| I thought Fioracet only contained butalbital. I didnt know that it also contains codeine. There are two formulations...one with Codeine (called Fioricet or Fiorinal #3 or w/Codeine) and then the other formulations of Fiorinal and Fioricet that do NOT have any Codeine in them. If your prescription bottle does not say "with codeine" or "#3," then you do not have the formulation that has codeine in it. Then of course, there are the differences in Fioricet and Fiorinal, with Fioricet having APAP, and Fiorinal having ASA (Aspirin). Other than that, they are the same, with each having Butalbital and Caffeine (caffeine helps the APAP and ASA work better). |
| I take fioricet everyday. My new doctor says I must stop taking but its the only thing that has worked for me for years. I go off and keep going back on, as it works so well for me. I take about 3+ per day. What is anyones experience with rebound HA at this rate per day? Also, I take Imitrex, which works very well. I take 25 mg. which usually will do the trick. But may need to take 25 mg. later, because it came back. Sometimes, I have HA several days in a row where I need to take Imitrex. I know youre not supposed to take daily. What is the frequency that is ok. I usually wait until Im desperate B4 I take it. Thanks for any feedback anyone can give me. Oh, also, my new Doctor thinks that if I just get off the fioricet, I wont have HA anymore-- she is so ignorant. I will be going to Headache/Pain Clinic, but cant get appt. for 3-9 mo. Lost my old doctor of 13 years. He was great. He had HA too. I am in limbo with no doctors who understand. It s. Hopefull. |
| I had to change doctors after getting a new job. A new neurologist refused to even give me a script for Fioricet so my new regular doctor in the plan did. Until now he says something about someone monitoring how much narcotics he is giving out so he stopped giving this to me. |
| Sometimes, I have HA several days in a row where I need to take Imitrex. I know youre not supposed to take daily. What is the frequency that is ok. I usually wait until Im desperate B4 I take it. Well, I find it works much better if I take it as soon as I feel a headache coming on. (And that the headache doesnt last as long.) So maybe if you take it immediately you won;t need to take it every day. I take it almost every day, and my doctor is fine with that. I do feel like youd do better off the fioricet entirely, but its probably going to be hard on you for a while. It was on me. |
| From: chuckfras...@yahoo.com (Chuck) coughman wrote in message ... I got 30 fioricet with codeine. i think each one has 30mg of codiene in them. I believe there is also some APAP, and some Butalbitol? A few weeks |
