I have been prescribed 20 of these (butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine 50-325-40mg) tablets, but our pharmacy was closed when we left the ER. I will be paying out of pocket to have this prescription filled. Does anyone know the average cost of this medication? Thanks.

These (butalbital / acetaminophen / caffeine / codeine phosphate pills) are white capsules. I have always taken the white pills, but when I looked this up it said zebutal and edging. Is this the same thing as what I have been taking?

I had tension headaches every day for over two years. I found that Xanax would absolutely kill the headache. .5mg Xanax, usually it would take 1.5 pills or .75mg to make the headache be GONE! Fioricet (butalbitol/caffeine/ APAP) will not do the job, it will help with migraines though. My doctor put me on clonazepam 1mg twice a day instead. They keep the headaches away most of the time but maybe twice a month or once for two or three days I'll still have to take the Xanax too. HOWEVER, and it is a BIG however... clonazepam is hell to get off of. It is harder to kick than opiates according to many. I tried to cut back. I dropped 1/4 pill or 12.5% for 11 days. Then another 12.5% for 15 days. The last three of the 15 days was absolute misery. My whole upper back hurt, both sides of my neck, and my head (the original headaches were one side, top of neck, sometimes down my neck into my shoulder, my temple (vein would stick out), and behind my eye, right side usually... even that slow of a titration rate was unworkable. If I try again it will be a 5% every two weeks. So, yes it works very well but getting off is really hard. Ultra low dose of some fungi will stop a lot of headaches and for a long time 1/2 to 1 gm dried, or ultra low dose of most tryptamines, if you can get them. Stay under the threshold dose and your headaches will be better or gone for long periods of time. I'm not suggested that you do anything illegal just saying that it works for many... for that matter medical MJ is great for headaches, pain, PTSD, and many other things.. oh and ADD or ADHD if you get sativa... Indica if you want to be mellow and sleep... if its legal where you are.

I was given butalb-acetamin-caff 50-300-40 2x daily for my awful headaches. At 1st it was a miracle then I started breaking out in large patches of hives, so I called in to my pain management doctor and they gave me tylenol-3 1x daily which does absolutely nothing. Does anyone know anything similar to the Butalb?

I have constant headaches that don't go away. I was recently given this drug to take 1 pill per day but it still does not relieve my pain. What or how much should I take to relieve my pain? I am 23 years old.

I am 49 years old, I have had 3 heart attacks, 5 stents, open heart and 5 bypasses. I have panic attacks. And I am on a lot of medication. The doctor gives me tramadol twice a day and butalbital/apap/caffeine four times a day but I only take it at bedtime. Is this ok or should I take it more often? I have headaches a lot but I don't want to sleep all the time. Thank you.
