Fioricet
I have been taking fioricet off and on since the beginning of Feb. The last 6 weeks it has been more on. The max a day has been 4 with the exception of three times it was 8. I tried to cut them out and I am sick. I went to a doc and he prescribed Ativan .05 every 6 hours and take 1 fioricet every 24 hours. Is this safe? Will the Ativan calm my butt down and help me not to have seizures. I need help and since I don't trust docs, I would like people with experience to give me input. I am all I have and cannot afford to lose my job. Can you tell me what to expect when I quit taking them.
Be prepared for the rebound headaches. They can be BRUTAL. Good luck and please let us know how you're doing.
Sorry, i read your post too quickly and mixed up the details. If you're under the care of a physician, then I agree with vicki; this does make sense.
Good luck honey!
Good luck honey!
Hi there- Yes, it makes sense to me. It's actually smart in a way...The Ativan will cover those receptors that are missing the barbiturate levels and the one Fioricet will cover you from the abrupt drop in caffeine and Tylenol. You won't have a seizure doing this.
Often, a physician will prescribe a benzo so it's not unheard of. Let us know how you are. I know it's difficult. I went down the road with that junk and I'm happy to be over it! If at any point you don't feel well just give the doctor a call. You should feel okay though- All the best!

As I stated in my post. I have seen a physician. Does what he prescribed make sence?
You are taking barbituates. This is a very old drug class, and dangerous to withdraw from without medical supervision.
No one can guarantee that anything you are taking will stop you from having seizures, or even worse.
We are not doctors and cannot possibly tell you that you're going to be okay after abusing barbs. Its your LIFE honey...I know you don't like docs, but you have gotten yourself into a bit of a pickle here...you need to see a physician about this.
