works well

Periodically I get headaches which feel as though someone is slamming the bottom half of the back of my head with a baseball bat. These headaches come on very suddenly and render me useless. My PCP suggested I try Fioricet in case it worked on an MS headache. When I get one of these headaches I take a Fioricet immediately and it decreases the headache by 50 within ten minutes. Thats good enough for me!

good but takes a long time to work, and no guarantee if it will work.

Worked great. Only side effect was drowsiness, but cannot take anymore due to previous liver failure.
