Doctor prescribed this to me for my severe headaches when regular pain relievers did not work. I take it as needed only, as soon as i have a headache that lasts more than 15 minutes. Been really good at relieving pain quickly. I only need one and I'm good

I have been taking this medication for over 20 years for migraines and its the only medication that when I felt one coming on could take and made it go away. If not it turns into a cluster migrain and have to use Imitrex and thats not easy since your allowed only 9 of those pill to last a week. I have always have many migraines so norgesic forte was from haven now that and the Norgesic is not made any more why????? It helped me and I have been tried on every thing and blocks none helped. i have even tried taking the muscle relaxer and excedrin migraine to try to make my own it doesnt work not knowing the compond mixes and amounts can anyone tell me if you know please.These drug compaines need to see not to change some thing so many need and worked for them.Read More Read Less

I use the medication for mild to moderate headache. In order to be effective, one must limit caffeine use. Caffeine can be an effective headache medication, but only if one abstains or limits intake. Found this drug to be highly effective if used no more than 3 days per/week. More than that will cause rebound headache. Not effective for severe headache or migraine.

I was taking this medication and all the sudden my speach started to slow down and within the 2nd day I could not talk at all. Could not believe that a med could do that to someone.

I have used this medication in the past and it relieved my pain in no time. I have recently had muscle spasms in my neck twice and the doctor prescribed another medication that took over a week to relieve my pain. Have they stopped making Norgesic Forte? If they have, I really wish they would put it back on the market. Nothing works like Norgesic Forte.

I have taken this drug as needed for over 25 years and it is the only effective drug I have used to stop muscle spasm and pain. I also am unable to get my prescription refilled because the pharmacy says that it is no longer available. Does anyone know where I can get it?

I was prescribed this for migraines. While it got rid of my headache asap, it left me extremely drowsy, which sort of defeated the point since I was still unable to focus at work.

I was prescibed this to take whenever I got a cluster headache. My cluster headaches (when left untreated) were causing severe migraines. Norgesic Forte helped me get the cluster headaches under control and eliminated my migraines. Walgreens told me that this was taken off the market, my dr. switched me to something else and it is not effective in eliminating my migraines. I can find no information on Norgesic Forte being taken off the market. Hopefully I can get put back on it because it is the only thing that works for my headaches!Read More Read Less

I have had back problems for 25+ years. This seems to work overnight. Have been using now and then for the same number of years with ibuprofen. BUT TALK TO YOUR DR. FIRST... I have been told by Dr. that if you alternate Aceaminophen and Ibuprofen it intensifies the effects. BUT TALK TO YOUR DR. FIRST....

I take this for muscle tension headaches that are very painful. Usually works in 20 minutes and I feel great without any side effects. Let's me continue on with my day. I have used occasionally for 25 years.

Only problem is that the cafeine in it makes it hard for me to fall asleep. Otherwise. it has been helpful.
