Im not a Dr but sounds like too me too much aspirin. Five pills is a lot of aspirin(at least 200mg per pill)just my opinion.
Firstly, I am not a doctor but Fiorinal is not a treatment for sleeplessness. I'm unclear as to which Fiorinal you're taking. If it is Fiorinal C 1/2 grain, that would contain 30 mg Codeins but it also contains 325 mg of ASA. If this is what you took, you have consumed a massive dose of ASA and this would indeed explain the stomach troubles. Fiorinal should always be taken with food. You need medical advice. A simpler, over-the-counter assist for occasional sleeplessness is Benadryl.
