I used to get Midrin (generic) for around $14.00 for #90. Lately, the price has shot up to $50.
I go without it most of the time due to the cost and end up using up my Imitrex and other headache protocols. But certain headaches, only the Midrin will help with.
Any idea if there are any Rx help plans where I can get it reduced or free based on my low income?
Thanks.
Check at www.pparx.org. They should have a listing for the patient assistance program if there is one.
Also, check with other pharmacies. Some are significantly higher than others, and it can vary from pharmacy to pharmacy.

Have you tried the various pharmacy's in your area for different prices? Sometimes shopping around can yeld a better price.
Teri and Nutcracker gave you good links for prescription help. I did check the Walmart site to see if Midrin was listed on their $4 plan, but didn't see it. You may want to call them and see what they say.

The amounts you are paying sound as if they might be insurance copays? Many programs are only available to people who don't have prescription insurance coverage.
Take a look at www.needymeds.com . I looked at it before writing this response, and didn't see a program for Midrin. However, there is a wealth of information on the site about programs for prescription discount cards and state-sponsored programs. You might find something on there that will help you, either with Midrin or one of your other medications.
Good luck with this. I know the disappearance of the generic versions of Midrin was a blow to many people.
