Brief Answer:
Can be habit forming.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think she may need to take fioricet because it can be necessary for her for the headache.
It contains butalbital which can be habit forming and also it can damage the liver functions if used in large amount.
