I was prescribed Butalbital/acetaminophen 50/300mg Tabs for tension headaches, and while they do provide relief, I'm alarmed by the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced issues with this medication? I've heard horror stories about Stevens-Johnson syndrome and other severe reactions. I'm considering switching to a different treatment but want to hear from others first. If you've had positive or negative experiences, please share your thoughts and any advice you might have.

I was recently prescribed But/aspirin/caffeine Cap 50-325-40 for tension headaches, but after reading the side effects, I'm a bit concerned. The combination of butalbital, aspirin, and caffeine sounds intense, and the list of possible side effects is pretty long. Has anyone else had issues with this medication? I've been feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous since I started taking it, and I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. Has anyone had a positive experience with this medication, or should I switch to something else?
