They were hard on my stomach tho. Then in 1990 I started getting bad migraine headaches off and on. The doctor prescribed Vicodin. I took one and in about 20 minutes started to feel very drugged up, looked white as a sheet and started vomiting. The nausea could have been from the headache pain but I never want to see that drug again.

In fact, I told the pharmacy I was allergic to it so they would put that in my records, that’s how bad it made me feel. Then a doctor prescribed Fioricet and my goodness, a miracle drug. When I took one the headache was gone in about 15 minutes. I don’t have any bad side effects. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night or early morning with a headache and I would take a Fioricet on an empty stomach with no problems.

I do find that doctors do not want to prescribe this medication. It took a psychiatrist to give it to me. I haven’t found it to be habit forming and it is the only thing that really works well for me. I will switch off taking fioricet with Excedrin. Migraines seem to run in my family. I carry them with me wherever I go.

Fioricet was prescribed for the daily headaches afterwards and has saved my daily existence. I now take them only as needed but am not addicted as some say.

I agree that some drs want to not prescribed them lately and give you xanax instead which is addictive. I’ll take fioricet.

I was prescribed fioricet, tried to have an open mind maybe this medication would actually help me, it did. The first time i took it, it made me feel a little funny but pretty soon i was sleeping and out of pain and that for me is absoulety amazing. I would however like to find the cause for my headaches, but in the mean time i think this drug will help me be me again.
