My last Migraine lasted 5 days. Because I do not like the way narcotics make me feel, and few of them help enough to be worth the side effects, I usually have just gone to bed, taking over the counter sleep meds and lots of Excedrin praying no one would flip on the lights without thinking!

This medication did not completetly take away my migraine headache. It did make me very sleepy & I slept almost 24 hours after taking 1 pill twice in a 10 hour period.

This medication is a wonder drug. It relaxes me and relieves my headaches quickly. It was the only thing that got rid of a week long tension headache and it got rid of headache caused by morphine overdose.

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.

I have about one migraine a week and this stuff did nothing! I took it just as directed, and it may as well have been a placebo. My headache didn't get better and I did not feel any other effects.

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.
