For Migraine "Migraines I understand, and I used to take Excedrin Migraine decades ago before my kids were born, and it worked. That being said, I don't know what they did to these pills, but they took an extreme toll on me after just two more than 12 hours apart. I had multiple anxiety/panic attacks, shortness of breath (may have been related to the attacks), a feeling of what I can only describe as déjà vu constantly for hours that was debilitating, fatigue, nausea, and more. I have no bad medical history of any kind, no depression, no mental issues, never had an anxiety/panic attack, sleep, and eat well, and I've never used any illegal drugs or even prescription drugs other than the birth control I have been known for years."

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."

For Migraine "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."
