Best to you and your wife
To TrayCee and All:
Fioricet contains Butalbital - a heavy-duty, highly addictive Barbiturate, Caffeine, Tylenol and is available W/ and W/out Codeine. FIORINAL is the same but has ASPIRIN instead of Tylenol. This drug is a TRIPLE-THREAT in that it has not just one, but THREE highly addicting substances (if u include Codeine)... The Barbiturate, Codeine and the Caffeine (tho that's not life-threatening).
I'm so sorry your wife is struggling with this ... AWARENESS MUST BE RAISED about this crazyily addictive drug! Users including ME have been flying under the radar for years when it comes to using / abusing this substance. It's only classified as a Sched III drug!
I'll keep your wife and you in my prayers!! PLEASE keep updating on her progress!
Any word on your wife's treatment status? As I just wrote to "flob" whom I refer to as the King of Fioricet -- Fiorinal, Butalbital, etc. We HAVE to raise AWARENESS about this insanely addictive drug! PLEASE keep posting.
Thanks so much -- you and your wife continue to be in my prayers...
For some people an abrupt withdrawl can cause extreme mental suffering and even seizures but it depends on the drug and can vary from person to person. In rehab/detox the doctors are experts and can help for a safe withdrawal. NHS should fund the treatment.
