I've been dealing with chronic tension headaches for years, and my doctor recently prescribed me the new Fioricet/Cod 50-300-40-30mg CP. This medication is a combination of butalbital, acetaminophen, caffeine, and codeine. I'm curious to hear from others who have tried it. How effective has it been for you? Have you experienced any of the side effects listed, such as dizziness, stomach pain, or more serious issues like liver or kidney problems? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any long-term effects or interactions with other medications. Also, how does this compare to other treatments you've tried? I've tried a few other medications and therapies, but the results have been mixed. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
