vicodin

Avatar f tn She is already on an antidepressant. This drug scares me. E.R. Docs gave her hydrocodone, and she took 17 in just two days! I got tvto surgery one week ago and was prescribed the same, hydrocodone. I still have 16 left. Daughter has no history of drug abuse. Her condition is as bad as it gets. Hands look like shiny balloons and doctor will not acknowledge carpal tunnel. Says her hands are just tired. Pffft!!!

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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).
951587 tn?1249227148 I used to be addicted to food, and then since I had my gastric bypass surgery 6 years ago, I started abusing pain meds including Fioricet (with and without codeine), Hydrocodone, and Oxycodone. I have been in this struggle on and off. Currently on... I sometimes take about 20 fioricet a day. If I have other pain meds on hand, then not as many Fioricet, but probably a combines total of about 25 pills a day.....
Avatar n tn Are you taking the med under the care of a doctor? If you are, most doctors deal with this kind of thing all the time, and they can give you a plan for how to taper off the medication... In the event that you feel you want to get off it right away, then you should really contact your doc. Two weeks ago I stopped taking fioricet, it was hell. I didn't even realize that it was the withdrawals until I was well in to day 5. It was really awful.
768044 tn?1294223436 both for those of us who take daily migraine medications and for anyone who takes ANY type of daily medication for an unrelated condition and any sort of change in one's routine can trigger a migraine. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have god awful migraines and i have propanolol to take every day then i have firocet and hydrocodone to take when Tylenol doesn't work. Talk to your dr cause a headache not taken care of with Tylenol could be nore serious.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I will apologize in advance for my lengthy post, b/c I know it will be, lol. I first began taking lortabs in 2003 after a major knee surgery (my 3rd, at the ripe old age of 28) that had a 50/50 shot of working (guess which side I l&ed on). After months of PT & meds from orthopedic surgeon, he referred me to a PM Doctor - Oh boy, I should have missed that appointment!
Avatar f tn t work, put me on NORCO which is hydrocodone with tylenol, but less tylenol than usual. It really helped with my headaches and I credit it for helping me to stay on SOC and eventually SVR. I was taking alot of them though and had to be weaned off of them at the end of tx.
Avatar f tn 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.
951587 tn?1249227148 She is the one who introduced me to fioricet with codeine capsules.... anyway, she just called me, and told me that today she has taken about 7 fioricet wit codeine that she remembers and nine lortab 7.5 tht she can remember...she told me that she wants to just basically feel numb, and wants to take more. Of course I told her not to, and will be calling her back, but how many is TOO many?
Avatar f tn I was having them daily and my dr finally put me on a combination of magnesium and b2 and then melatonin as well as hydrocodone when needed. It has seemed to help. I was taking Tylenol and got no relief so something had to give.
Avatar f tn 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.
1690584 tn?1340297472 Also Fioricet has both a barbiturate and caffeine. Caffeine should be limited to 200 mg or less per day while pregnant and one Fioricet has 40mg. Definitely do some research before taking Fioricet while pregnant. I've been taking Tylenol for my migraines while pregnant which doesn't entirely get rid of them but at least keeps them at bay. I have also found that warm showers and a heating pad on my neck helps some. Best wishes for you...hopefully your migraines will ease up!
Avatar m tn m addicted to just about any narcotic analgesic I can get my hands on -- but currently Fioricet w/Codeine, Codeine Sulfate and Hydrocodone. (Average daily consumption: 420mg Codeine, 400mg Butalbital (barbiturate in the Fioricet) and 20mg Hydrocodone--measly amount I know, but I can only get small rx of 5/500 Vicodins at a time--In addition 500mg Caffeine (also in Fioricet) and over 5000+mg Acetaminophen from eveything together -- my liver HAS to be shot!
Avatar f tn m vomiting, suffering from extreme anxiety and shaking so badly I can barely function. I have a box of suboxone left and was wondering if they might help me get thru the withdrawal of the Fioricet. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!!!
469210 tn?1219188128 I am taking a mess of pills right now looking for relief. Vicodin, Darvocet, Fioricet, Tylenol 3, I also take BusPar and Effexor. My body hurts so bad for two days after my injection that all I can do is cry. The Vicodin and Tylenol 3 I got from my friend. I save them like precious gems and only take them if it's unbearable. I feel ashamed. I guess I'm hurting myself even worse.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I hear ya! I had a similar experience, I started having constant headaches and several migraines a week and that continued for a YEAR! My doc said "it's just chronic migraines" and only gave me a couple of refills on Fioricet and then was concerned about dependancy too. I tried the Imitrex and Maxalt but those didn't work so I just had to suffer it out with constant daily headaches, a newborn (this all started the week after I gave birth) and a 2 year old.
Avatar m tn OMG ... I JUST found this post of yours after you responded to MY POST: "NEED HELP STOPPING FIORICET W/ CODEINE" last week ... and didn't realize til finding and reading THIS how much you DO know and DO understand what I'm going thru!!! Fioricet & Fiorinal both with AND without Codeine have been my drug of choice on and off for over 20 YEARS!
Avatar f tn 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.
