Calling the Pharacy or the Doctor's on call line right away for the number of pills and how often is the best way to handle the dosage. While I have taken Fioricet for years what I'm suppose to take vs what your doctor want you to take could be two very different things!! And you want to take the correct amount.
Take care Linda and I hope you are feeling better soon. The Fioricet will probably put you to sleep.

Linda,
Did you reach your doctor or pharmacist. The instructions I've been given on Fioricet were every four hours as needed, but you need to check with your own doctor on this. Beyond that, Fioricet shouldn't be taken more than two or three days a week because of the potential for rebound headaches.
I have a question. Have you ever taken any of the Migraine abortive medications such as the triptans -- Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, Amerge, Relpax, Axert, or Frova?
