For Migraine "I can no longer take this medicine because it throws me into horrible anxiety attacks that mess with my blood pressure, make me dizzy, lightheaded, and lethargic. Not to mention, an overall FEAR I am dying. These do get rid of the migraine for me, but the effects are just not worth it. I used to be able to take it with no problem, but not anymore. The anxiety, high blood pressure, and overall feeling of dying caused me to trash them so the temptation would not be there to subject myself to them anymore. I'm going to have to find another way of dealing with the headaches. Everyone is different, what their bodies can tolerate varies."

For Migraine "I have a love/hate relationship with this medication. I've had migraines since I was a child, but I also have anxiety. This is the only medication that takes my migraines away. However, it can also cause anxiety/panic symptoms, especially lightheaded feeling and fast heartbeat. I only take one with food and a lot of water. So it's either deal with the pain or uncomfortable anxiety symptoms for a while."

For Migraine "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."
