Headache medications

Kristin
So I started having this shooting pain through the left side of my head. Better described as "ice pick headaches". It happened for about 4 days and I just couldn't take it anymore and called my dr. Well I wake up this morning and the shooting pains are gone and now it's just constant migraine no more shooting pains. They called me in a rx for fioricet, not sure about the spelling, but is anyone else on this?
