My GP has prescribed an old fashioned prescription he called it. Only 3 ingediants: Tylenol, Caffeine and Butalbital. It is called Fioricet. He suggested I try it before I meet with Neurologist for a trial. He thinks I have Severe tension headache. I have taken it 2 days and avoided the headache sometimes still uncomfortable. So far no side effects.

I will check that out. Thanks. I am talking with doctors this week.

I rarely have gotten headaches. I do not have allergies except to meds and some foods. Only migraine I had was after first spinal tap. I took a bus to appt and rode it home.

I used to get severe migraines, I started taking Topamax 200mg every night. When I would get the occasional one after that, I would take Promethazine 25mg 1x6 hrs as needed. That worked for me.

I take a 24 hour allergy pill every morning (Spring-Fall), nasal steroidal spray twice daily, and a Benadryl before bed for headache prevention. Rizatriptan tablet and nap with the curtains closed when it really bad.
