fioricet addition withdrawal

My wife stopped taking her fioricet about 2 days ago. She was taking 4 per day. She also takes Xanax 4 per day and ambien 2 per day. She also suffers from depression and takes meds for that as well. I am concerned that she is having a reaction to stopping the fioricet. She has nausea, vomiting at times, a loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping and has lost weight. Can someone give me some help in handling her withdrawal?

DId she stop taking the xanax as well??  I am not sure about the ambiem, but the other two should not be stopped c/t...They should be tapered off...All of those symtoms are of c/t withdrawal, and you can read alot here of what helps..Go to the heath pages..but again, this could be dangerous for her to c/t...

What other meds is she still taking?  and has she only stopped the fioricet?
good luck
