Common Questions and Answers about Fioricet and pregnancy
oxycontin
i took fioricet thruought my pregnancy, the doctor gave it to me. when i was 29 weeks pregnant with my youngest daughter i needed surgery to get my gallbladder out. thats why the doctor gave me percocet. what harm if any, is there? also my baby at 8 months old had a lead level of 20. it eventually came down to 6.9 she is 5 years old now, what are her risks?
I'm realizing after finishing a benzo detox a week ago, I might also be facing a barbituate detox from the phenobarbital and the fioricet. Im already prone to seizures. I'm having trouble knowing if I just feel uncomfortable or if I'm in actual danger. I'm so terrified. When I left detox they told me itsunlikely I'd seize but they didn't say impossible.
I started going through what I believe are withdrawl symptoms because of my alchohol and fioricet use (abuse). I drink 2-3 glasses of white wine every night and end up taking one fioricet in the morning to combat my headache and sluggishness from the wine the night before. Sometimes, I might take another fioricet if my headache returns in the afternoon, but that is no more than maybe once a week. I took my fioricet as ususal yesterday am and again in the afternoon.
and they always ask me if there is anything going on blah blah blah well my last appt i told them about the bad headaches ive been having and bc they havent let up and actually have gotten worse they gave me a script for fioricet or however you spell it. Im supposed to take it as needed but im a little scared. It says its a class c pregnancy med and it just makes me nervous. Is anyone taking it now or taken it with a previous pregnancy?
I had hormonal headaches both times and took Fioricet. It helped so much! I still take it as needed - pms. Without it, I never would have made it 9 months and my doc saw that. My kids are 10 and 7 and perfectly healthy. 'Healthy, happy mommy..healthy, happy babies"!
I'm 27 weeks and I get headaches constantly....i have high bp and gb.....fioricet is my best friend....anyone else take fioricet?
I am taking 2-Fioricet (butalbital, actaminophen, and caffeine- 50/325/40 )daily for tension headaches for 3 years and 1mg clonazepam at bedtime for 15 years for restless leg syndrome.
I ran out of the clonazepam prescription-- last day was Saturday. Monday night was sleepless, and by Tues. late afternoon, became nauseated, dry heaving, shaking, chills--no fever. I thought I had the flu.
m a migraine sufferer before I got pregnant and it gets worse during pregnancy, your OB should be able to prescribe you something alone the lines of Fioricet (a pregnancy mirgrain med) mine has me take it if a dose of regulate Tylenol doesn't knock it out. Works like a charm!
Also try and find your 'triggers' I kept a journal of what o ate and did for a few weeks and saw certain things caused my headaches/migraines to happen more frequently.
Well not my migraines have gotten so bad that I had to go to labor and delivery and I told the doc that I did not want to be put on any narcotics because of fear of the withdrawls and my baby. So they put me on Fioricet. Well I just looked it up and well I guess I can become depended on it as well! I guess my question is. If anyone out there knows if this can effect my baby and if my baby will have withdrawls from it as well.
I was put on something similar (fioricet) for my migraine and my first was over 10lb. I'm back on it with this pregnancy and this one in measuring large too.
I had been on tram pre-preg and had more pain control where I could take less fioricet with a little higher of a dose. Well, my appt was made with a NP-- and suddenly she turns the table & treats me as a drug seeker/addict, ect. Aka:rude, uncaring! I was told to make a follow up appt with my MD (who I wanted to see to begin with!) because he wants me to taper tram & fioricet.
All in all- a blessing in disguise. While I wasn't planning on that I am open!
Hello everyone,
I am new here, but i am looking for some help. I have been taking fioricet for many years and I have not used any fioricet since Tuesday night, (today is Saturday). I don't know if I went through any withdrawals, but I know that I was an utter mess... My hormones are all out of whack and I have been an emotional wreck anyway... So here's my question.
I have a mild tolerance to hydrocodone because of the chronic pain I have due to my hernia. I have no insurance so I cant get the surgery yet, however my script for lortab is only $4.
I am also prescribed Fioricet w/coedine for tension headaches.
When I am out of lortab, I take the fioricet w/coedine for both headaches and hernia pain. I am 26, weigh 185lbs, and am 6'2. I take an average of 7-9 lortab a day and 6-7 fioricet a day (maybe only one over recomended doese, based on pain levels).
I have taken fioricet for more than 30 years. I developed migraines at age 8 and was thrilled to find something that took away the pain. For at least five years now my doctors have been chastising me and telling me to stop taking fioricet. Even my insurance company has sent me warnings about fioricet. Since I can't get anyone to prescribe it for me I have been ordering it online for over two years and have maxed out credit cards and spent huge amounts of money.
Im not a doctor but ive been on both hydrocodone and butalbital (generic vicodin and fioricet) for about 2 years now without any interacting symptoms. Oftentimes if you think you might be experiencing problems your body will release epinephrine (adrenaline) which could be causing your symptoms. Try to do everything to relax the next time it occurs.
I've been taking Fioricet with Codeine for 5 years now for my migraines and I can't even imagine my life without it. I'm only 18, started when I was 13, and I've tried so many different medications for migraine prevention and zapping the migraines when I get them. Nothing else has come close to doing what the Fioricet with Codeine does.
