fioricet and ibuprofen

I am taking fioricet for headaches and it has acetamenaphin. I have heard alot of negative things about actamenaphen. That is the only medication I am taking and I donot drink. I have been taking this medication for awhile and it seems to be the only one that has helped my headaches so far. The doctor tried me on several different meds, and this is the only one that stopped the headache before it became a migrane.

But, i can say that, right now, i ve been without Fioricet since last friday, when i took 4 and Im feeling super anxious.. trembling, i have nausea and dizziness, cant think straight. Im not sure whats going on, but what i do know is that is not good. Im sure if I take the Fioricet I have in my kitchen it will all go away.. im sure. but after reading your responses in this Forum, i know I shouldnt.

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 take codeine w/Fioricet.. My doctor said it was OK just don't take Ibuprofen for aches until four hours after. I found my pretreatment headaches were much worse then the type I am getting now. As far as the codiene/foricet I find it to do little now. I think sometimes just an Ibuprofen helps as much. Personally I agree with Dragonhater, get whatever you can from your doctor to make yourself comfortable.

Thanks everyonee! Much appreciated. I took tylonol and even thought i was paranoid to take it, my migrane went away.

So I've been getting migraines since like 8th grade and now I'm 9 wks and I usually take extra strength ibuprofen or excedrin migraine.....I had a debilitating migraine last night. Took the Tylenol and it only got worse. I was a hot mess in the bed until now at 5am. Smh.... what are some remedies I can try next time? omg I really thought my head was going to explode or something..

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.

If nothing else is working, ask your Dr for Fioricet. Cheap, prego safe, helps with migraines. Good luck!

No no no, do not the advil, not safe during pregnancy!!!! Only Tylenol is safe. Advil/ ibuprofen will close up a hole in the babies heart and kill it. Don't the anything but Tylenol. Look up advil and closing of the fetal patent ductus arteriosis.

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.

what meds have you tried besides just the fioricet and how have they worked? actually...was the fioricet actually working for you?

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!

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!!!

I am curious for those of you with post fossa decompression surgeries, are you still having headaches and what have you been taking to relieve these? I have been on Fioricet and well due to its addictive qualities I'd much rather get off because working nights again and having an almost 2 year old now I find myself using them more often and I am starting to get rebound headaches from trying to cut it out.

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.

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.

What I can tell you though is that Propanolol is a Beta Blocker used for the preventative treatment of migraine headaches and that Fioricet is a butalbital that is sometimes used for the acute treatment of migraine headache.

I run out every month, substitue with some other pill, and go right back on them- even though I suffer sever depression, fatigue, laziness etc... Yep, an addict. My question is, what is the best way to de-tox at home? I have clonodine and ibuprofen available. Do I need anything more? I take about 10-15 a day. Any help would be greatly appreciaed Thanks. I need help, bad.

y cycle for me, so I try to catch it before it gets too worse, but I always misinterpret my migraines with headaches or sinus headaches and end up taking ibuprofen which makes migraines worse! So don't ever do that or you'll be sorry.....

t become addicted to fioricet and my family doc. was the one who said stop taking the fioricet and everything and just deal with your headaches. So, I unfortunately have to do this at home myself. Please help me figure our a plan that is safe and workable.

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.

gave me a shot of Toredol and also gave me a prescription for Fioricet. The Fioricet worked very well. I have a lot of tension headaches too and of course they accompany my migraines (as if one weren't fun enough??). I have been using the Fioricet for pain in general and it has worked better than anything else I have ever taken (Flexeril, Baclofen, Ibuprofen 800, Tylenol w/Codeine). I usually need pain meds roughly 3-4 days a week. My dr.
