JMK Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Last time I had an episode was 2019. It was the first time I'd been prescribed the sumatriptan auto-injections, and I don't recall having had especial difficulty getting the rx filled. But for the current episode, which started about a month back, the difficulty of reliably obtaining them has basically added another layer of misery to a situation already abundant with it. Do others run into this? Is there a reason why pharmacies would be unlikely/unwilling to keep sumatriptan in stock? Or is it that demand for it is that great?

CHfather Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 We hear about this from time to time. It seems like it's usually in Canada. Have you explored options with the pharmacy/doctor, such as sumatriptan in vials, with syringes, so you can do it yourself, or the lower-dose autoinjector, Zembrance, which has plenty for stopping a CH attack? Or a triptan nasal spray? Important info for when you get the Imitrex/Imigran: Extending imitrex - ClusterBuster Files - ClusterBusters Some people get Imitrex prescription filled when they are out of cycle to stockpile it. It lasts a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
