acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine: This medicine is a lifesaver! I have TMJ moderately severe, sinusitis frequently, and also am an anxious person. I had a headache for 3 days after working out strenuously at the gym (probably triggered my TMJ pain). I just took one dose (1 pill of Fioricet) and 20 minutes later, bingo! no headache! Even with jumping up and down, no headache! It's totally amazing and wonderful.

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I have been suffering from strong tension headaches since the birth of my second son. Fioricet has been wonderful. Fioricet has taken the pain away quickly and has allowed me to be a more pleasant parent to my children and a nicer co-worker.

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I've learned to 'live' with headaches; often lasting up to four days or more. I was prescribed Fioricet about two years ago and I find it to be a relief not to have to 'live' with a headache for days anymore. I'm careful about using it and often as a last resort after trying Advil and the like. Therefore I don't find it habit forming for me. It is an absolute relief drug.

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I used Fioricet for years to not only treat my headaches, but to help with tense aches and pains in my shoulders. It was the only thing that worked and allowed me to continue with my daily routine. I did notice that after taking it for such a long time I experienced some of the withdrawls. I would reccomend taking it but follow how your doctor says to take your dosages even if you think you are starting to have a "headache" it might just be a rebound reaction.

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I have been taking Fioricet as needed for about 15 years. I love it. If Fioricet doesn't help, nothing does. I do not find it to be habit forming at all. I do find that if i take it for too many days in a row it is not as effective and then I suffer from rebound headaches.

Esgic-Plus (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): This medicine is wonderful! I had the worse headache I had ever had and this medicine knocked it right out. 2 of the pills made me very sleepy but no headache!

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I suffer from TMJ syndrome and sinusitis. I have recurring headaches. I have taken this drug on/off for 12 years. I am allergic to a lot of meds, so it's been well-suited for me. I do know it is habit forming, as if I have to take it for several days, I do have some withdrawl symptoms.

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): this medication has been used as an as needed pain reliever. This is the only medication that works for my type of headaches.
This has been a wonder drug in my treatment with head pain.
Thank you Dr. Z

Fioricet (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): it made the pain go away but i then had to deal with the side effects that either came with the headache or from the meds but at least the pain was gone

Dolgic Plus (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine): I have severe migraines and sometimes can't afford Imitrex which is the only medication that helps me. I was given this medication as a sample. It seemed to help some but not enough. I am taking the second after waiting 3 hours. I hope it helps this time.

acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine: Works well for my TMJD, and severe head pain. I take two pills every 8 hours as needed for pain, and Tylenol Arthritis and Elavil 75mg for Fibromyalgia. Seems to be doing it's job.
