"I can no longer use Imitrex or related drugs for migraine pain due to heart issues. In searching for an alternative migraine treatment, my doctor prescribed Indocin. Alone, Indocin can't relieve migraine pain, but combined with Midrin, I get relief. I'm in the midst of weekly migraines. They had been reduced with Midrin, but still lasted days. Now, combining the two, I can break the migraine cycle."

"I would like to say that I went to the E.R., and they couldn't find out why I was having the chest pains, also, PE (pulmonary embolism) had been ruled out. Every time I took a breath, it was so painful. They were giving me morphine every hour, the pain would not subside. So, I went to my primary care physician, and he diagnosed me with pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the lining of your lungs. So, he prescribed Indocin for me, and after one day, I started getting serious relief."
