For Migraine "I take one capsule for each migraine when I see the scintillating scotoma/aura coming on. It works so well for me. I just wind up with a slight headache after the aura has ended, which is completely tolerable. It works best if I take it at the first signs of the aura, before any migraine pain has started. I carry the medication with me always, just in case I may need it, which is fortunately only a few times a year. It is truly the right tool for the job. I do feel a little weird the next day after I've taken it, which I refer to as a 'headache hangover.' I'm slightly dizzy, my head feels 'hollow' for lack of a better word, and I'm just a little off. But I will take that side effect over a migraine anytime."

For Migraine "Fiorinal is a miracle when it comes to strong headaches and migraines. Nurofen Plus won't work for me on a migraine but take 2 Fiorinal, sleep it off and its gone."

For Headache "This medication works great for my tension headaches. I only need them once or twice a week; taking two relieves the headache or at least reduces it so much that it does not bother me."

For Headache "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't on my tension headaches. Seems to work better than Aspirin and Caffeine alone, but not by much."

For Migraine "For over 20 years, Fiorinal in the capsule form, has been very effective in stopping my migraines, as long as I take a capsule at the beginning onset of the migraine and not wait until it is a fullblown one. Taking Fiorinal doesn't cause me drowsiness or make me feel groggy. I am able to function normally soon after I take one capsule. Rarely does my migraine return after the medication has worn off. I find that Fiorinal works quickly in stopping my migraines, within 15 to 30 minutes after I have taken a capsule. I find that it is not as quick acting for me in tablet form."
