Need medical help: You will need to reduce the dose slowly and at the same time initiated some other non addictive preventive treatment for migraine such as topiramate or topamax or a beta blocker with the use of a triptan such as Imitrex (sumatriptan) for acute attacks. You may need something for anxiety as you withdraw from the barbituric component of fioricet.

Difficult: Unfortunately, that medication contains a barbiturate and a narcotic analgesic both of which have addictive potential. If you are having problems with its use, i would urge you to talk to your doctor. You may need to enter a structured addiction program to safely stop its use. If you are taking it for headache you will need another treatment for that problem. Good luck.
