Q: I had used Midrin for years and here in Mi they say it isn't being made anymore...HELP

Midrin was like a miracle for me, I've had migraines since a kid and am now 56.  I've been told midrin isn't being made anymore and nothing they are giving me helps.  I am living with the migraines almost on a daily basis...please help me.  Is Midrin still out there????

Terri,

 

Your pharmacist is incorrect. Please see Yes, Midrin Is Still Being Made for Migraine and Tension-Type Headache!

 

How many days a week are you taking Midrin. If you're taking it more than two or three days a week, it could be making matters worse by causing medication overuse headaches, aka rebound Plese, take a look at Medication Overuse Headache: When the Remedy Backfires.

I just filled an Rx for Midrin a few weeks ago. I'm in Oregon and no one said anything to me about it going away. I googled midrin and found an article from last year about people thinking it was gone. Some of the comments are from the last few months and it seems some places aren't selling it anymore. Have you tried calling around to other pharmacies?
