for three years now, along with Topamax, which still gives me 3-4 migraines a week, so Midrin is very important to me. The triptans never did anything for me at all, and fiorcet just made me loopy as heck. I hope to all that is good and well that this Prodrin works for me. Wish me luck all and wish us all luck that Midrin becomes available again soon. Here's to a pain free day!
