Fioricet Withdrawal

[pcmiller25]

I've been slow increasing my Fioricet dosage over the past year.  I was up to six a day over the past 2 months.  It will be 14 days ago tonight that I took my last dose.  I quit cold turkey.  The rebound headaches were horrible, but the anxiety is killing me.  It doesn't go away.  I feel it may have lessened some, but I'm having trouble with panic and my heart feels like it will beat out of my chest.  Please - if anyone can give me some encouragement that this will go away soon I would appreciate.  It's hard to live like this.

Fioricet/Fiorinal is a drug that must be tapered. Shame on your doctor!

Check your private messages. I answered your questions there.

You came off of your floricet really fast. Even though it’s been 14 days your still gonna feel withdrawls.  It’s no fun to feel like this and I feel for you.  Can you see a doctor for help? A doctor can prescribe comfort meds to help during this time.

My doctor upped my Zoloft by 50mg.  That's it.  How long should I expect this anxiety?

Everyone is different so I can’t say.  But anxiety and insomnia tend to be most common.  Can you go back to the doctor and tell him/her the troubles your having?
