Migraine / Tension Headache Forums (Page 7)

I'm trying to find out what this pill is . Does anyone know its rather large and it is pale yellow or off white with a capital L on one side and capital R On the other . Please help ## I haven't been able to find a listing that identifies this tablet, so far. That leads me to suspect that it's most likely something that's available over the counter. Where did you find it? Some products are regional, so that may help to narrow it down. Does anyone else' recognize this tablet? I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. ## Someone have it to my husband because he had a horrible migraine and so he took it and it completely knocked him out .... If they give that to people over the counter there is something wrong with that... He was even slurrin...

A yellow and blue capsule with CP in red on the blue portion and 279 in red on the yellow portion of the capsule. ## I believe this a generic brand med used headaches and migraines. Fiorinal with codeine. Also known as ascomp with codeine ## Ascomp is the worst! In my area that is all the pharmacies were dispensing and so I was forced to take that. I finally found a pharmacy that has Lannet Brand, Fiorinal and Codeine. It is generic but it is the best. It is a yellow and blue capsule.

Is it possible for pharmacist to provide powdered Rx if tablets no longer manufactured? Some of the old time pharmacists still concoct some Rx, although I'm only familiar with them doing cremes. The capsules are useless, as is Fioricet, and I've taken tablets for 25 years. I have even tried Fioricet along with additional aspirin, but no relief. Is there any recourse to get these tablets manufactured in labs again? Tried many things with no relief. ## Hello, Darlene! How are you? Yes, this can be done by compounding pharmacies. Basically, they keep powdered forms of drugs on hand and put them into capsules, as per the dosage your doctor orders. This can still be done for almost any medication, as long as it hasn't been pulled from the market due to health dangers. Is there an...

Back pain ## It is used for Migraines. ## I recently took myospaz tablets to relieve migranes (doctor's prescription). Two days into the prescription, I went for a party and took almost half a bottle of Claymore whisky. (Though I usually take more) I am made to understand that I caused a lot of havoc. I beat people up, got thrown out of the bar, almost crashed my car and I have a never ending headache since then though I have stayed off alcohol for the past three days since that fateful day. How does taking myospaz and alcohol affect someone like me. I am 43 years old - male (my BMI is normal) ## Is there medicine which can stimulate a person who has recovered from a stroke to start walking or regain walking? Can myospaz help?

Meant to treat migraine, small light yellow tablet. it contains 1mg of Ergotamine Tartrate and 100mg of caffeine ## Appreciate you to provide information on Caffox Tablet such as How do I take Caffox Tablet? Side effects of Caffox Tablet & risk of taking Caffox Tablet. ## The combination of these two substances, though sold under various names in different countries, are simply vasoconstrictors used to help relieve or prevent migraine or severe tension headaches. As to the side effects, for the caffeine, they would be similar to those caused by any other caffeinated substance you use such as Colas, Tea, or Coffee. You can develop the shakes, temporary tremors, rapid breathing and heart rate and an energy burst that can result in a crash when it wears off. Substances containing Ergot...

Ive been on depakote 125mg for a week. Ive had what feels like a severe panic attack for almost that whole week. I was just wondering, ive only been on it a week would it be ok to just stop, because i cant function like this. Its awful, and i never had this problem before taking this drug. ## Hello, Lindsay! How are you? Anxiety can be a side effect of Depakote and most other similar medications. You may also experience dizziness, blurry vision, dry mouth and indigestion. However, these side effects usually start to taper off after about 3 to 4 weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. Have you consulted your doctor? They might be able to prescribe something temporarily to help with the anxiety. ## I have been taking divalproex sod er, twice a day 250mg, for 4 weeks. And I noti...

Why is a medication my doctor gave me to "lower my peak (i can't remember the medical term), causing me more anxiety and panic? Low dose 125 mg Depakote seems to be making my Xanax .5 mg 3 times a day, ineffective as well. So now I have double the anxiety and jittery feelings. He also said to sprinkle some of the capsule on a teaspoon of yogurt or pudding, applesauce, instead of ingesting it. Anyone else been told to do this? He is on vacation of course, and I am thinking of just stopping this medication after 2 weeks. With the high level side effects (he didn't even bother to ask me if I plan to become pregnant) I don't think this is worth the risk if it's not helping me. ## I'm sorry, but it is difficult to answer you, without knowing what condition is being tr...

