"Started getting terrible migraines after abdominal surgery. Had no idea exploding head pain could be so debilitating. Was on Midrin for awhile, asked doc for something a bit stronger: Fiorinal with codeine. Only thing that works. My love goes out to all of you with severe, endless migraines. They can drive you insane. Fiorinal with codeine is the best, works for many kinds of pain too."

"Have taken Fiorinal with Codeine off and on for 25 years. After having tried over 70 medications, nerve blocks, Botox injections, and spent thousands of dollars on doctors and ERs, it is the only medication that relieves my migraines and allows me to function."

"I have taken Fiorinal w/ codeine for over 20 years for debilitating chronic migraine. It works within 25-40 minutes, alleviating pain, nausea, and sound and light sensitivity, and rendering me completely functional. I experience no side effects. Note that I have tried 40 different prescribed preventative and abortive medications spanning 20+ drug classifications (including the newest CGRPs); all were totally ineffective. I have no adverse effects from long-term use of Fiorinal w/ codeine as indicated by thorough yearly physicals. Age group: 60 - 70 years old."

"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."
