Yes, I take Fiornal which is the SAME DRUG ONLY IT HAS ASPERIN IN IT INSTEAD OF TYLONAL.
It works for me but it makes you tired and can effect your balance so don't go anywhere on it or drive.
Email me anytime. Good Luck!


Ecca

yes i've used and it made mine worse. hugs.

Hi, GeminiAmy,
I take it now for migraines. It helped for a while, but lately... not so much. The concern is rebound headaches, which I think is my problem. Just be as sparing as possible and you should be okay. Good luck!

Oh, and I have not had fatigue issues, as has Ecca. If anything, it is the other way around for me, but this is pretty much the only caffeine I take in. It does make my skin dry. Drink lots of water!!!!

It didn't help me much last night, it says to take it before the head ache, yeah right, do you think it will be okay to take it at work?

Took it at work and I did fine! I hope it works soon!

Do u need to take this w/ food?

I can do all my normal tasks (or at least as normal as I can with a migraine!) on fioricet. Occasionally I had a little dizziness early on, but not any more. It has caffeine in it to help with the inflammation and also balances our the barbituate effects, I think. I still take my triptan with it.

I hope it helps!

Oh and yes, I do need to take it with food.

Does it take a while to work????

I haven't used this before Amy. Let me know how it turns out.

It does take about a half hour or so to get into your blood stream. I guess it depends on how much food you take with it and your body metabolism. Are you taking a triptan, too? (Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax, etc.) It has not been a huge help for me, but does help sometimes, especially in conjunction with my Imitrex. It seems to me that when my migraines are triggered by weather changes, that is when I get the most benefit from Fioricet. I took it tonight as I was becoming aware of the pre-migraine symptoms and I was able to ward off a bad headache (i think it would have been bad). Now it is just annoying.

I have to take it as soon as I feel a twinge of a migraine. Plus you have to watch how often you take the medicine. My doc has me on only every other day, because you can get rebound headaches from it.
I wish you luck, and less pain too.

It's not working so well, what mg are you taking?

What mg are u guys taking? maybe mine is too small and that's why it's not working well.

I take a fiorcet once in a while when I don't mind being almost knocked out. They work OK if taken as an occasional remedy. As a regular remedy you get too used to them and they lose their effect. Make sure to take it w/food and make sure to drink enough liquid to wash it all the way into your stomach. I almost had a bleeding ulcer from them a few years ago.
