Wow. I took Fiorinal w Codiene for several years 1-7 days/per month for mentral migraine. Then more. Then more. Then chronic daily migraine for 1-1/2 years.. that landed me in hospital (NE Center for Headache) for a week. That was the 90's. I was treated for the migraine but no one treated me for getting off Fioninal. Next 15 years Zomig did the trick. Then it and nothing else ine the world not only doesnt help, it backfires and pain shoot to highest level. I dont understand what is happening. I do understand your maker comment. A life with 24/7 pain.

Thank you for your heartfelt reply. I can't imagine you not being treated to get off the Fiorinal w codeine! That needs to be tapered slowly to avoid withdrawal! And if it was Fiorinal, and not Fioricet, then you were taking a LOT of aspirin. Did you experience any platelet or clotting problems?

So many of the medications have made my pain worse over the years--especially the CGRPs! They made my head feel like it was exploding w hot liquid lava! Agony!

Yet my neurologist thought I was exaggerating. Hardly...

You are in my thoughts because there are many of us living for years and years in chronic invisible pain. I understand. 😔👍🏼
