Generic Fiorinal

I am in desperate need of this for chronic migranes. Since I went on Medicare with great prescription coverage, they still are refusing to cover. Any options? This med has been a life saver for me and worry about the future.

Hello, Sally! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

Each page of this website has a link to print a pharmacy discount card that may make it cheaper for you. Its free to sign up for, it's usually towards the lower right of each page, you just click the link, put in your email address and print it.

Alternatively, you could try asking your pharmacy which ones they accept and which makes it cheapest.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia and nervousness.

Does anyone else have any ideas?
