For Headache "Fioricet is the only medication that will quickly and effectively get rid of my migraine/tension headaches. I've tried multiple other medications, treatments without relief. Without them I'm totally incapacitated, in bed, no lights, nausea and frequent emergency room visits. So far without signs of dependence, withdrawals or addiction. However I despise the looks or comments at certain pharmacies like you're an addict! Obviously these people have never experienced severe headaches."

For Headache "I have had migraines forever. I have had to go to the hospital and they would give me shots of Toradol, Phenergan, and Dilaudid. It worked, but it made me sick and my headache came back as soon as I finally woke up. I had one that helped the most, which was amitriptyline, but I gained so much weight from it. I quit it and gave up until recently I went to the after-hours clinic, and they prescribed me Fioricet tablets four times a day for headaches. It's the best prescription ever and better, it only costs 13 dollars and works 100% better."

For Headache "Fioricet works to eliminate most of my migraine symptoms; i.e., tight, tense neck, shoulders, upper back, and facial muscles, throbbing, radiating, and stabbing pains, and nausea. It greatly reduces and sometimes eliminates changes in tastes and smells, sound, and light sensitivities."

For Headache "This is an old medication that I hope will never be removed. My grandfather used to take it when it wasn't a prescription. My father took it, and I take it. It kills the headache with just one dose within 20 minutes. Sometimes I may get sleepy when it takes effect, but I also believe this happens due to the possibility that I hadn't slept well and is why that particular headache came on. When I first started taking Fioricet, I did feel some light nausea and dizziness, but I do not get those side effects anymore. I also am sure I eat a couple of saltines when I take it. I have been on many other medications for my headaches and have not had the positive results that I get from the Fioricet."

For Headache "Have been prescribed this for 20 plus years for migraines. I only have them a few times a year, and as long as I take Fioricet as soon as I start getting the visuals before the migraine pain kicks in, then the migraine is not bad at all. The headache is very light, if at all, as well as the nausea."
