Hello!

As I sit here writing this tears are streaming down my face. I hope someone can give me some info. I am 16 weeks pregnantand I have taken Fioricet maybe 4 or 5 times in the last few weeks. I totalled my vehicle and have been having some bad headaches due to stress. I am too scared to call my doctor and tell him. I have heard that the Fioricet can cause birth defects and brain tumors. Would taking this many in such a short time cause any harm? I know this is all my fault. :crying2:

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

I too am praying for you. When I was pregnant with my son 13 years ago, I took some Darvocet for a previous back injury. I was so very worried about my son, as you are about your child. I was at the point in pain that nothing over the counter worked. I could not function because I was in so much pain. My stress from the pain was causing my OB to worry about me going into premature labor or have problems with my blood pressure. I took the Darvocet only when I absolutely had to have it. My son was born healthy and full term. Please talk with your doctor so you can relieve your stress and worry. You are in my prayers and please let us know what the doctor says. Good luck!! :p

Well, I had my 4 month checkup yesterday, and everything is fine. I told my doctor about the Fioricet and he said not to worry...he actually prescribed another refill for me. So thank you to everyone who helped me to ease my mind some until I talked to my doctor.

Found this on a web site selling fioricet (no script needed, go figure!!!)

Oh, now that's scary. I know this has nothing to do with the original thread, but how do they get around DEA laws doing this?? Sounds highly illegal.

And these people are highly annoying because I get so much spam in my email box anyhow!! I got one today from someone selling these meds with "Hey sweety" in the subject line. I thought for sure it was my boyfriend. Now that's annoying to the nth degree!:angryfire

Hello. I suffered from migraines my whole life and honestly when I got pregnant, they got worse. I was put on Fioricet my entire pregnancy. I wasnt made aware that I couldnt take it every few days. They doctor said 2 times at the most in a month. I literally had headaches the whole 9 months. My son turned out great. He started to crawl at 4 months, walked at 9 months, and potty trained at 18 months. He can tell me the color of atleast 3 crayons. He turns 2 in MAY!!!

Just be cautious.
