Normally a Butalbital is used for Tension Headaches and used properly can stop a Migrane before it starts if you get the Auroa before a headache and take the Butalbital as soon as you sense you are getting the migrane it will help. Fiorcet is good place to start if you want more information on this drug.

Is butalbital water soluble?

Butalbital (5-allyl-5-isobutylbarbituric acid) is very slightly soluble in water at room temperature. It becomes moderately more soluble in boiling water. FYI, some people try to extract butalbital from Fioricet and other medications containing acetaminophen using water and filtration the same way opiates can be separated. This will not work with butalbital because it has approximately the same solubility in water as acetaminophen.
