Butalbital/APAP/caffeine-plus tabs verses zebutal capsules, in generic fiorcet? What are the differences?

I noticed I got a prescription for both. One is a red capsule that doesn't work very good, the other is a large white pill that goes off like a shotgun when I take one or two. They are both supposed to be generic fiorcet for migraines, I know they contain a barbitchate called bubatal. I have prescriptions from both from the same doctor, I just found that out after exashting the capsule for. Why would the doctor mess up and prescribe me both pills for three months? That gives me three months with the good white tablets that worth like a strong valium but for migraines? And why would the capsule for be so lame? Don't worry, I know to not take more than prescribed of the large white tablets. I was given 30 a month of them, but 60 a month of the inferior bright red capsules, and I still have plenty of them. Your ideas please? On top of this I have an endless supply of generic Xanax each month, and hydrocodone 5 mg, like 90 of them each month, and 120 Ultram a month. I am really pacing myself and take the least of each I can so I can funcition during my days. But take all the bare amount each day makes my back and head feel fine, and no pain in my back. I have doctors who seem to have no problem prescribing all of these. It's really odd, and I go to the same pharmacy, and use the same insurance. Each morning after about 30 minutes after I take my medication, I feel like Don Juan. lol

1. Your stomach and liver will not feel like a Don Juan after a long usage
2. although generic drugs might work as well as brand, they are not the same...there are still subtle formulation differences between the brand and the generic. possibly your doc wrote up two prescriptions in the event your insurance would not cover the brand script
