For Migraine "The pharmacist recommended to try this new drug as it would be more efficient then the one I was already using. I tried it last weekend and it did NOTHING, the headache didn't lower and the nausea didn't go away neither."

For Migraine "I have tried all aspirin that are suppose to work on migraines. The only one that has worked (for me) has been Excedrin Migraine. They work great, as long as the instructions are followed. I've noticed most people don't including my wife. She suffers migraines once in a while, maybe 3 a year."

For Migraine "Followed instructions on the bottle and the pill caused me to have panic attacks to the point of I was hyperventilating and wanting to pass out. Had to be taken to the hospital so they can give me a injection to counteract the excedrin. I threw away the pills and I do not recommend. Also did not help with the migraines."

For Migraine "Excederin migraine is a lifesaver. I HAVE to have it in my medicine cabinet now after discovering it about 9 months ago. I get DEBILITATING migraines. I can’t move, I can’t talk, I throw up like crazy. I just don’t know what to do. My mom went and got me this and it was seriously the only thing that relieved my migraine and continues to be!"

For Migraine "My fiancé swears by this stuff for his migraines but I’ve tried taking excedrin twice now for my headaches and both times I’ve literally felt like I was dying. Shortness of breath, numbness in my body, cold sweats, nausea and chest pains. I don’t know what causes this but it’s literally the worst feeling and lasts for hours and hours."

For Migraine "I'm actually 18 and I get migraines all the time. I loved it when I first started using it because it'll work in like 10 minutes. I'm weird because I'd get a dizzy feeling when I first took it but it wasn't bad. Now lately it hasn't been doing anything. I was really looking forward to taking Excedrin every time I had pain but I'll still continue using it to see if there still will be any progress. Huh, I actually started thinking my migraines are just too strong for excedrin.."

For Migraine "I've had migranes for over 22 years. Since I was a kid I remember going through all the pains mentioned above. Nausea, Vomit and the having to be in a dark room to let your eyes rest and MAYBE it would help a bit. Then came Excedrin Migrane. Amaaaaazing! I usually have to pop 2 pills for it to help."

For Migraine "So far, this seems to be the only thing that will kill a migraine for me. It can take about an hour or two to show it's full effect and isn't an instant fix. But if I take it when I feel the migraine coming on, it's helps a lot. Definitely a good over-the-counter remedy. I do wish there was a pregnancy safe version of this medication, though."

For Migraine "Been getting migraines a lot more frequently lately. The last one I had I ended up in the E.R. The prescription they sent me home with (ket.. something I think..ketarol?? Idk but) whatever it was didn't work! Yesterday another migraine set in. I spent last night in the tub in the dark, soaking my throbbing neck & shoulders in hot water & allowing the water to ease my nausea ( as I always do with my endometriosis ). I had my husband get me some coffee (for the caffeine), some chicken soup (to get something in my stomach to help with the nausea) and an ice pack for my head. I also took the last pain pill I had from the E.R. The pain subsided some but not for long. This afternoon I BEGGED my husband to get me some excedrin migraine because I looked up online what to take and that was the first thing that popped up, along w some more coffee. I took 2 of the excedrin 30-40 mins ago and the stabbing in my left temple is gone. I still have a bit of a headache, but nothing I can't handle!"

For Migraine "I was looking for somewhere I could leave a review about excedrin migraine because that's how amazing it is. I had a throbbing and painful migraine for 2 days that was causing neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. I thought it was a sinus headache but it was horrible and after taking ibuprofen like crazy it would not go away. It was so bad I could barely get out of bed and I wasn't even hungry, instead I felt physically sick. I did not understand the severity of migraines until I started getting them myself. My dad went out and bought me excedrin migraine at my request after googling how to stop the pain. I took it and within 10-15 minutes my migraine had subsided. I could move and bend without my head throbbing. This was an about 40 mins ago. I still have some neck, shoulder, and back pain and my head still feels a lil groggy but I am so much better and no longer debilitated and nauseous. This is some powerful stuff!"

For Migraine "This medication takes the pain away but the last time I took it I had terrible anxiety. I felt nauseous and shaky and nothing would take the feeling away. I had to deal with it for a while and it felt horrible. I usually take half of one pill but last time I took a whole."

For Migraine "I started using Excedrin Migraine in my twenties for migraines. I'm now 62 and continue to use it. It's a MIRACLE drug for me. I do get stomach upset from it, so try to take it with food. Can't take it around bedtime because I could never sleep (caffeine is in it). I take one pill. I took 2 once and the shakiness and anxiety were through the roof. I hope they never stop manufacturing this product."

For Migraine "I swear by this stuff. It has become a problem how well this actually works. I get headaches and migraines on a daily basis I think it was from a neck whiplash injury and I cannot find something that is safe enough to take as a long term daily that works like this, that also doesn't have side effects. This has been a life saver. If you know of an Rx that works like this without crazy neurological symptoms please let me know. I seriously have never had luck with an Rx for migraines."

For Migraine "I was reading these reviews and they were exceptionally helpful for me so I thought I would share my experience. I’ve been dealing with migraines for a few weeks now and I just wanted to say that taking two of these absolutely worked for me. I did notice an increase in anxiety but after a few hours this went away, and the meds definitely helped quell the pain of the migraine. I would say they pretty much took the pain entirely away."

For Migraine "I have always used Excedrin migraine to get rid of my headaches for years. Then all of a sudden it was pulled off the market I would find an occasional bottle usually at a Dollar store and when I did it was like finding gold. Then nothing. But just the other day I found a horde of the product at a Family Dollar store. I took two yesterday afternoon for my head ache then went out later and ate a mushroom burger and got deathly ill from food poisoning. I vomited all night and thought it may had been from taking the Excedrin but that was not it. It is now several hours later after a terrible night and my head was killing me. I read where several people had taken only one pill and it helped. Now that I found the horde of 35 boxes of Excedrin I am not worried about running out. This is the only medication that works for me. I got a concussion 28 years ago and none of the high power drugs worked until I found Excedrin Migraine. How come nothing else works for me?"

For Migraine "Excedrin has always worked for me, but lately its been giving me stomach pain and causing me to get light headed. The pain it causes is not worth it, especially if you have anxiety."

For Migraine "It works very well for an OTC. Not to be insensitive, but truthfully all the people who say the side effects make it not worth it most likely don't know what a true "migraine" is."

For Migraine "I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and this was the only thing that worked for me on a daily base. Not even the medications that the doctor prescribed to me helped one bit! "

For Migraine "It does nothing for my migraines. Even when I first feel one coming on. Excedrin has little to no impact for me. If anything I feel worse because it irritates my stomach (even if taken with food)."

For Migraine "This is a great alternative to the costly prescription medicines. As long as the medication is taken right at the onset I have great outcomes."
