Fioricet Side Effects

Is it safe to take phentermine for weight loss while taking fioricet for migranes?k ## HELLO??? IS ANYONE OUT THERE??? ## It's actually not advisable, because they some of the ingredients can basically counteract each other. For instance, the Butalbital in the Fioricet increase sedation, while the Phentermine is a stimulant, plus you'd also be adding in the Caffeine that's in the Fioricet and this type of combination just isn't good for your body and should only be used if your doctor has specifically told you that it's safe for you to take them together. Learn more Fioricet details here. Learn more Phentermine details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you! i have not taken them together and had not taken the phentermine in over a month but have ...

recently when I take my Fioricet w/ Cod I get REALLY drowsy. I never had this problem in the past. Could it be the fact that I am now Taking the generic version? ## I have same problem Take a nap in morning and need another in afternoon ## Yes, there can be difference in the amount of the active ingredients in the generics, as compared to the name brands. The fluctuations are slight and many people have no problems with them, but some people are sensitive to medications and experience new side effects. It should wear off in a few weeks, as your body adjusts to the medication, but if it doesn't, please contact your doctor. They may need to prescribe it for you as brand medically necessary to prevent such issues. Is there anything else I can help with?

round, blue with CL on top,then a score mark and 041 underneath the score. The bottle says manufactured by West ward but this is not printed on the pill. I have never encountered a pill without the manufacturer logo on it. ## From what we can discover, these tablets contain Acetaminophen, Butalbital and Caffeine, it is used to treat migraine and tension headaches. Side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. This is a generic for Fioricet and the CL is their logo. ## Do you have a picture that shows this, or where did you find the information that says its fioricet? ## Dawn, there are quite a few resources that enable us to identify prescription tablets. Under federal law they all must have unique imprints to enable their identification and databases are compil...

Does anyone have info. re: ordering from the internet for generic fioricet with imprint MIA 110?

Can you take adipex and fioricet together? what side effects would i have taking them at the same time? is it safe? ## Adipex contains Phentermine and the Fioricet contains Acetaminophen, Butalbital and Caffeine. There are no interactions listed, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. The main concern that I would have would be stomach irritation, so you may want to try taking them an hour or two apart, rather than at the exact same time. Another issue that you may run into is the fact that the Phentermine works like a stimulant, so that with the Caffeine in the Fioricet could cause some insomnia, jitteriness and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

My generic Fioricet pill has LCI on one side and 1695 on the other. It is round and blue. Is this a good generic Fioricet pill? The price has increased greatly!

I was on Hydrocone for my migraine/tension headaches for 3 years my dr decided to stop prescribing pain meds to her patients. Now I'm at a loss NJ Is really cracking down. My new GP referred me to a neorologist and I was thinking about asking him about Fiorcet not Hydrocone but how do I ask without sounding like a addict? ## Hello, Lola! How are you? Fioricet contains a barbiturate, not a narcotic. It contains Butalbital, Acetaminophen and Caffeine. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness. There should be no reason to worry about sounding like an addict. Just be honest about how bad they are and don't try to demand that he prescribed something. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take Fioricet with codeine for headaches. However, my doctor prescribed oxycodone 10mg for menstrual cramps. Can I take the oxycodone 4 hours after the Fioricet? ## Generally, it is best not to combine opiates, unless your doctor specifically has told you to do so. Was this doctor aware that you are already taking one? The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache.

How long does Fioricet remain in your system before being excreted? ## Hello, Sandra! How are you? Approximately 175 to 210 hours, which would be anywhere from 7 to 9 days.

Is the "v" placed a certain way on the tablet. If you turn it over should the v be sideways or straight? And what direction from the 2355 should it be? ## Hello, Sadie! How are you? No, there is no special way that it has to be. It may vary from one manufacturing facility to another, or from one batch to another. In theory, the V should be upright, but there is nothing requiring them to be that precise about it, so if anomalies occur, they can still ship those tablets.

Why does Fioricet make me throw up and feel loopy, but Norco 7.5mg does not make me feel that way? ## The ingredients are different, so that could explain it.
