Fiorinol without Cod: The Codeine probably doesn't add a lot to the effectiveness. This med is responsible for a lot of rebound or transformed migraine development.

Not good: Highly addictive and common cause of rebound migraine headaches. Probably should be taken off the market since the potential for harm is much greater with this medication than the potential for obtaining a meaningful long term therapeutic benefit.

"like"?: Do you mean what does it feel like or what is it biochemically similar to? I'll presume you mean "feel like". Answer: that depends upon your biology, your illnesses, your other meds, your history, your experience with opiates. It contains an opiate, a sedative, a stimulant, and an anti-inflammatory medication. May or may not be effective. Is addicting. Frequently overused, as others note.
