I took one Fioricet earlier for a headache my doctor just prescribed them for me a month ago. I'm a little nervous because I also take metoprolol succinate ER for tachycardia..I'm feeling a bit queasy and my doctor also prescribed promethazine for nausea with my migraines. After a bit of looking up these combos, I'm really nervous about taking them. Should I just take like a quarter of the promethazine or skip it and deal with it? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. I just signed up and I'm feeling rather shaky from the fioricet. Also, I don't know if its because I'm really nervous but after the fioricet I feel a bit out of breath(though, thats common for me since I have anxiety).

It's good to be interested in taking responsibility for your own health, but your doc will know if there are any undue risks and won't prescribe you anything dangerous. The reason you are worried about this is because people on Bluelight general abuse drugs and take them to the extreme which you are not doing.
Fioricet contains a barbituate, metoproplol is a betablocker, and promethazine is an antihistamine (which like most have some sedative qualities). That being said you are taking doses within the minimum recommended amount and a professional doctor has evaluated the combination and deemed it safe. Consuming this combo is the equivelent of taking a Gravol before going on a boat ride for seasickness and then having a few drinks. Nothing really to write home about.
If you are worried to the point where you can't function then it may be worthwhile to not take anything else until you speak to your doc (to avoid any undue stressing out about it), but don't let reading about the dangers of injecting huge amounts of opioids while tossing back martinis garnished with benzos hold you back from a treatment plan you and your doc decided on. In fact I would recommend avoiding Bluelight altogether unless you were planning on abusing the meds (or at the very least avoiding certain parts of it).
I don't use drugs and would feel completely safe taking the combination you mentioned. I would be happy to lie down and relax for a bit thanks to the barbituates, would fall asleep quickly thanks to the promethazine, and wouldn't suffer from any panic attacks thanks to the b-blockers.
A winning combination.

Thanks so much for your well put reply! I took only a quarter of the promethazine and It helped the jitters and nausea. I feel perfectly fine and not even drowsy. This place is helpful but not good for someone with panic and anxiety. Thanks again! Much love!

You might actually find TDS (The Dark Side) helpful even if you do have panic and/or anxiety. They have a big rule there where you can't say anything 'triggering'. This is usually to help those who suffer from any sort of compulsion from wanting to use by reading about it, but you could definitely extend it to a thread for advice which doesn't hinge on abuse and prohibits mention of such activities. Check it out if you are interested or PM the TDS mods for advice on where you might best be able to post to get help without getting undue stress.
Cheers!
