Mikart generic fioricet

Does Mikart make a generic Fioricet? I know they stopped making it for awhile, but they definitely worked the best for me. Hopefully, they will again!! ## Yes I was getting that same generic for Fioricet and had the MIA on one side and 110 on the other I believe those worked very well it seems like every time something works well they take it away ## Is Mikart still making the generic Fioricet 110? My pharmacy says it can no longer get it. ## Hi Dee, yes they do. It's a white oblong pill that says MIA on one side and 110 on the other side. That pill worked the best for me as far as any generic for Fioricet; and the Mikart brand is so difficult to get. They actually sold it to another company. If you need further details I can give you the company’s name and they will find a lo...

Nurtec ODT - Worked well for abdominal migraines

I get abdominal migraines, basically it’s a migraine in your stomach instead of your head and it’s absolutely horrible. It’s like a stabbing pain with nausea and vomiting, and also diarrhea. Should I try to put anything in my stomach it’s immediately rejected however my body can figure out how to do that and they last between one and three days. This medication aborted an episode, it took about four hours instead of the one hour it claims, but it actually worked. I could tell I was still in pain because I was kind of hunched over when I would walk and I would catch myself doing the stomach pain type of breathing, if you’ve had that kind of pain you know what I’m talking about. But I was detached, it was like I was observing pain but not feeling it. I ...

How soon can I take Klonopin after Fioricet?

Is it safe if I took fioricet about 4 hours ago and then take klonopin? ## Has your doctor prescribed them both? The problem with taking them together is due to the Butalbital in the Fioricet and the Clonazepam in the Klonopin, some barbiturates can reduce the efficacy of Benzodiazepines, so the Klonopin may not be as effective for you, as it was, at its regular dosage. However, conversely, the Benzodiazepines can increase the amount of the Barbiturate that your body absorbs and, in some cases, where people where taking high doses of both, it has resulted in an overdose. ## Yes, the dr prescribed both. I took a klonopin two hours ago as of writing this. Now I have headache and need to know if I can take a fioricet? ## How long do I have to wait to take tramadol or nyquil after taking fi...

Depakote, Kepra, & Topamax

What are the side effects of a combination of all three medicines for a seizure disorder? Have been on the Depakote and Topamax for years with the Kepra only recently added for partial seizures. I noticed that my hair is now thinning dramatically and I'm now suffering from insomnia! I'm thinking it may have something to do with the addition of the Kepra. Am I correct? Is there a solution for this problem? Has anyone else ever come across this problem or complaint? I will, of course, consult my neurologist before doing anything. Just wanted to know what you thoughts. ## The basic side effect profile remains the same, and the FDA lists it as including things like nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, mood changes, weight changes, and the hair loss that you mentioned, however, t...

Emgality Reviews

Has anyone tried this medication called Emgality? ## It’s really weird that since 2019 nobody has come to this website to post anything about Emgality? I have a hard time believing that considering all the bad reviews out there. Is the Emgality manufacturer paying to keep these terrible side effects off this site? This is really upsetting as I’ve used and trusted this website for five years at least, it’s bad enough they’re paying the neurologist to tell people there are zero side effects FYI, if a medical professional tells you there are zero side effects you need to run from whatever medication they are trying to give you because that’s the biggest lie ever.

Need to know side effects of Fiorinal

I think I am having some rare side effects from Fiorinal BUT/ASA/CAFF, it seems to slightly ease my tension headaches but for some reason, everytime I take just one, I get severe pain in my spine. Has anyone had this happen to them or heard of such a thing? ## Danielle, I live in Ft Worth, Tx. My brother-in-law just started taking fiorinal along with other meds such as nexium.

Stiff neck and bad headache above right eye

52 year old male. Never diagnosed with Covid. For a week I've been extremely fatigued in the morning accompanied with terrible pain, stiffness, and the worst headache pain I've ever had above my right eye. Extremely fatigued until the pain lessens. Happens twice at about 2 am and 10 am, lasts about an hour then slowly the pain is gone. But these actions repeated the following day at 3pm and 6pm. Fine now on the third day. Any ideas? Sound familiar? ## What you are describing sounds very much like a cluster headache. I would certainly go in for a check-up. "Cluster headaches, which occur in cyclical patterns or cluster periods, are one of the most painful types of headache. A cluster headache commonly awakens you in the middle of the night with intense pain in or around one e...

Need Dr. in KY for Fioricet prescription

I live in the Richmond Ky area. Just moved here a few years ago and since I cannot get fioricet online anymore for my headaches and fibromyalgia pain, am having extreme trouble finding a dr willing to prescribe. Does anyone have a dr willing to prescribe it anywhere in the Lexington, Richmond or Irvine area? I have no life dealing with the pain without them. ## Hello, SuzyQ! How are you? Well, it does contain the barbiturate Butalbital, which has sometimes been abused, so this medication is usually only prescribed as a last resort, when other options have failed. Additionally, if you go to a doctor and ask for a specific medication, they are taught to see that as being drug seeking behavior, so they will always be very reluctant to prescribe it. This medication may cause side effects, s...
