"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."

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

"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.. ketorol?? 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 and shoulders in hot water and 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 with 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!"

"I started getting migraines a year ago. I thought they were sinus headaches for the longest time, but I knew something had to be wrong because I would always throw up and then get extremely tired after throwing up. I spent a year taking Advil, Tylenol, sinus medication, and nothing would take away the pain. I would have them for two days straight sometimes. I thought maybe I was getting migraines. I woke up this morning and I felt one coming on. I went to work and started feeling worse and worse, so I went to the store and picked up this medication. I took it, and 30-45 minutes later, I was completely fine. It took away my migraine entirely. I spent a full year suffering, having no clue what was going on. I am so happy that I found this medicine!!"

"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 about 40 minutes ago. I still have some neck, shoulder, and back pain, and my head still feels a little groggy, but I am so much better and no longer debilitated and nauseous. This is some powerful stuff!"

"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 I try to take it with food. I 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."

"Followed instructions on the bottle, and the pill caused me to have panic attacks to the point of hyperventilating and wanting to pass out. Had to be taken to the hospital so they could give me an injection to counteract the Excedrin. I threw away the pills, and I do not recommend them. Also, did not help with the migraines."

"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 lifesaver. 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."

"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."

"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 headache, then went out later and ate a mushroom burger and got deathly ill from food poisoning. I vomited all night and thought it may have 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?"

"Someone told me to try this, and of course I did, being that I pay $16 a pill for Axert. I took 2 at early warning signs - nothing slowed down. I took 1 more an hour later as the pain intensified. 4 hours in, I took an Axert - which works for me. However, being that I waited so long to take it, my body was completely destroyed. My head felt bruised for 2 days - I was exhausted."

"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."

"I have tried all aspirin that are supposed 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 three a year."

"My wife has suffered from migraines since a child. I’ve seen her take several things over the years, and nothing ever worked. I’ve seen her sick for days on end, vomiting so hard she loses all sense of time. Then I see your commercials for migraines, this company has no idea what a migraine even is. Please stop making claims your medicine is for migraines. My wife finds some relief in Maxalt, and that doesn’t always work. Just hype is all you're selling."

"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."

"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)."

"Excedrin has always worked for me, but lately it's been giving me stomach pain and causing me to get lightheaded. The pain it causes is not worth it, especially if you have anxiety."

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