I have migranes that link one to the next for weeks at a time, and have found that taking this drug within the first 48 hours causes these chain headaches to end within a much shorter period of time. The current headache doesn't always go away but within a day or so the pain will go away and the vessels shrink back to normal. If taken after the first 48 hours this drug doesn't seem to have much of...

I have experienced debilitating headaches for more than 30 years. They don't fall under any specific headache classification, ie: migraine, tension, cluster, etc. The only med that has consistantly made my headaches tolerable is fiorinal (generic). I have been given everything from narcotics to who-knows-what but always I end up with fiorinal and, therefore, less pain.

It helps get rid of my headache. If it doesn't I don't care that I have a headache.

You have to take it before the pain starts or it is inefective. Prep before is time consuming... on full stomach, drink 8 oz water, wait f0 minutes before sleeping.

Before taking this med, my headaches would escalate to the migraine stage,accompanied by nausea. I missed work and social engagements because the headaches were incapacitating. With one tablet of fiorinal (generic) my headache is gone. I have used this med (only one or two tabs a month) since 1980 with no side effects at all. Have not missed a day of work due to headache since taking the med.

I have epilepsy and get migraines on a regular basis. I tried treximet and quit after the first dose because i had every basic side effect you could get from it. I was switched to this by my doctor because my fiance also takes it and recommended it. Not a single side effect. pain goes away with in the hour and i can go on with my life. and it doesnt have acetaminophen which makes me sick to my stomach, so this was great. :)

This drug has helped me get rid of tension headaches on a number of occaisions. It does tend to make me slightly drowsy, but still allows me to function normally.
