User Reviews for Fiorinal oral

shakey moody

I have a back problem that has caused me to fall frequently, and resulted in landing on my head a couple of times. I have started getting severe migraines and Fiorinal has done wanders. Kicks my headaches fast. I love it.

this drug helps my tension headaches by reducing the tension in my neck and head and at the same time prevents any drowsyness due to the caffine. I am very satisfied with the product.

I pulled my back out and had excruciating pain. I went to my md and she told me to take 4 ibuprophens every 4 hours. I did this for 3 days with no relief. My mother suggested I try a few of her fiorinol. The results were immediate. The next day I could stand up strait and walk with little or no pain. This drug is remarkable for back pain.

I was prescribed this for my tension headaches and found no relief at all.

I had a skull fracture in 2003, so I get migraines almost daily.My doctor prescribed this medication to me but also wrote to have codeine put in it to since my migraines are so bad.This is a miracle drug for me,if I don't have this on me when a migraine triggers I have to go to the ER to get injected with a pain killer and anti-nausea medication.I also take topamax 2 times a day 100 mg too to help prevent my migraines.

I have used this med for over 40 years; it is the only med that handles my pain, quickly so that I can go on with my day. I usually get a migraine when there is a full moon.

I have found this medication to be phenomenal in the treatment of migraine headaches. I have been successfully taking this medication for 28 years, with NO problems whatsoever! Sometimes, I take one extra strength aspirin with one fiorinal/codeine, and this proves more effective when I have an extremely difficult migraine. This way, the prescription 'lasts' longer and the benefits are greater. Also extremely helpful is to lie down in a quiet/dark room 30 minutes after taking this medication.Read More Read Less

This drug worked like nothing else I've tried. I have taken this drug for years with no problems. When I ran low on the capsules on one prescription, I took a Fiorinal and a Tylenol ... for me, that combination worked even better. So to save money and stretch my prescription, it's one Fiorinal and one Tylenol! In a pinch, Excedrin Migraine usually works, but sometimes I need more than one dosage.

I've tried other medications but this has worked best for me. I rarely have to take 2 doses and it goes to work extremely fast. I am a school teacher, High School, and can't afford to have a migraine keep me out of focus. I'm not drowsy, or in a zombie like state at all. I'm so glad my doctor mentioned it to me.

This medication has been a blessing to me! I was in so much pain for 3 months that I wanted to die I had put cardboard over all my windows, kept no noise in my house (example, YV, Computer ect.) and secluded myself from the world because it hurt too bad!!! I took my first pill and in less than 1 hour my headache was gone! AND I HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!!! I am so happy.. I feel as though I have a life again!

I've been on many, but this made me feel the best, until my md took me off of it because of the phenobarbital in it.

GREAT!! Works fast and gets me back to my day. I have a one year old and can't be in bed with the shades down.

I have had extensive oral surgeries with a lot of pain (mainly due to swelling in hard tissues.) Other meds just make me druggy or sleepy. Fiorinal takes away the pain. My oral surgeon was surprised that I did not want something stronger. For me this works better and any other pain med.

I have been taking this medication for a long time I have the light/dark green capsules. I`ll tell ya for me they work wonders. I`ve tried all different meds and this is the only thing I found so I`m sticking with it. If anyone else is taking this paticular one please let me know what you think Thanks

I think this medication has made my heart rate higher, and possibly my blood pressure. Haven't noticed much change in my chronic tension headaches.

This medicine can cause rebound. My Neurologist disscontinued prescribing me. I suffer with more migraine pains. Now it is ineffective.

I have suffered with migraine for years. I had them from age of 17 to 20 then they just stopped! They started agin at age of 23 and I am now 46. My Dr.'s keep wanting me to try something else. Nothing I have tried has given me as much relief. I wear sunglsses indoors and have to use ice packs. I keep ice packs at home,and at work. When I take the Fiorinal with codine I can function. It takes away the sick feeling and takes away all or most of the pain.

Very effective. I hate when I finally find something that works and then the Drs try and say you don't need that anymore!
