Are they being discontinued? Ive just been to three pharmacies and they've s said haven't been able to get them for a few months. Just found an online pharmacy to buy them from instead. I've had a few killer migraines recently and because I'm breastfeeding and on antidepressants they're the only thing my Dr said I can take.

I took sumatriptan and naratriptan when I was breastfeeding. I asked a pharmacist who has an interest in breastfeeding - there is one on Facebook I believe. One of the things they said to me is it's often that medicines aren't tested for this rather then that they pass through your milk.

I hope not OP Sad I’ve just had a google round and they’re unavailable pretty much everywhere...and they’re the only things that get rid of my migraines!!

@augustusglupe I've just order two packs through Dr Pharmacy to keep me going for a while!

@waterthegarden I was on citalopram so couldn't take some stuff but have recently changed to sertraline so will have to see if that changes stuff. I don't get them to often but the last one left me crawling on the floor it was so bad!

I take these as a last resort when all else has failed, and they usually work, so I panicked a bit too. I've just been into two pharmacies to ask and apparently there are manufacturing problems, hence the unavailability.

I did manage to get a box of the yellows. Just about to go online and search for the pinks.
