Does fiorinal with codeine give you the high feeling like vicodin?

[Kim and Jim]

I have just the regular fiorinal but am going to ask my Dr for the kind with codeine for my migrains. I know codeine is considered a narcotic but I've taken 222 pills and never felt "HIGH" does fiorinal with codeine make you high? And if not why is it a narcotic?

Fiorinal is basically aspirin with butalbiral & caffeine. Butalbital is in a class of drugs called barbiturates that slow down your central nervous system (brain and nerve impulses) and cause relaxation. Clearly what you are doing is overdosage with the drug. Symptoms of an overdose of Fiorinal with Codeine are mainly attributed to its barbiturate and codeine ingredients.

Symptoms attributed to the barbiturate ingredient of Fiorinal with Codeine may include: Coma, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, low blood pressure, shock, slow or troubled breathing.

Symptoms attributed to the codeine ingredient of Fiorinal with Codeine may include: Convulsions, loss of consciousness, pinpoint pupils, troubled and slowed breathing

Symptoms attributed to the aspirin ingredient of Fiorinal with Codeine may include: Abdominal pain, deep, rapid breathing, delirium, high fever, restlessness, ringing in the ears, seizures, vomiting

Though caffeine poisoning occurs only at very high doses, it can cause delirium, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, and tremor.
