Fiorinal

I and so many, many other sufferers of migraines are so weary of being told by doctors that we are taking too many Fiorinal and, even if we can go a week or two without taking any at all, we are probably addicted to them.  They are non-narcotic, right?  I suffer more from rebound headaches from Imitrex and Zomig than Fiorinal.  Most of us can't function without some sort of medication every day.  I know the doctors are also trying to cover their ***** but we get so tired of begging and putting on a dog and pony show just to get 30 or 60 tablets a month from them.  Nothing else works as well.  We have tried everything. Except Demerol or morphine  tablets which I KNOW we couldn't get unless we could PROVE that we were dying from the pain.
That's the problem.  No one DIES from migraines (except for suicide) so they are not taken seriously.
