Fioricet Forums (Page 5)

i am trying to find the brand name fioricet, pleases help! as the generics do not work. ## Hello, Tess! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. What dosage are you looking for? Some of them have been discontinued and are no longer available. Otherwise, if it's one that can still be found, did you try asking your pharmacy to order it in for you? ## I have the same experience with generic Fioricet - it does NOT work! We can't be the ONLY ones to notice that the Emperor is wearing no clothes. I wish this issue could be properly addressed. But it appears that few are affected? and sales flourish, so there's not much hope. My pharmacy refuses to carry brand name Fioricet so I must purchase it out of town. Wishing you good luck!

Cannot locate any pharmacy who has the brand name Fioricet. This past month, I have been using a generic brand manufactured by Qualitest. This medication has been awful; so bad that I believe it has caused my headaches to become more intense/frequent. I have located one pharmacy several miles from my home that does have the generic brand Fioricet manufactured by Watson. What is going on with the brand name of Fioricet? Has there been a recall or...? I take this medication on a daily basis (I have MS and suffer from severe/migraine headaches.) I understand that Watson Pharmaceuticals is now Actavis; however, why would they discontinue manufacturing the brand name of a medication? ## Hello, Rae! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. According to the inf...

Have I got a generic Fioricet? They are blue, round, tablets with CL 041 on it. I have never seen this before, is this Fioricet? I am afraid it's the wrong med. Has anyone else seen this? ## Yes, 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. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## yes I have seen the blue fiorcerts before . They gave them to my son when he got covered up in the coal mines for migrain headaches. they are very good. ## I recently got a generic fioricet with the imprint on one side as LCI and the other 1695. Is this a REAL GENERIC form of Fioricet? I am not sure to take it. The color is a light blue.

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. Learn more Fioricet details here.* Is there anything else I can help with? *This medication has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Thank you so much! I feel better knowing that information! I check all medications just...

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 ...

I received a pkg of round yellow (dime-size) pills with MICRO imprint on one side and the other side is scored in half. Can someone tell me what these really are? the pharm ppl wrote on the plastic container a version of the word Fioricet but they spelled it Firosest (which I know does not exist). Please help or I am out over $345 for this shipment. thanks in advance ## Hello, I'm having a hard time locating an exact match to your pill, however I did find information about a pharmaceutical company by the name of "Micro Labs Limited". Based on their name and your pill imprint, it is possible that your pill was manufactured by this company, since they are also based out of India. The manufacturer's contact info is: MICRO LABS LIMITED 27, RACE COURSE ROAD, BANGALORE-560 001...

What does each fioricet pill currently look like, mine is very different the refill. ## Hi, Lady! How are you? Are there any markings on them? What is the shape and color? Since Fioricet is available as a name brand and a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies and they can all look different and are required to have different markings. Thus, it's difficult to scroll through pages of pill images and try to tell you what they all look like. However, if you can post back with the requested details, I can search via the imprint and description to see if it is a Fioricet tablet. Learn more Fioricet details here.

headaches ## are these narcotic ## are Fioricet 50-325-40 a narcotic ## I am wondering t he same thing have you found out yet ## There are 2 different variations of Fioricet that are available. The one asked about here that only lists the dosage of 3 medications does not contain a narcotic, it only contains Acetaminophen, Butalbital and Caffeine. Learn more Fioricet details here. The other is noted as being Fioricet with Codeine, it would list 4 dosage amounts, so it just adds the Codeine to the ingredients I've already listed. Learn more Codeine details here. Your prescription, or the bottle and monograph from the pharmacy should list exactly what it is that you have been prescribed. Are there any other questions? Anything else I can help with?

I was just prescribed this medication, but I cannot swallow pills, can I crush it and then take it? ## Yes, there is no time released formulation from what I can find listed, so it should be fine to do so, unless there are some specific instructions on the prescription, or from your doctor directing you not to do so. Learn more Fioricet details here. However, have you made your doctor and pharmacist aware of your problem swallowing pills? This medication is available in a liquid form, as well as a capsule, either of which would be easier for you to take. ## could this medicine while.taking othet.medication

small round white pill has 25 on one side and top on otherside ## To clear up any future confusion, this is not a Fioricet tablet. The tablet with the TOP 25 is a 25mg Topamax tablet, it is an anticonvulsant that's also used to treat migraines and to aid in weight loss. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and diarrhea. You can learn more Topamax details here. Are there any comments or questions?

I ordered from them and it took a total of 9 days. Once the order was approved by the doctors it took 7 days. The email said they would submit email with shipping and tracking. USPS showed and wanted the money. The driver said he will bring me back the change but who knows. The company phone number only takes messages, never returns calls. Live chat does not work. Contacting them through your account results in NO FEED back. I tried tracking order and thought it was fraud and the order was not going to ship. Not having a phone that works, live chat or email responses raises concern. USE CAUTION IF YOU ORDER FROM THEM. ## did you find another online source to buy from?? I have been out of my fioricet since december and have not been able to find any online pharmacies. The doctors where I...

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 taking Fioricet for many years and when my longtime Dr. moved away, I was left trying to find another dr. who would keep my fioricet Rx intact and ordered for me. Did not happen for me. Docs just ushered me to door with nothing, like I did not matter. So I found fioricet online and began ordering on a regular basis to keep symptoms of fibromyalgia, migraines and overall pain. I have been so productive and able to work and have a life because for once I had control over these symptoms of pain. Now I have been going thru horrible withdrawals and hurt worse than ever. I missed all the holiday events w/family/grandkids because I was hurting and withdrawing from fioricet, so I could not participate. Does anyone know if the online pharmacies are going to be back in business?? Does...

I need a new online pharmacy because the one I was using is no longer doing business. thanks

Is it possible for an imposter to make a pill that looks just like generic fioricet with the imprint West Ward 737 in a round blue pill? ## Yes, it's always possible for someone to create fakes, if they have the know-how and necessary equipment, but it isn't easy and not something that one could do at their kitchen tablet. They'd actually have to have access to a lab and pill pressing equipment. Learn more Fioricet details here. Do you have tablets that you suspect aren't real? ## OK - thanks. I guess my question is if I ordered from an online pharmacy and has the West-Ward 787 imprint, looks EXACTLY like what I get at my local pharma, is it possible that its still a fake (e.g. from a lab that produces fakes?) I dont know how these online pharmacies get their supplies.

BUT/APAP/CAF w/ CODEIN usually provides migraine relief, but too often with nausea, vomiting. Any recommendations to help w/ nausea/vomiting? ## Have you consulted your doctor? The Codeine is a narcotic and they are very well known for causing nausea and vomiting. It can sometimes be mitigated by making sure you don't take it on an empty stomach, but you should talk to your doctor to discover what would be the best solution for you to use.

i started using fioricet pills about 2 years ago when i fell down @ work and woke up in the ER with a councusion eversence than i get this headaches that drive me up the walls ## Are they still working for you, or are you having some problem with them? Since one of the active ingredients in them is Acetaminophen, there can be risks associated with long term use, which you should discuss with your doctor.
