Butalbital/acetaminophen 50/300mg Tabs: My Experience and Concerns

I was prescribed Butalbital/acetaminophen 50/300mg Tabs for tension headaches, and while they do provide relief, I'm alarmed by the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced issues with this medication? I've heard horror stories about Stevens-Johnson syndrome and other severe reactions. I'm considering switching to a different treatment but want to hear from others first. If you've had positive or negative experiences, please share your thoughts and any advice you might have.

The potential for liver problems is insane. I've seen what that can do to someone firsthand, and it's not pretty. I'd highly recommend frequent liver function tests. Be careful with this one.

I've been on this for a few months and haven't had any issues. But I've heard the stuff about severe reactions can be scary. After reading this I'm gonna contact my doctor.

I had a weird reaction where I couldn't talk properly. It was like my tongue was swollen and my words weren't coming out right. I stopped taking it immediately and never looked back.

Be careful with this one, folks. I took it a few times and ended up feeling super disoriented and confused. It was like I was constantly drunk. Plus, I got a really bad rash on my arms. I had to stop using it.
