For Migraine "In November 2015, I saw my doctor about headaches - he saw a correlation to 'a stubborn cold,' which I did not have active signs of, and suggested OTC meds or later prescribed meds with steroids. The major problem with my 'bad' headaches diminished until a week before Christmas - migraines, not just bad headaches. On Wednesday, 1/6/2016, I went to an emergency clinic and was prescribed Fiorinal, specifically to address migraines. Any time my headaches were severe, I ate and took two Fiorinals. The pills did nothing to diminish my headaches. Instead, I napped often with a blindfold. Today, 1/11/2016, I took two before work. I rated my migraine at 7-8 out of 10 (high pain). At work, I took 1 OTC (brand name) migraine pill; I rated it a 4."

For Migraine "I take one capsule for each migraine when I see the scintillating scotoma/aura coming on. It works so well for me. I just wind up with a slight headache after the aura has ended, which is completely tolerable. It works best if I take it at the first signs of the aura, before any migraine pain has started. I carry the medication with me always, just in case I may need it, which is fortunately only a few times a year. It is truly the right tool for the job. I do feel a little weird the next day after I've taken it, which I refer to as a 'headache hangover.' I'm slightly dizzy, my head feels 'hollow' for lack of a better word, and I'm just a little off. But I will take that side effect over a migraine anytime."

For Migraine "This medicine is frequently prescribed to me when I end up in the ER for a particularly bad migraine. It does very little for my headaches, dulls the pain a bit for several hours and then once it wears off, I'm back to square one. Not practical for me to take this one unless I have the day off from work."

For Migraine "Fiorinal is a miracle when it comes to strong headaches and migraines. Nurofen Plus won't work for me on a migraine, but take 2 Fiorinal, sleep it off, and it's gone."

For Headache "When I have a severe headache that does not fully meet the criteria for a migraine, I turn to Fiorinal. It usually totally knocks the headache out. I would gladly endorse this product."

For Migraine "I only take this for migraines. I take one capsule, and if the headache hasn't eased up within 30 minutes to an hour - I take another. Migraine gone! I've never experienced any side effects."

For Migraine "I have used this for years without any issues or addiction. Now my pharmacist wants to change it to a drug that doesn't work. Tired of pharmacies interfering."

For Headache "This medication works great for my tension headaches. I only need them once or twice a week; taking two relieves the headache or at least reduces it so much that it does not bother me."

For Headache "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't on my tension headaches. Seems to work better than aspirin and caffeine alone, but not by much."
