My last Migraine lasted 5 days. Because I do not like the way narcotics make me feel, and few of them help enough to be worth the side effects, I usually have just gone to bed, taking over the counter sleep meds and lots of Excedrin praying no one would flip on the lights without thinking! The 5 day migraine forced me to go to the ER. After a shot Tordadol, several intrusive tests, and finally a...
It have severe migraine I am on six different meds so far the only one that only seems to even relieve some is Cambia and insurance won't pay fly it I am taking these every four hours along with imitrix and all other kinds of muscle relaxers nothing this stuff is a joke

This medication did not completetly take away my migraine headache. It did make me very sleepy & I slept almost 24 hours after taking 1 pill twice in a 10 hour period.

Sometimes my headache is gone with 1 or 2 pills. Sometimes it's just getting better but does not goes away until I take anoter 2 pills in about 1 hour.

This medication is a wonder drug. It relaxes me and relieves my headaches quickly. It was the only thing that got rid of a week long tension headache and it got rid of headache caused by morphine overdose.

i am young, about 28 years old.i get tension headaches and severe migraines this medication works if i take it soon as i feel a migraine coming on, unlike other meds this one actually works for me, although it interacts with my other meds i do very well. but don't over do it if you don't need it don't take it. it gives you one hell of a rebound headache then a migraine like you can't even imagine, and thats what happened to me a couple of years ago, when my doc told me take them for prevention. now more new doc told me take when neccessary, it is a miracle.

I have about one migraine a week and this stuff did nothing! I took it just as directed, and it may as well have been a placebo. My headache didn't get better and I did not feel any other effects.

I have been using Fioricet for 10 years for Migraines and have found it to be the best treatment for me. It can sometimes make me feel a little "stoned" but that passes within half an hour and I can move on with my day.
