thank you for your response. I have already consulted a neurologist and spoke about the positive and negative effects of the drug. We have decided to do a trial run for 3 months and see how it works out. again, thanks for your help!

Hello JOYJOY123,
Anolor Oral combination medication is used to treat tension headaches. Acetaminophen helps to decrease the pain from the headache. Caffeine helps increase the effects of acetaminophen. Butalbital is a sedative that helps to decrease anxiety and cause sleepiness and relaxation.
This medication may cause dependence, especially if it has been used regularly for an extended time or if it has been used in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal reactions e.g., nausea,vomiting, mental,mood changes, seizures may occur if you suddenly stop this drug.

You should consult your neurologist  regarding these side effects,before taking the drug.
