Has anyone taken fioricet for headaches? If so, what was your experience? It has a barbituate in it ( butalbital) so im sort of scared to try it even though my neurologist prescribed it to me.
Hi Amber, yes I use to take Fioricet for migraines years ago. Back then it helped with the pain but I also used Imitrex on the onset of the migraine. I hope this helped some but, to be honest, it might be different for you. All you can do is give it a try and if it works then great but you won't know until you try. Good luck and God bless you. P.J.L.
Good night!
I used to take Fiorcet, but it has a bad side effect of rebound headaches. You will be ok as long as you only need it occasionally. But pay attention to the day after to see if you get secondary headaches. If you do, you need to continue looking for a replacement med.
I have used it for a long time. It is the most effective med for me. Doctors really donβt like it because it can cause rebound headaches if it is taken too often. It works well for me if I use for my really bad headaches.
I take it when I can't take the pain any more. I use them sparingly and they do help.
I don't like drugs either but I don't think it's a problem if used in moderation.
I have used it. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesnt. Worth a try. Anything to relieve a migraine
