I take (and abuse) fioricet with codeine capsules... Bultalbital is the generic name.... I do not know how much codeine is in each capsule, but I know one should NEVER take more than ten in 24 hours due to respitory depression which can cause death...
My DOC is fioricet. It's so horrible because it's so wonderful damn it !!!! Do I have any company out there ? Maybe we can help eachother... Thanks in advance for any and all posts.
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 am 46 years old and have been taking fioricet since I was 17. I suffer from chronic daily headaches and take upwards of 12 or more fioricet a day as well as topamax and effexor for prevention of migraines. Since my doctor will only prescribe up to 6 fioricet per day, I have resorted to orderly brand fioricet online as $200 for 90 tablets.
My questions are how to detox at home off fioricet - should I take 12 tabs, then 11 the next day, then 10 the next day or what?
In December, I stopped vicodin cold turkey and have never looked back (well, maybe a few times I peeked!)... Anyway, my doc Rx'd fioricet for headaches recently and I only took them for about 3-4 days until my head was feeling better... Well, here's my question. I feel like I am withdrawing from opiates all over again! Nausea, heart palps, weird sensations in hands, muscle twitches, etc etc... Could this be from just a few days useage of fioricet?
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.
Fioricet is a very hard drug to come off of ..YOU HAVE TO TAPER OFF OF IT .alot of doctor hospitalize people to . Plz talk to a doctor they he/she can work out a taper plan for you .wd are dangerous there are seizure risks.so plz plz do not try doing this without a taper plan and help.
Does anyone know if it is ok to release the medicine out of capsules and mix the medicine up in juice? I have a problem swallowing pills and was not sure if this was an option????
ve been taking Fioricet daily for probably 6 months. Started innocently of course. I understand the Fioricet is causing my daily migraines and I need to taper off. I get Botox for migraines (4 rounds so far) which should be working and probably truly is but because I take so much Fioricet, I get awful migraines every single day. I wanted to start a taper plan this week but the migraines are so bad I wasn't able to stick with just 4 per day (then taper from there).
My neurologist prescribed Fioricet for migraines and I have taken occasionally over the last 7 years. My dosage is very low as I only can take 2 in a 24 hour period.
After the second aneurysm 6 months ago, I have been taking Fioricet daily with no relief. Went to another neurologist who gave me a nerve block. Bad mistake. I have never been so sick. He also told me I was having rebound headaches from the Fioricet. I decided to stop taking it.
ve been on that medication, being prescribed - at one point - 200 capsules per week of the Fiorinal/Fioricet with codeine. The Fiorinal w/codeine caused an abscessed ulcer 4 years ago and was rushed to emergency surgery. The change was then made to Fioricet with codeine, now at 100 capsules per week (14 per day), in addition to one tablet of ameproxade a day (acid reducer) for the rest of my life.
I only used meds when i needed them, never long term. But I ve been using Fioricet for about 2 yrs. Im not sure when it became on a daily basis. I started thinking "oh, i have a headache again this morning, I need the Fioricet again" , took 2 in the mornings, and that was it.. It felt really good, I felt energetic but calmed and relaxed at the same time. After 6 months of taking it maybe 4 times a week/2 per day am, it started feeling sleepy during the day.
I wanted to share my story about fioricet addiction so that I could possibly help someone else. I started taking Fioricet 11 years ago, I was asked by a " friend" if my dr would call me in a script for it ( my so called friend is heavly addicted to fioricet ) my dr did call me in 90 with 3 refills , I gave my friend 40 & kept the rest. I decided to take 1 & liked the way it made me feel so I took 2. Now back 11 years ago I had these " rules" I would follow..
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 am worried for my daughter who has carpal tunnel. The company doc prescribed fioricet. Is fioricet ever indicated or used in the treatment of carpal tunnel? I cannot find one piece of literature to support this use of fioricet, online. Have been looking for hours. 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.
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.
Does anyone know if butalbital (fioricet) builds up in your system? It seems if I take it over a couple days for a migraine that even when I do the rx dose it affects me more on the 2nd or 3rd day. Just wondering what others have found.
Thanks!
I have been taking fioricet for tension headaches since around 1991. My doctor prescribes 4 per day, but I take 8. I need to get off this merry-go-round,. Help me to gradually taper off without having full blown migraines as a result of not taking the fioricet.
Hi. I had been taking fioricet (no codeine) for approximately 10 years, first for relentless headaches and later for a cervical spine problem. I took 3 a day on average and never took more than four when my pain was at it's worst. It didn't rid me of the pain, but seemed to at least allow me to function. I began getting concerned and tried to stop taking, but it was obvious that my body was addicted. My doc corrected me and said I was dependent.
can anybody relate to the symptoms i am attributing to fioricet with codeine? i have taken it for many yrs for cluster headaches am allergic to nsaids i am anxious and very depressed anybody?
i do know that part of the fioricet is a barbituate and u do have to wean down to quit....have u talked to your doctor?
