How Can Headaches Be Treated?

I had taken fiorcet (generic) for years and now it s not working. See neurologist and he prescribed ibuprofen which never worked on my headaches and topomax which didn t work. I m now on Neurontin which isn t working and getting desperate with my headaches. I really loved the fiorcet as I could take only when I had a headache not every day. Is there an alternative medicine?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a migraine.

I see through your query that you have used Fioricet which has been effective.

I would recommend trying Excedrin a migraine.

It is an FDA approved medication which is taken under prescription.

It has similar ingredients such as Fioricet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
