Hi Phylyss,

Fioricet contains butalbital, which is a barbiturate. Barbiturates are a type of depressant drug that causes relaxation and sleepiness. In relatively low doses, barbiturates and alcohol have very similar clinical syndromes of intoxication. Barbiturates have the potential for dependence. You can read more about barbiturates HERE.

Does that help?

Nancy
