Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I suffered of migranes for years therefore I took many otc products, I also had prescriptions, such as old Caffergot. Nothing did work to relief me of such headaches. One of those days, a friend recommended me Excedrine Migraine. Since then, I am the happiest person in this world. As soon as I feel the ache coming, there goes one caplet....wait about 15 minutes and that is it. I do recommend Excedrine Migraine To any person who suffers from Migraine. THANKS A LOT"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I have used goody's for over 30 years. Their effectiveness and ease of use has always been above average. I bought a 50 pack of Goodys. To my surprise there was new packaging on the powders. I thought it was awesome until I tried taking the goody's. The powder is hard to get out of the new tubes. It hangs in the bottom. Please consider changing it back to the folded over paper. Or come up with a way to get the powder to release more easily."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Been taking Goody Powders for 30 plus years. Love it! Works great on my migraines. The new packaging (tube) sucks!!!! The product sticks in the bottom of the tube and if you keep trying to get it out the tube gets wet and then you end up throwing half of it away. Terrible idea to change the packaging. Will have to find another product now. Really bummed out."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I HATE the new packaging! The texture of the powder is like finely ground glass. There is less powder in each packet; I have to take two. It takes too long to get the powder out of the packet; it doesn't slide out easily and it gets stuck on the side. By the time I get I finally get some of it out; I am in worse shape because of the struggle. This is my last time purchasing a "headache" for a headache!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I despise the new packaging! Please go back to the way it was! Simple and easier to take the medicine before, now you have to tap, shake and do whatever else to get all of the medicine out! I'm certain I have thrown away 10% of the medicine that's left in the new packaging because it won't come out, please return to the old packaging."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I've taken these pills twice and each time I have had very bad anxiety attacks. I was mostly concentrating on the sensation of floating and nothing being real to check if I still had a headache. I don't know if it was because I took these at night, but nevertheless, I will probably never take these again because the attacks are terrifying. I'm not saying this wouldn't work for some other person but I'm putting this up to warn people. I thought it was just my anxiety acting up but then I read other reviews. Please, people with anxiety, take caution."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever ""Go take a powder." I heard this in movies and in the South. I found Goody's a couple years ago. Instant head and body ache relief. Loved the little gum wrapper doses. Then they changed to their new "On The Go Stick Packs"! What a worthless terrible inconvenient way to package such a great product. You tear one end and try to pour it in your mouth but most gets stuck in the back of the little plastic infused paper pouch. You must flick and jiggle the pouch spraying contents all over your face and clothes. I sent them an email and the response was pathetic. I have not bought any since. Excedrin is the same ingredients. Just chew them up so they work fast. Bye Bye Goody's."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I have gotten migraines since I was 3 and I would get mild headaches to intense migraines basically every day for a good 4 years. I tried everything and Excedrin Migraine works so well and fast! I actually just took some like 40 minutes ago and the pain has subsided enough to write this review! This medicine honestly changed my life!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "The new packaging is the most annoying thing ever and hope Goodies find the drop in sales as an indication they have to go back. I've used it for years always keeping a pack from a convenience store in my wallet as a backup and am now looking for a replacement. The power now gets everywhere and I had thought it was the loss of powder that stopped it from working as well but now wonder as others do about the change in the powder itself."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I’m 68 and have osteoarthritis. I’ve been using Goody’s powders for a long time to relieve joint pain. Goody’s powders work. But I also hate the new packaging. The old folding packets were much easier to open and use. Please bring them back."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "It is an awesome product and I have been using it for over 50 years. The new packaging is beyond horrible, can't get all the powder out or it get spill in the effort to open the new package. The incident which caused the change was not due to Goody."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Have used Goody Powders for ages. The new packaging is a disaster. You can't get all the powder out without cutting it open with a pair of scissors, and then it's a mess. Impossible. Please listen to your loyal customers and go back to the original packaging! If it's a matter of labelling the individual packaging, just print it on the old original packet."

Thinking of buying something different. Hate to change but don't like getting choked or not being able to get all the the powder because of packaging. You should really consider your consumers."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "The medicine itself is great. The sealed pouches can go straight to the bin!! Whoever decided to change the individual packets should not only be fired, but should also be put in prison for 9 days!!! Minimum!! Ok, 4 days. By the way, I'm switching to BC headache powders immediately and urge everyone on the planet to do the same and never ever ever use Goody's again. You should have changed the name to...Goody luck getting the powder out the packet, fool. STUPID!! QUALITY CONTROL, ANYONE??!!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I have been taking goody powders for little over 30 years because they're wonderful for getting rid of headaches and other pains. I absolutely hate the new packaging on the go it's so hard to get all of the powder out and sometimes it doesn't come all the way out like the other person said in Tennessee it's humid and that's where I'm at. Please go back to the fold over Packaging"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I wouldn't even belabor (argue or discuss) the point of having to shake the packet, try to take the product, see that half of it is stuck in the bottom, shake packet again, tear the packet down the side to get to the rest of the product. IF the formula were the same and the product worked as it did previously it might be OK but it isn't and it doesn't. No, it isn't psychosomatic on my part. Goody's has been the go to pain reliever in my house for 20 years or more and I have simply stopped purchasing them. Please bring the original product back."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Maybe the managers bought stock in Excedrin, that's the only reason I can see for such a universally hated change. It worked! I can just crush an excedrin when I get a headache, at least I'll get all I paid for - and not just wear it on my front"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Goody's is my go to for fast headache relief but the new sealed packets are terrible. There is nothing good about them. Goody's, please stop trying to solve a problem that isn't there. The folded paper is a perfect design. I'm sure it's even cheaper to make than the new sealed packs. The folded paper is much easier to dump into one location inside your mouth. These new sealed packets force you to shake and tap them to get the powder to fall out, which then gets all over the inside of your mouth and throat. Terrible idea! Everyone that I know hates these new packets too. Please go back to what has worked perfectly for the last 10+ years and leave it alone after that. There's no need to fix something that isn't broke. I would have gave a 10 star if it wasn't for the horrible new packets."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "Migraines I understand, and I used to take Excedrine migraine decades ago before my kids were born and it worked...that being said, I don't know what they did to these pills, but they took an extreme toll on me after just two more than 12 hours apart. I had multiple anxiety/panic attacks, shortness of breath (may have been related to the attacks), a feeling of what I can only describe as Deja vu constantly for hours that was debilitating, fatigue, nausea and more. I have no bad medical history of any kind, no depression, no mental issues, never had an anxiety/panic attack, sleep and eat well, and I've never used any illegal drugs or even prescription drugs other than the birth control I have been known for years."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I take these for Headache/Backache/Arthritis. I am so sad & upset over the new packaging - been using it for a couple of months now & I don’t like it one bit better now then I did when I tried the first one. The powder goes Everywhere! Takes 2-3-4 tries to get it all in to your mouth & then you have a shower of residue down the front of your shirt! Not only is it a colossal aggravation but you look like a moron trying to take one in public & forget it altogether while you’re driving! Just a small note of interest.....My Grandmother knew Doc Goody personally in Concord, NC. During the Depression, Doc Goody hired her and another local lady to work at his home in the evening - after their hosiery mill shift - to sit & fold & package Goody powders for sale. She always spoke fondly of him & he gave her 4 kids some free medical care too. If this was done due to some kind of a safety concern, can’t you change the OUTER packaging & leave the inside packaging alone?"
