Comment from: agiammasi, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

i am young, about 28 years old.i get tension headaches and severe migraines this medication works if i take it soon as i feel a migraine coming on, unlike other meds this one actually works for me, although it interacts with my other meds i do very well. but don't over do it if you don't need it don't take it. it gives you one hell of a rebound headache then a migraine like you can't even imagine, and thats what happened to me a couple of years ago, when my doc told me take them for prevention. now more new doc told me take when neccessary, it is a miracle.

This is the most successful medication (with absolutely NO side effects) I've taken for headaches. I have used it for over 20 years and trust it completely. There was never even a suggestion of dependence associated with this treatment. Published: April 18, 2008 ::

this medication has helped me with my migrains. it is a good drug but only if you really need because it is a strong medication. this drug works so good for me that their are several days that go by that i do not have to take it and i like that beacause i hate getting migrains.

I have been using Fioricet for 10 years for Migraines and have found it to be the best treatment for me. It can sometimes make me feel a little "stoned" but that passes within half an hour and I can move on with my day. Published: September 19, 2007 ::

Comment from: comethns11, 19-24 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

This medicine really worked for my migranes but I began getting rebound headaches when I wasnt taking it. If you get migranes 3 or more times a week I dont recommend taking this medicine. Published: March 30, 2008 ::

Comment from: tension, 13-18 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I think this med is pretty good, i really enjoy the relaxing feeling, and that is the part that could become addictive, i never though i would have to rely on pills to live my life, i feel that i have grown a dependency on this med, i also have taken oxycodone, that worked better than anything but i cant get prescribed to that, but i am satisfied with this drug the only problem is i end up having to take more that prescribed, just like i did with my dolgic plus. If anyone else finds this med addictive, or dependant, please reply to me, oerall though great med Published: January 29, 2008 ::

Thhis works 90 per cent of the time, as long as you take it as soon as you feel the headache coming. Only thing, you will test for abnormal liver enzymes, I tested for years and no one ever said that the meds were doing it. The retested over and over and ran different blood work, the last thing they wanted to do was a liver biopsy!! Now, I am trying to, after ten years, to try something different! Magnesium, B-12 and COQenzyme is supposed to prevent migraines. Hope it will work! Published: January 20, 2008 ::
