Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine 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."

Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine 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."

Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine 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."

Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine 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."

Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine 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."

For Headache "I had severe migraines and tension headaches for years and tried various medicines. As soon as I would find one, then they took it off the market… So a friend had me try this one, and it worked! And it was easier to get. My doctor prescribed them for me, and it’s a pain because my insurance won’t dispense them through my mail order on a regular basis, but I can get them filled by calling the doctor's office and picking them up at the local pharmacist. Definitely get the pill, not the capsule! So insurance will pay for most of it. The medicine itself works so well to relieve my symptoms of nausea and pain relief with just a mild sedative feeling of relaxation, so I can still work. I am so grateful for this medicine."

For Headache "I've suffered headaches for many years due to other medications I have to take. I've been using this acetaminophen & butalbital & caffeine combo medication for about 10 years now. Before that, I was taking way too many over-the-counter headache pills. My sister one day gave me two of the Fioricet, and they worked without any side effects. Anything stronger would eat at my stomach, or I would get nauseous. I talked with my doctor and have been using it ever since. The Fioricet has only three ingredients, and I love that. It has always, even after many years, still worked without any side effects. Thank you to the makers of this particular drug."

Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine for Headache "I used this medicine, and it works great, but initially, it causes nausea and is very hard on your stomach. My stomach felt 'queasy' after ingestion, but the feeling was temporary. The pain relief was immediate."
