For Migraine "I LOVE Excedrin Migraine, it's literally the only OTC pain reliever that completely gets rid of my migraines. Advil and Tylenol just do not even touch my migraine to relieve it, but this is definitely my favorite migraine cure. It gets rid of tension, light sensitivity, and all. I suffer from chronic migraines due to genetics, and this I highly recommend for anyone suffering a bad migraine."

For Migraine "Love Excedrin Migraine. I have been a migraine sufferer for 40 years. Ibuprofen doesn't touch the pain, light sensitivity. But Excedrin Migraine usually knocks it down within 25 minutes before the nausea sets in. I truly hope they never discontinue this product. My son gets migraines too and also swears by Excedrin Migraine."

For Migraine "I have suffered from migraines for almost 40 years. I used to get hormonal migraines, but I take active birth control every day to stop those. I get weather-related migraines, I can feel storms coming in, so much pressure on my head. Anyway, Excedrin Migraine works great for me! Not all the time, though, sometimes I have to combine it with Sudafed to release the pressure. If I don't eat when I take the Excedrin, I do get jittery. But it stops the nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, as well as the massive pain of a migraine. It is always in my cabinet, ready to grab if I ever need it!"
