Finding Reyvow Is Getting Harder — But It's Not Impossible Yet

If your pharmacy just told you they're out of Reyvow, take a breath. You still have options — but time is limited.

Eli Lilly has permanently discontinued Reyvow (Lasmiditan), with U.S. distribution ending on May 31, 2026. As supply winds down, more pharmacies will run out. But right now, many pharmacies still have stock. The trick is finding them.

Here are three practical strategies to help you find Reyvow while it's still available.

Tip #1: Use Medfinder to Search Pharmacy Inventory

The fastest way to check which pharmacies near you have Reyvow in stock is to use Medfinder. Instead of calling pharmacy after pharmacy, Medfinder lets you search for medication availability by location.

Here's how to use it:

1. Go to medfinder.com
2. Search for "Reyvow" or "Lasmiditan"
3. Enter your zip code or city
4. See which nearby pharmacies currently have it available

This saves you hours of phone calls and wasted trips to pharmacies that are already out of stock. For a more detailed walkthrough, see our guide on how to check if a pharmacy has Reyvow in stock.

Tip #2: Try Independent and Specialty Pharmacies

When a medication is being discontinued, the large chain pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid) tend to run out first because they serve the most patients. Independent pharmacies and specialty pharmacies often still have supply.

Why independent pharmacies can be a better bet:

• They may have lower patient volume for niche medications like Reyvow
• They can sometimes order remaining stock from wholesalers while distribution continues
• Staff may be more willing to help you track down specific medications
• Some specialty pharmacies focus specifically on neurology medications

Don't know where to find independent pharmacies? Medfinder includes independent pharmacies in its search results, so you can find them alongside the big chains.

Tip #3: Fill Early and Ask About Timing

Pharmacies restock on different schedules. If your pharmacy says they're temporarily out, ask:

• "When is your next shipment expected?" — Many pharmacies get weekly deliveries
• "Can you order it for me?" — As long as wholesale distribution continues, pharmacies can often place special orders
• "Can you transfer my prescription?" — If one location is out, the pharmacist can help transfer to another location that has stock

Also, don't wait until you're out of medication to refill. With a discontinued drug, filling your prescription as soon as your insurance allows gives you the best chance of getting it. Many insurance plans allow refills when you're about 75–80% through your current supply.

What If You Still Can't Find Reyvow?

If you've tried everything above and still can't locate Reyvow, it may be time to have a serious conversation with your doctor about alternatives. The reality is that supply will only get tighter between now and May 2026.

Talk to Your Prescriber About Switching

Several other acute migraine treatments are available and widely stocked at pharmacies:

• Ubrelvy (Ubrogepant) — an oral CGRP receptor antagonist, not a controlled substance, no driving restriction
• Nurtec ODT (Rimegepant) — orally disintegrating tablet that works for both acute treatment and migraine prevention
• Zavzpret (Zavegepant) — a nasal spray gepant with fast onset of action
• Sumatriptan — a generic triptan available for as little as $5–$15, though it's not suitable for patients with heart disease

Ask About the Reyvow Savings Card While It Lasts

If you do find Reyvow in stock and have commercial insurance, the Reyvow Savings Card may still help you pay as little as $0 per fill (up to $3,400 in savings per year). This program may wind down along with the drug, so take advantage while it's active. See our full guide on saving money on Reyvow.

Final Thoughts

Finding Reyvow in 2026 takes a little more effort than it used to, but it's still possible for now. Use Medfinder to check real-time pharmacy availability, try independent pharmacies, and fill your prescriptions early.

At the same time, start planning ahead. Talk to your doctor about what you'll switch to once Reyvow is fully gone. The sooner you have a backup plan, the less stress you'll feel as supply continues to dwindle.
