Butal Acet Caff 50 325 40 Side Effects

I have bad migraines maybe twice a week and I just had major back surgery and I also have a script for hydrocodone.....I'm not sure but I feel like I'm dragging myself around. ...I want to sleep and I feel exhausted....I know my migraine can make me tired but this is way more than normal.....is it the side effects of the 2 meds? ## Hello, Lindsey! How are you? It is most likely due to the Hydrocodone, since it is a narcotic and is well known to cause those types of side effects. It also carries the risk of being habit forming and as listed by the FDA may cause other side effects, including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache and constipation. It would be best to consult your doctor to be sure, though. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am having surgery on my nose and need to know if this medication thins your blood? ## Hello, Jef! How are you? The Acetaminophen in this can cause some blood thinning, but not as much as NSAIDs. I'd suggest checking with your surgeon to see if you need to stop taking it. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, nervousness and insomnia. Did they give a specific list of what not to take? ## Jeff, Hope all went well with surgery, my husband has had a runy nose for about 1 year to 18 months what was your reason for surgery

I have been prescribed this for cluster headaches. I am also a heart patient. This does not seem to do the trick for breaking the cycle. What would u recommend? ## Hello, Mike! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. What medications do you take for your heart condition? Some of them can cause headaches as side effects, as reported by the FDA. So it could be that one of them needs to be adjusted or changed, rather than trying something to treat the headaches. Many of them can also cause dehydration, which can worsen the problem.

My endodontist prescribed this for pain after doing a root canal. Will this be of help under these circumstances? ## Hello, Ronnie! How are you?

How long does it take for the pain from a bad migraine to go away? I've been taking the pills for 3 days and I still have my bad migraine. ## Hello, Char! How are you? I am so sorry about the migraine. It should have helped by now, if it was going to do so. As detailed by the NIH, these types of medication usually start to work within 15 to 20 minutes of taking them, so relief should be felt soon after. It might be time to explore other migraine relief options, such as different medications. Dilaudid is often used by hospital ERs to treat them. Have you ever tried it? It's an idea you can discuss with your doctor, anyway. The FDA does warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. ## Char, ...

My Nurse Practitioner wants me to take Lyrica 75mg. every day for pain. Looked up the side effects & am very apprehensive about this drug. Is anyone on here familiar w/ this drug? I find 2 extra strength Ecotrin helps just as much & has far less side effects. ## As I said, I am very apprehensive about taking this drug. If Ecotrin does the job why should I take another prescription drug that worries me? ## Well, in reality the ultimate choice is up to you, so it you don't want to take it, because you aren't comfortable with the risks, no one can make you. Ecotrin just contains Aspirin, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so if it works, then there is no reason to switch to something else. However, you do have to be careful how much of it you are taking in a day. Le...

I have been prescribed both and feel like the klonopin isnt working well when I take them together. ## Hello, Monkey mom! How are you? The caffeine is probably affecting how well the Klonopin works, since it's essentially a stimulant and the benzodiazepine is a downer. Have you tried taking them separated by a few hours? That might work better, if your doctor approves. The Typical side effects to Butalbital, Acetaminophen and Caffeine, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation and insomnia. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

I have been on Oxycodone/Acetaminophen 10-325MG, taking 4 daily for about a year for back problems. Recently I ran out for a couple of days and have been feeling like I am going through detox. My doctor has been out of office until tomorrow. My wife has a script of Butalbital/Acetaminophen/Caffeine/Codeine 50-300-40-30. Could I take one of these to take the edge off until tomorrow? ## The closest ingredient related is the Codeine, but it is much weaker than Oxycodone, it is a very mild opiate. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Withdrawal symptoms can be normal, if you run out of such a medication early. In the future, if possible, it would be best to schedule doctor...
