> I used Fiorinal #3-a combo of codeine, butalbital, caffeine and aspirin.

Oh, of course! I got Fioricet (the acetaminophen-containing version) for back pain once. Butalbital (the barbiturate ingredient) is one of only a couple barbiturates that are still used much (phenobarbital is also sometimes used as an anticonvulsant).

I tried taking Fioricet more recently (again, for back pain), but I got *really* depressed, which definitely hadn't happened before. My pdoc thought it might have been an interaction with the desipramine I'm taking.

Did you ever try plain codeine, and if so, do you think that Fiorinal w/codeine was any more or less effective (for pain or for depression) than codeine by itself?
