For Migraine "Today I took Excedrin Migraine for the first time, it worked very well for the pain. It took it away completely, but now I am in bed feeling stomach pain, nausea, and heartburn. I feel miserable, I've never had medication bother my stomach before. I don't have a sensitive stomach at all. It's amazing for killing the migraine, but the stomach pain is not worth it. I normally take 800 mg of ibuprofen and a strong cup of coffee when I get a migraine, and it works great for me, but this time a friend asked me to try this, so I did, and it hasn't worked."

For Migraine "Kills my migraines, but kills my stomach too. Sometimes I just have to decide which is the lesser evil. Intense migraines trump hours of burning stomach, but the sensation of digesting razor blades trumps mild migraines. Know your body and medicate accordingly."

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."
