i don't know what doses others are on, but mine is a generic white pill. i find sometimes it works quite well, when other times it doesn't work at all and i find i am taking another one an hour later. I'm not sure of the strength, but it doesn't work all the time. Published: October 01, 2007 ::

Very effective. I hate when I finally find something that works and then the Drs try and say you don't need that anymore! Published: December 18, 2007 ::

I have suffered with migraine for years. I had them from age of 17 to 20 then they just stopped! They started agin at age of 23 and I am now 46. My Dr.'s keep wanting me to try something else. Nothing I have tried has given me as much relief. I wear sunglsses indoors and have to use ice packs. I keep ice packs at home,and at work. When I take the Fiorinal with codine I can function. It takes away the sick feeling and takes away all or most of the pain. Published: February 07, 2008 ::

After two doses this was able to relieve what I have been dealing with for a while now. These headaches had left me incapable of functioning I have now found a answer. Published: November 27, 2007 ::

I have been taking this medication for a long time I have the light/dark green capsules. I`ll tell ya for me they work wonders. I`ve tried all different meds and this is the only thing I found so I`m sticking with it. If anyone else is taking this paticular one please let me know what you think Thanks Published: February 29, 2008 ::

Love This medication!! I go from wearing sunglasses in the house to playing outside in an hour. Usually take 1-2 once a month and it just knocks a migraine flat. I don't feel drugged or tired. Try not to drive though, it dulls your reaction time. It does not seem to be effective on a 'normal' headache. A consideration: Fioricet comes in a tablet and can be split when the headache isn't that bad. I think the only difference is Fiorinal has aspirin and Fioricet has Tylenol Published: December 08, 2007 ::

This medication has been a blessing to me! I was in so much pain for 3 months that I wanted to die I had put cardboard over all my windows, kept no noise in my house (example, YV, Computer ect.) and secluded myself from the world because it hurt too bad!!! I took my first pill and in less than 1 hour my headache was gone! AND I HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!!! I am so happy.. I feel as though I have a life again! Published: June 26, 2008 ::

I've been on many, but this made me feel the best, until my md took me off of it because of the phenobarbital in it. Published: June 21, 2008 ::
