If you have high blood pressure, there are some bp meds that also work well for headaches as well, so you could kill two birds with one stone. Such as a beta blocker (ends in olol). I am also on fiorinal....which is very similar to fioricet, except it is aspirin instead of acetaminophen. I usually take the fiorinal with tylenol (so its the aspirin/tylenol) mix that mark was talking about. I dont notice any type of sedative effective from the butalbital and the small amount of caffeine in the med doesnt seem to bother me at all. Hoping you find relief from your pain soon.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
