What Causes Dizziness And Stomach Upset After Taking Fioricet With Codeine?

I suffer with migraines & recently was given Fioricet with codeine.. Extremely dizzy & full blown panic mode & upset tummy. Sucks suffering day in & out with this. For years I took Norco and never had problems. Wonder the break down of milograms? AloHa Do sorry I will ring the pharmacy, been calling doctor office since Friday & told to go to Emergency Room, any idea how horrible that is with a migraine?? Hawaii has the worse healthcare & to suffer for so many years knowing there are plenty of medications that would kick this makes situation SAD. Go home & suffer or go to drug dealer for relief because YOU do not matter, just a number to Bill for payment. So horrible I Went to dark web & Mexican pharmacies to try to get the meds that work for 24 years. AloHa

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



It looks like you have had a lot of Fioricet till now. Stomach upset & panic mode is due to an excess of Fioricet that has caused your system to react. Excess Fioricet (acetaminophen, caffeine, butalbital) causes liver damage, indigestion, stomach upsets, clay colored stool, dark urine & may complicate to confusions, light headedness & convulsions. Visit ER, get examined. Your medications needs to be stopped/altered & monitored. Keep yourself well fed & hydrated.



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

Regards,
