| 5 | headaches | none | it works | F | 56 | | 8/14/2001 | 5 | Migraine | Gets rid of my migraine!!!! | I've had migraines since I was 16 yo. I've tried everything. I've been on beta-blockers to help prevent them. This is the only thing that has ever gotten rid of my migraine within an hour to hour 1/2. I take 1-2 Caps ever 4-6 hrs as needed. It doesn't make me feel intoxicated in any way. It just does it's job. I do take excedrine migraine first then I take this if it doesn't work. My migraines are debilitating to the point all noise and light kills me. I puke all day and just lay there in misery. This is a wonderful drug! | F | 27 | 1X AN | 10/14/2010 | 5 | headaches | dizzy & light headed | F | 47 | 3 times | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Migraine-type headache | Allergic reaction. Face & Lip swelling, itchy facial hives. Burned lips & skin around the mouth. Burned mucosa inside the mouth. Nasty, nasty side effects & the headache raged on. | F | 47 | 3 times | 6/27/2007 | 4 | Migraine headaches | None. | F | 26 | 1 days 325 | 1/30/2016 | 5 | Migraine n scoliosis with DJD | None great for my migraine back pain n toothache..this medicine is a miracle pill. | This is very good to try | F | 48 | 6 days 50-40-300 2X day | 4/9/2021 | 4 | Recurring headaches | A little drowsy and felt great | F | 24 | 7 days | 7/2/2015 | 2 | migraines | Fioricet makes me dizzy and queasy, and I have to lie down and try to sleep. | It does little for my migraines, and the side effects compound the migraine symptoms. | F | 42 | 10 days | 7/11/2005 | 5 | Severe Debilitating Tension headach | Sleepiness | I can not express how well this drug worked for me. I came home from work due to a tension headache, took this med, layed in bedo for a half hour and fell asleep.. woke up in no pain!! it was amazing! yes it makes me sleepy, but im ok with that! | F | 24 | 14 days 50-325-40 2X AN | 7/12/2010 | 5 | sinus pain | no side effects | a good med for pain | M | 47 | 20 days | 11/24/2008 | 4 | persistant headaches | the codeine version makes me sleepy, not as effective | the non codeine version was great... within 1/2 hour i was pain free | F | 22 | 3 weeks | 12/11/2007 | 3 | Tension headache from clench teeth | None. Just take a lax or stool softener | M | 33 | 4 weeks 2 in am | 8/6/2015 | 5 | persistent headaches | Positive - this improves my mood, social skills, and mental acuity. I also have noticed an increase in motivation, which leads to productivity. Negative - this has HIGH abuse potential if not kept in check. I have definitely noticed a rapidly developing tolerance. NOT an ideal medication for anyone who has frequently abused or currently abuses drugs of any sort. | I have had daily debilitating headaches (sometimes they fit the criteria for migraines, sometimes they do not) for a few months now - ever since I took Wellbutrin for a few days. OTC headache treatments have NEVER worked for me, not even as a small child, so this was a godsend! However, tolerance to codeine escalates rather quickly, and does not ever top out (it is an opiate). Barbiturates are also supposedly very addictive; I have not noticed any signs of physical addiction yet. I am trying to find another medicine that works for me because of the addiction/abuse potential. Unfortunately, this is BY FAR the best thing I have found. Most other medications render me what I can only describe as "narcoleptic" for a few days, and some are too intoxicating to be of any use. Note: the first week or so I took this, it was also mildly intoxicating. However, I got over it, and no longer get such effects. | F | 19 | 5 weeks | 2/14/2007 | 1 | chronic back pain | headache and hangover | I have chronic back pain and I'm waiting to have the spinal stimulat. put in. I have been taking Lortab 10 6times a day for 7 yrs and it worked up til this year . my Dr. switched me to this medication and it sucks when compaired to the lortab. Ive had to go buy medication off the street to get me buy until I cld get a different type of pain medicine. This medication made me very drunk but it didnt help any of my pain. I had a very bad headache and woke up with the worse hangover. I didnt like this medicine at all. Maybe for someone with low pain rating it will work but not for very bad pain . | F | 33 | 1 months 30mg 6X day | 8/29/2010 | 5 | Chronic chest cramps from stress | Drowsiness, Dry mouth | I was dealing with cramps in my chest wall brought on by stress and over-working, and my doctor prescribed this instead of a muscle relaxer. Even though its used mainly for migraines, it worked wonders. The cramps stopped and the pain and soreness it caused stopped also. I can see how this drug can be very addicting though, so it's best to use it sparingly. | M | 22 | 2 months 2X day | 4/17/2010 | 5 | Very Bad Headaches | Dry Mouth, constipation | I have had very bad headaches since July 2009. this is the only medicine that has helped me. I take it as perscribed but it takes my headache away right away. Just dont overtake it. | F | 29 | 4 months | 1/30/2010 | 5 | Migraine/tension headaches | sedation | Works very well for mild migraines and for mild-moderate tension headaches. I've only ever had generic, so I can't say whether brand is superior as many others have claimed, but I am very satisfied with its efficacy for migraines, bad tension headaches, and cluster headaches | F | 27 | 6 months 1-2 cap 1X AN | 3/24/2011 | 5 | Migraine | Infrequently I will experience slight nausea | I have suffered from migraines for almost 35 years and this is one of only 2 drugs that have ever helped. The other drug that works well is valium. | M | 55 | 7 months | 11/15/2006 | 5 | chronic headaches | constipation, increased dosages | I think this medicine works wonders, but over time you have to take more and more for it to work. I tried to come off of the drug and the reboud headaches weren't like anything I have ever experienced. I take two capsules two to three times daily depending on my headaches. I have seen a neurologist for my headaches, and they can't seem to find anything significantly wrong...weird, I have chronic headaches for some reason. | F | 27 | 8 months | 6/27/2006 | 3 | Migranes/tension headaches | Dizzyness, confusion, sleepiness | Be SO SO careful taking this drug...it can work and has worked well for me-depending on the type of HA I have, but is also incredibly habit forming. If you can take something else-do it. If you have to take this drug-do so with care. I no longer use it because I struggled with addiction to it. Also-prolonged use/overuse of any Tylenol product will cause kindey damage. You can get through a migraine but dialysis is a little tougher. A good neuro can provide some better options. | F | 41 | 10 months | 10/14/2008 |
