"I have used Goody’s since I was 18. I get migraines so bad that if I didn’t take a goody before the migraine kicked in, then I have to set in the dark, deal with nausea, and most importantly miss time out with family. The migraines would get so bad that my head would be so sore. All of this was due to the depo shot. I tried a Goody powder and it was amazing that I could take one right when I felt one coming on and it would stop it. Now not even two will touch my migraines. The taste is bitter the package is not easily opened and not convenient at all. The other package they was in, were so easy to take and now you literally have to tap the pack to take it. They suck and I have been taking them for over 20 years now. I won’t be buying them anymore. Sincerely your unhappy ex customer, Lilbit."

"I have been a long user of Goody Headache powder. In my opinion it is the quickest and surest way to cure an annoying headache. I will say though, that I despise the new packaging. They are NOT more convientent in the least and impossible to get all the Goody out of. Horrible decision."

"The only stuff I use for migraines. If I catch a migraine within the first hour, this stuff works every time. Basically it’s like crushed up Excedrin but it is more effective for me. The only down side is the packaging. They need to redesign individual wrappings. It’s a white powder wrapped in a small paper wrapping with no text on it. I’m scared to carry one with me in fear of having to explain to the cops."

"I have chronic migraines, so this is something I tend to use a lot, and I love it. The one complaint I see is about the packaging, honestly, I love it. I don't see any problem with it. I'm trying to figure out how all these people are somehow getting the powder on their face, and the only logical explanation I can come up with is they ate holding the package about two feet above their open mouth? Honestly, if you can drink out of a bottle, then you can use the new packaging. It's literally super easy."
Are you taking this medicine?

"I have used Goody Powders for 15+ years for migraines. I had tried over 100 medications that did not work but goody powders did. With this new packaging, and I'm wondering if you didn't change the formula, I have to take 3 just to get rid of my migraine and get enough in my mouth! Its not easier, its not better! Until about a year ago I was lucky enough to find the old ones here and there but that ran out and now I have to use the new. Now I'm looking for something that will actually work since you screwed the pooch and changed the medicine."

"Works okay when nothing else is immediately available. Excedrin Migraine was no longer effective and I needed SOMETHING while at work and it helped."

"I have gotten an ocular migraine 5 times in my life. I haven't had one in 3 years but today out of the blue I got one and it was awful, it also had me vomitting and I took some ibuprofen but couldn't keep it down. My friend had left her goody powder at my house luckily and I decided to try to take that, it tastes awful but it worked in 30-45 minutes. Migraine gone."
