"Excedrin is my go-to for headaches and general aches and pains. When it wasn't available for almost a year, I tried everything else. Nothing works as good. I even prefer it over some prescription medications for pain."

"It does work beautifully to relieve awful headaches, but the side effects are enough to make me use this medicine only as a last resort. The aspirin in it gives me nosebleeds and bruises, and the caffeine, while not a lot at 65 mg, hits me much harder than caffeine from coffee for some reason."

"I have used it for at least 15 years with excellent results for head and body aches. The Extra Strength is great in the morning since I don't drink coffee. It relieves the morning body aches and gives you a perk up. I use the Back and Body at night. There's no caffeine, and you don't get the 'side effects' of evening medications. The only drawback is occasional stomach bleeding (evident in stools) and occasional heartburn. Works better than Vicodin for me."

"Took Excedrin for headaches, but it causes ulcers. Three times, I was put in the hospital for bleeding ulcers. It works great, but not worth being put in the hospital."
