Fiorinal Tablets (Page 3)

I have tried several drugstores for the fiorinal tablet and cannot find them. I have taken them for several years, the capsule is not effective and neither is the fiorcet. Where can I find the fiorinal (butalbital-Asa-caffeine tablets, 50-325-40)

Hi, I feel your pain as I also have not been able to find anything to assist my migraines like fiorinal. Why take something away when it has been useful too so many.
If I find anything I will post. Good luck regards Angela

Re: Angela (# 41)

Since this thread first started, moh or medication overuse headache is being used to make Migraine sufferers get off of prescription painkillers. I’ve read up on moh and even Extra-Strength Excedrin is being blamed. According to some articles, Triptans are now being overused and they are limiting them. For myself and my 43 years of taking Fiorinal...it worked quickly when in tablet form. Since going to timed release capsules, I need more of it to get migraine relief and my neurologist is prescribing less. I’m angry. If you do find the tablets please post where.
