| 5 | MIGRAINES | Slightly sleepy | It is the only thing that has worked consistently for me. | F | 57 | 15 years | 9/21/2005 | 5 | Migraines, headaches, general pain | Some jumpiness | This is the only medication that actually worked on my headaches and for years I would take 1 or 2 only when needed. There were some other medical problems with a lot of pain, and after I was ok and didn't need stronger medication, I figured I could use fioricet w/codeine as my all-purpose pain medication. I must admit that for over a year my tolerance has increased and I now must take at least three a day at the same time. Frankly, I can't figure out whether I really need it or not. I want to taper off and think my doctor is about to cut me off, but I can't seem to wind down or don't know how to do safely (doctor vague on this). Has anyone successfully tapered off? How and what did you experience. I still think it is a great medication, when used properly but I am pretty sure I am dependent, and very concerned. Thanks for any specific suggestions. | F | 59 | 9 years | 9/22/2009 | 5 | Chronic muscle tension headaches | Constipation | Very effective for relief of chronic moderate muscle tension headaches caused by whiplash auto accidents | M | 65 | 10 years | 7/17/2016 | 5 | headaches and back pain | only positive side effects----unless taking too much. Then I get rebound headaches, but being sensible works wonders. I don't know of any other drug that works as well for me. | I have arthritis and back problems. I have tried other meds such as percocet, vicodin, etc. the fioricent w/ codeine has been as effective, if not more, than the other drugs. I have been taking this drug for nearly 40 years and don't find that I have to take more as the years go on. usually one a day will do the trick. | F | 67 | 40 years | 7/20/2009 |
