Both my partner and myself suffer from severe migraines (to the point of contemplating the botox/surgery route).  Right now the only medicine I get for them is sumartriptan 100mg (I used to also be prescribed fioricet and lortab back in the good days, but now we live in the 'sucks to be you' era of pain management).  Usually a bad migraine means a trip to urgent care, a lot of shots in the ass of meds that barely help, etc etc).

ANYWAY, I ordered a medication called Midrid online recently (mostly so I wouldn't just be ordering c0deine from the shop).  This shit is BANANAS.  It is more effective for migraines than any medication I have ever tried for migraines.  The primary med in it is isometheptene mucate, which I can't seem to find find in any other preparation.  

So 1. I wanted to let others know about this, and 2. wanted to know if anyone had a consistent online pharmacy that will ship it to the US?  I keep getting blocked at check-out by the IOPs I find it at, saying they won't ship to the states :/

 
I thought it was taken off the market by the FDA. Here it is called Midrin. I heard you could still have a pharmacy that mixes medications  compound it for you if your doctor will write it for you. It has something to do with when it was first approved many years ago, it went through a different process than now.  Midrin had Acetaminophen,      Isometheptene (vasodilator) and Dichloralphenazone (sedative). They DO have Prodrin, which is the Acetamin, Isomet, and instead of the sedative it has caffeine. So may help, may not work as good. If you are seeing it in other countries they may still make the original Midrin but might have trouble sending it because of the FDA ban.  Just thought I'd put this down in case you weren't aware. I used to use Midrin years ago and helped so good, but it stopped working after a while. Good Luck.

I don't know if this is any good. It's Canada but they speak about the Drug regulations governing the importation of prescription medication for personal use to the US. 

If I find anything this side of Atlantic I will let you know.

I wonder about 'simple' paracetamol/acetaminophen. I was attacked a couple months ago and was hospitalised - head injury. They won't give anything when you are monitored for that. I knew a headache was coming and had most of that day and thought going to go into the night. I was allowed paracetamol and took it not thinking would make any difference at all. Though I was given valoid for nausea too. But did the trick.  A lot easier anyway. 

I see this drug has paracetamol too. Ever try Naproxen with summatriptan. The vasodilator effect with anti inflammatory. Some times when suumatriptan alone doesn't seem to work - when I take Naproxen/Naprosen with it - it does the trick. Some days I just want to take a hatchet and chop me head clean off. ;)

 
I took Midrin for years. I would get full body 'shivers'. Then would be awake for 24 hours. Didn't know it was banned.

 
Ok correction to my midrin post from July 22. I went to my old neurologist the other day, and she gave me good 'ole' midrin! Just like they used to make! I told her it stopped working for me long ago and have tried a few other times without luck, but she wanted me to try so I got the RX. I really can't say it did anything as I was having terrible rebound headaches. But just wanted to point out it is alive and well in the good ole USA! And the proper way to take is start with 2, if not better take one more and hour later, and again if not better hour later take one more.. up to a total of 5 in 24 hours. 

 
I was looking at these migraine posts since it's a huge problem for me.. I noticed when I commented on Midrin, I said the Isometheptine was a vaso 'Dilator' and I meant to say it is a "Vaso-constrictor" Which means it constricts the blood vessels to get the blood away from the areas causing pain. Vaso dilation is what tends to cause the migraine (or headache)

  1. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  2. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  3. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  5. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  6. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  10. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
