Substitute For Fioricet

2 Topics Found

My generic Fioricet, BUTAL/ APAP/CAFF 50/325/40 is not covered by my Medicare Part B. A couple of months ago it SKYROCKETED from a $25-35 for 100 to over $70!!! Pharmacist said they raised price "because they could"!!! My Social Security is so low ( and my ONLY source of income), that increase devastates my monthly budget! Dr.s have tried other meds over the last 30 yrs., however, NONE have worked as well as this. I suffer from chronic migraines & this usually gets rid of it but also treats the pain if headache breaks thru anyway. Please, can anyone help? ## Hello, Anne! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you tried any of the prescription drug discount cards? There is a link to one that can be found towards the right on most pages ...

NEED ADVICE. I am very tired all day as well. Please write back. ## I AM NOT A DOCTOR. This is my experience. Pain doctor prescribed Fioricet for my horrible headaches after car accident. I had terrible rebound headaches I knew were being caused by daily use of Fioricet (no codeine). I was taking from 1-3 pills per day, for 4 months. I cut it down to one pill in the morning the first day, and substituted ONE Excedrin Migraine for the evening dose(s). To my surprise, one Excedrin Migraine took away headache. I have had no withdrawal symptoms from the butalbital. My max dosage per day was 150...
