Migranal availability question

Hi,
I'm new here. Sorry to jump in with a question in my first few minutes, but I was recently prescribed Migranal to try for my headaches. It's over a week and I haven't been able to get it to try as the pharmacy insists it's discontinued by the manufacturer. Another pharmacy (called this morning) says it's available, so I'm working on having them take over the scrip. Does anyone have any idea why such a discrepancy?

I googled "migranal discontinued" and that's how I found this site-looks like some people tried it, it didnt' work, they discontinued using it. Makes sense-triptans don't work for me, but they're great for others. So I figured you guys are the best migraine experts to talk to. :)

thanks in advance,
Jenn

" I used to love Migranol. It is also under the name Amidrin. I was so dissapointed when I was told it had been discontinued. If you do find it under a new manufacturer or rand name or something, please let me know. "

" I was able to get the Migranal yesterday evening! Quite a snafu due to some drama with the original pharmacy, but the new pharmacy was awesome! Maybe try calling around to different pharmacies to see if someone else carries it. Turns out there's one other person in my home town that also uses this med, so they happened to have a box on the shelf for when she needs refills. "
