http://Discontinuation of Reyvow® (lasmiditan) for Acute Migraine Treatment: What To Do Next – Association of Migraine Disorders https://share.google/x82xhfqvCMTlODKe4

Eli Lilly has announced they’re discontinuing REYVOW. And this is very disappointing news for me and my personal Chronic Migraine journey. For me, Reyvow has been very effective for those very bad migraines… the ones that send me to a dark room and render me incapacitated. I’ve heard that it can cause severe drowsiness in many patients, but considering I’m already incapacitated, severe drowsiness is a welcome respite during those migraines where I’m praying for a crowbar to the head to end the suffering. I’ve even noticed that taking it at night, I can wake up the next morning with a pretty decent brain.

I remember one episode: I was battling a bad bad migraine for a couple of days, but desperately wanted to float the river with my DIL the next morning. I took my nightly meds including the Reyvow and woke up feeling… good! It was almost as if my migraine cycle skipped postdrome altogether!

And Courtney and I floated the San Marcus and I thoroughly enjoyed the sun, cool water, green trees, and company. That was a happy, happy day. Surely a great commercial for Reyvow. 🌞😎

My Neuro has instructed me to refill my Reyvow prescription “as much as possible” before it sunsets since I find it so helpful. My understanding is the medication just wasn’t making enough money for the company. Reyvow was specifically a ditans med class and there are no others like it on the market at this time.
