I have suffered from severe, debilitating cervigenic migraines every few days, each lasting from 3 to 10 days. Little to no sleep at night. Tried it all; Cervical blocks, occipital blocks, facet injections, tramadol, amitriptylene, protriptylene,soma, halcion, skelaxin, flexeril, codiene, vicodin, physical therapy, deep tissue massage, bio feedback, surgery, etc. This is the only med that touchs them. It must be taken at the first hint of a migraine. In 15+ years I have never had an adiction problem.
I’m pregnant and thought I was just going to suffer through my migranes. I have had a headache for about three weeks and went in today and was surprised to be prescribed this medication. It worked within ten minutes. I feel soooo much better.
This is the best migraine medicine that i have ever taken. It had literally cleared up my migraine in ten minutes. This medicine did not make me drowsy, dizzy, or even nauseated. I would recommend this to anyone especially if you are pregnant. I though that I would be stuck dealing with these migraines through pregnancy, but luckily i received this prescription.
as a long time suffer of cluster headaches this helped more than any migrane pill
Condition: Migraine Headache
My doc prescribed this for me when I was pregnant. I had migraines so bad I could not see out of my left eye. It worked really well and I only had to take it for about three weeks.
Condition: Migraine Headache
I had a headache for three days and was hospitalized. They could find nothing to help me get over the headache. Finally they tried fioricet and it worked. I now have some on hand so when I feel a headache coming on I usually take two pills and it is gone. If a headache gets away from me, I can usually use four pills and that is all I need. I get a headache once a month or less often.
Condition: Tension Headache
For years I suffered from severe headaches. My doctor gave me a label “Mixed Headache Syndrome” which basically means I have different types of headaches…tension, migraine, menstrual. Before getting the correct combination of meds, I would pace the floor for hours and then hang over the toilet throwing up. The combination that really works for me is … Fioricet (especially for the tension headaches that go up the back of the neck), fioricet with codeine if it increases, relpax for the migraines, especially the ones with the aura/the bright flashing lights in front of my eyes. If all these don’t kick in, I take tranxene to knock me out. It’s better than showing up at the Emergency Room or wishing you were dead. I have 8 sisters and we all carry Fioricet for our headaches.
Condition: Tension Headache
works good but i only take it at night and would be nervous to take it at work cuz it makes me slightly sleepy!
Condition: Migraine Headache
It has taken soooo long to find something to treat the headaches I haave. The very first day I took this it was gone! What a Godsend!!
Condition: Tension Headache
I had a headache last Sunday-Friday, it would be fleeting but intense for a few seconds every few hours. I was prescribed this on Friday and ever since feel like a new person!
Condition: Tension Headache
I have had bad migraine for a week and a half. My doctor gave me this cause I am pregnate and regular tylnol didn’t help. I haven’t really noticed it helping much but I hope after time it will.
Condition: Tension Headache
This medication has worked wonders for my constant headaches. I have only really noticed dizziness as a side effect. Works better on a empty stomach.
Condition: Tension Headache
This medication worked pretty well to relieve my tension headaches. *However,* my previous doctor prescribed this along with Soma (even writing them on the same prescription slip) and never told me not to take them together. It was a disastrous and possibly life-threatening experiencing experience. So now I don’t even keep the same medications in the same drawer! It is an effective medication, and I never suffered any kind of difficulty stopping it, but definitely do not mix it with either Soma or alcohol (as it contains acetaminophen as well).