I need to know how long 50 mgs of sumatriptan stays in your system? I have some old one's from a prescription that I had a long time ago and my head was hurting really bad, and I'm afraid that my work may drug test me at anytime, cause that is how they do things. ## This is not a medication that is tested for on standard drug tests, there should also not be an issue, since it has been prescribed for you. Typical drug tests that are approved by the FDA, only test for controlled, or illegal substances, such as narcotic, and benzodiazepines. Is there anything else I can help with?

One of my pills has an M on the back with 54; and the other one has C on one side and 32. Both pills are white and round with the C 32 supposed to be a 25mg dosage. Can you tell me what these pills are? ## The tablet with the C 32 on it is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list it as containing 25mgs of Sumatriptan, which is most commonly used to treat and prevent migraines. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and drowsiness. However, I have been unable to find anything on the other one. Can you please double check the imprint and post back? Thank you!

I have been taking 1250 mg of Depakote for about a month and a half. I was fine the few three weeks or so, but now it seems like I am getting cranky, angry and upset very easily for the last two weeks. My psychiatrist just had me take a blood sample to see if she wants to raise my dose as I can't seem to get through the whole day without crying at times. Tonight my boyfriend asked me if I was feeling confused and told me I was being nasty and upset lately. Well, I broke down in tears, natural response for me when this happens. And now he doesn't want to talk to me. I am very hurt and am calling my psychiatrist Monday morning as soon as hr office opens. By the way, she is treating me for mood disorders, not bi polar disorder. Do you think I am on the right meds, and how can I sto...

WILL FIORICET AND KLONOPIN MIXED TOGETHER SHOW UP AS AMPHETAMINE. I JUST NEED TO KNOW CAUSE I FAILED A DRUG TEST FOR THIS AFTER TAKING THEM TOGETHER. ## From what I could gather, Klonopin may test positive for Benzodiazepines and Fioricet may test positive for Barbiturates, but I haven't come across any specific details stating that they can show up as Amphetamines when taken together. However, on the cheaper, less reliable tests, it seems as though anything is possible. False positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. I am aware that there is specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, which has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. This type of testing is not initially performed because of cost, ...

I was told necon is no longer available and was given nortel and that they are the exact same thing. Is this true? I have GI problems and migraines so a lot of things upset these. I'm wanting to make sure this is the same. ## They contain the same active ingredients, but the inactive ingredients may differ. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight changes, fluid retention, and PMS-like symptoms. Have you started it, yet? If so, how are you doing? Are you on any other medications?

Why does Fioricet make me throw up and feel loopy, but Norco 7.5mg does not make me feel that way? ## The ingredients are different, so that could explain it. The FDA lists Fioricet as including Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine, while Norco is is listed as containing Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. It is also warned that Norco carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Hello. I took 2 Excedrin Extra Strength tablets yesterday for pain in my neck, shoulder & arm from maybe sleeping wrong... I noticed I started feeling real nauseated & dizzy. So I went to lay down & that didn't work, so I ate dinner to see if it would stop, but no, it just got worst & I vomited everything. This morning I still feel the same & ate 1 bowl of cereal & still feel nauseated/tired, just like eewwwww.....What should I do? ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. IT can also cause headache, nervousness, and insomnia. Unfortunately, only time will allow it to improve, but if it continues for more than another day, or two, you should consult your doctor to be safe. has there been any change? How are you feeling,...

I have been taking morphine ER 15mg for 3 years and hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10-325. I've also suffered from migraines for about 20 years. I get about 12 migraines a month. In the last couple of months I have noticed an increase to 20 a month, so I stopped taking my meds for 5 days and they seem to be better. So should I talk to my doctor about this? ## Yes, that would be a good idea, I think. Most opiates carry the risk of causing side effects, including headaches, according to the FDA, as well as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. But any time you experience worsening headaches, or more frequent ones, you should have it checked out to be careful. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Morphine causes horrible headaches, that is the main cause for the migraines
