migraine
"I've had severe cluster headaches with occasional dreadful migraines since I was in my 20s -- 50 years ago. It was very difficult to get approval for this medication, and I was always trying to juggle it with aspirin and stretch it out.  Seems like the situation here, at least, has greatly improved and my current primary dr. prescribes it for me.  I only take fiorinal when I feel a bad headache coming on, and it works.  (It does occasionally put me to sleep for about 15 minutes.)  The variety with codeine is too strong for me.  I can't take triptans because of cardiovascular issues.  I can't emphasize strongly enough how beneficial this medication has been in my life.  Moreover, aspirin never helped my headaches."
