"Excedrin has worked wonders! It's fast, and it pretty much helps with anything! I have suffered from headaches, migraines, neck, shoulder, and back pain. It gives me relief from it all. For women, if you have bad menstrual pain, this is the number one go-to pill for me. It works quickly, and I use it for anything I can think of dealing with pain. I use the off-brand sometimes, but this one works best, the off-brand is fine to try to see if it works, and then after testing it, I got this and even more results. I'm a 25-year-old Navy veteran with pain from military injuries, and I tell you this is the best!"

"Awesome stuff. I'm a nursing assistant in a nursing home and ended up getting a migraine in the middle of my shift. Nothing usually helps my migraines, let alone gets ride of them completely. But my migraine was 100% gone within ten minutes of taking Excedrin Extra Strength. It was amazing! Never gonna need anything else for my migraines."

"I keep excedrin on hand for various reasons. I have a tendency to get bad headaches and even full blown migraines. Excedrine works 99.9% of the time and it goes to work very quick. I feel results in about 15 to 20 mins. I used to have to stay in bed with migraine and now after taking excedrin it works well enough that I can usually get out of bed a start my day."

"I have terrible migraines, and this is one of the best OTC medicines I found that helps. Prescriptions can get pretty expensive for migraine relief, so this is a good, cheaper substitute."

"This works great. Had a headache 30 min and it's gone. It depends though. I heard that if you take this on an empty stomach, it should take 20-30 mins. Or a full stomach is 30-45 mins."

"I have suffered with migraines since I was 2 years old, and I am now 36. I have tried every migraine med on the market, nothing worked for me like Extra Strength Excedrin. Recently, it was taken off the market and then put back on. I have noticed the increase in caffeine in the Excedrin and less of the pain med. I am very disappointed by this! After all these years, the #1 med I depended on no longer works."
