User Comments about Epidrin

01 Jun 2011	it works 100% i am guessing that says everything,it is like a miracle pill —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
26 Mar 2011	I have not been presented another med that would not cause me risk to relieve severe migraines that I get at least 5-10 pr month. If I take meds as soon as I have the first sign I can relieve/stop the migraine same day otherwise it will continue as long as 3-5 days long with severe eye blurriness, severe sensitivity to sound and light with progressive muscle tightness in back of head at brain stem. Please tell us how we can get similar drug without issues that the company apparently did not want to respond to FDA renewal or announce a special notice of issues. Yet this drug is being sold by manufacturer to countries outside of the USA. Very upset with the lack of notice to users/physicians. Many of the new meds for migraines have high risks for strokes,htn, blackouts, seizures, etc which was my issue frova, did not have the stroke but had the symptoms without relief of migraines adequately. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

04 Feb 2009	I thought Midrin was discontinued. Then I found http://www.Midrin.org and was able to acquire some by asking for the generic name Epidrin. Thank god! —Posted by Betrice Martin Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
