Butabarbital "I was prescribed this medication for treatment-resistant insomnia, but I've found that it actually works best for relieving anxiety and promoting general relaxation. I have social anxiety, especially. I took one before a wedding, and it really helped me be able to interact with others (rather than sit in a corner alone). In terms of the insomnia, Butisol knocks me out a couple of hours earlier than other medications I've tried. Also, experiencing no hangover or side effects the day after is a huge bonus."

Butabarbital "Butisol Sodium is the only medicine that can make me fall asleep when I’m suffering from a migraine. I have had migraines since I was a child, and this is the last line of defense after I’ve tried taking my Imitrex shot and taken Advil and have already started vomiting. It’s much cheaper than the shorter-acting but faster-acting barbiturates (Seconal, Nembutal). I am also left with no hangover. This med, used properly, is amazing."

"I was prescribed this drug for a tension headache, which I happened to have during a doctor's visit. While waiting at the pharmacy (problems with the written script, which took longer), I was pressing on my temples for minor relief. After obtaining butalbital, I took the prescribed dose ASAP. My home was 5 blocks from the pharmacy, and as I entered my driveway, I surprisingly noticed decreased pain. My headache was gone after getting home!"

Butabarbital "Been on it for almost 2 months for migraine. It does great when taken every 4 hours, but if you forget one, the damn migraine is 10 times worse. I'm happy with it so far."
