Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I’ve had a really bad headache for over 3 weeks. I’ve been to the ER & CT scan that didn’t show anything. They gave me an IV with medication for it of Reglan, Tramadol & something else that I’m not sure of. It helped some but not completely. I followed up with my Internal medicine Dr & she prescribed Fioricet Acetaminophen & Reglan to be taken 3 times a day. I have 3 herniated discs in my neck & lower back so I’m under the care of a pain management Dr so I don’t like taking anything that has narcotics because I already take enough. My headache is pretty intense across my forehead & the top of my head. My neck is stiff & hurts on both sides. I’m not running a fever. I keep having dizzy spells even when I’m sitting down. My thinking is somewhat fuzzy/spacey. I think the Fioricet has made it worse.
Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fioricet is used to treat tension headaches that are caused by muscle contractions. The main ingredient of fioricet is acetominophen. I dont think that this medication can cause or aggravate the headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
