Fiorinal with Codeine III (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): I have had migraine headaches since I was9 years old and I started taking fiorinal with codeine when I was in my 40's and it is the only thing that knocks my headache out.

Fiorinal with Codeine (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): I have had migraines headaches since I was 25 yrs old and at 71 years old I still have them. They are just as bad now as years ago. I have been prescribed over 47 different kinds of medicine for relief. Also I went to three headache clinics which were a joke/no help-my purse emptied. Some of the medicines I now know are everything from cancer to thyroid medicines were given to me to ease pain. Simply trial and error of the many doctors I saw. A lot of brain scans, x-rays of my head and neck. Finally a doctor prescribed a new medicine on the market called fiorinal and fiorinal-w/codeine for really bad pain. I use the fiorinal/3 and get quick relief if I can take before the vomiting starts. My migraines wake me in the middle of night.

Fiorinal with Codeine III (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): The very best migraine medicine ever made. It even keeps back pain from causing the migraine (upper back).
Fiorinal with Codeine (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): Along with Phenergan, it is the only thing that helps with the migraines I get (about twice a month now). The Phenergan cream (a compound made by a pharmacy in my area) keeps the medication down by helping stop or control the vomiting I get with migraines.
Fiorinal with Codeine (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): I haven't found anything that works on my migraine as well as Fiorinal with Codeine but constipation is a problem with too many doses, but still doesn't compare to migraine pain just take sparingly.
Fiorinal with Codeine (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): I have suffered from headaches for about 20 years, until I found Fiorinal with codeine. I have NOT had a headache since! This works great for headaches and I am finally free. Thanks to whoever came up with this cure for headaches.
Fiorinal with Codeine (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): I have had migraines for 25 years and find Fiorinal with codeine the only thing that takes care of the pain and allows me to function. I also take Phenergan if I don't get on top of the pain fast enough to ease the vomiting associated with the pain. Like the previous post, my migraines wake me up in the middle of the night. I have been prescribed Lortab but even though it is stronger it does not work as well. My doctor recently added 10 mg. Amitriptyline before bed and that reduced the frequency of my headaches but I still get about 3-4 migraines/month. I recently heard that they were going to take Fiorinal off the market and that has me very worried.
aspirin/butalbital/caffeine/codeine: I have migraines since I was in the fifth grade. I'm 18 now and I have taken them since I was about 11. This medicine will take care of a lot of your pain no matter what type as I have heard. I have not had any bad experience with it since I have been taking it. It works really well.
aspirin/butalbital/caffeine/codeine: I have suffered with migraine headaches since my early 40's. Butalbital offers the only real relief. I've used it for years without negative effect, but only when headaches strike.
aspirin/butalbital/caffeine/codeine: I use Fiornal #3 as breakthrough pain medication for my nerve pain in my back due to spinal stenosis. I use this in conjunction with Avinza (Time release Morphine).
Fiorinal with Codeine III (aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine): Works like nothing else I've tried. There is something about the combination of Fiorinal and Codeine III that neither has alone. For neck injury with chronic pain, this works for me much, much better than the heavily regulated medicines that are considered to be much stronger.
aspirin/butalbital/caffeine/codeine: This works every single time on my migraines. I try fioricet first, and if that doesn't work, I take one of these. The downside is that I can't drive after I take one, because I can feel the codeine kick in. I take them about once a month, but when I have to take this, it works better than anything else I've tried.
