For Headache "Was prescribed Fioricet for my headaches that don't go away with regular means or my Toradol. I've either woken up with or developed a headache for 2 weeks in a row now. The Fioricet seemed to make the headache abate, so I didn't notice it as much the first day I took it, but the headache was back the next day. So, it didn't work for me, but it does make me not care so much and feel sleepy. As you can see by the other posts here, whether it works or not is a personal thing."

For Headache "I suffered severely from tension headaches. Finally, I talked to my doctor, he prescribed this. Took it for the first time today, no headache, but I am sleepy."

For Headache "Works great, but it does make me sleepy at first. I have found that I only have to take it once, and my headache is gone for the rest of the day!"
