For Migraine "Most people who have been diagnosed by a doctor will tell you a migraine is SO MUCH MORE than a bad headache. I have suffered from migraines most of my life. I tend to get them once every 2 weeks depending on my sleep and eating habits. Unfortunately, Excedrin Migraine just doesn't work for me. I know a lot of people have had a good experience with it, but certain prescription drugs are the only thing that will help my migraines. I am currently on Relpax, and it does make me feel groggy, but it is WELL WORTH it! When I get a migraine, I tend to get fuzzy vision, high sensitivity to smell and light, pain behind my eyes, sometimes vomiting, and numbness in my fingers."

For Migraine "Most of the time, the medicine works, a few days ago, it didn't at all touch the pain. It was so severe I thought I had a stroke. The left side of my body went numb, and I was in the E.R. for nine hours with an IV in, and went through four two-liter bags of magnesium and prescription-strength migraine relief before it went away. I had a CT done and everything. It ended up being a severe complex migraine. So if the Excedrin is not working for you, call your doctor ASAP to prevent this from happening. I couldn't talk, move very well, or was even really consciously aware of what was going on. It was so painful, and that kind of migraine mimics a stroke, so if you get nervous about a headache, do NOT be afraid to call your doctor and see what you should do."

For Migraine "My fiancé swears by this stuff for his migraines, but I’ve tried taking Excedrin twice now for my headaches, and both times I’ve literally felt like I was dying. Shortness of breath, numbness in my body, cold sweats, nausea, and chest pains. I don’t know what causes this, but it’s literally the worst feeling and lasts for hours and hours."
