i have been on every migraine drug under the sun, including schedule II narcotics, as will as triptan type meds.this medication ( without the codeine, which i am allergic to) works very well if a regular goody powder does not arrest the headache. it also stops the vomiting dead in it's tracks. it is a tried and true "old school" drug. i take as directed. if i have a really bad migraine, will take...
This medicine caused my face to swell so bad that I could not see. My tongue swelled and my throat started to close. After getting treated with an IV with Benadryl I had a bad painful rash on my face for 5 days.

Love This medication!! I go from wearing sunglasses in the house to playing outside in an hour. Usually take 1-2 once a month and it just knocks a migraine flat. I don't feel drugged or tired. Try not to drive though, it dulls your reaction time. It does not seem to be effective on a 'normal' headache. A consideration: Fioricet comes in a tablet and can be split when the headache isn't that bad. I think the only difference is Fiorinal has aspirin and Fioricet has Tylenol

After two doses this was able to relieve what I have been dealing with for a while now. These headaches had left me incapable of functioning I have now found a answer.

I've had migraines for 8 years and now I have high blood pressure from having my twins. Now I can't take migraine medication and this is one of the only medications that's helped me.

i don't know what doses others are on, but mine is a generic white pill. i find sometimes it works quite well, when other times it doesn't work at all and i find i am taking another one an hour later. I'm not sure of the strength, but it doesn't work all the time.
