For Migraine "I have over 20 migraines a month, which can be very costly with Imitrex. If I catch my headache early enough, Excedrin for Migraines will eliminate my migraine for 8-12 hours. It is tough on my stomach, though, after years of fighting migraines with aspirin (before Imitrex came along). Thank you, Excedrin!"

For Migraine "I have lived with migraine headaches for over 24 years. I did not know what to do with my head until I found a miracle 7 years ago. I am from the country where access to medication is not possible, so I had to learn how to live with an ongoing headache for several years. One day I was sitting in the lab with a female colleague, and she saw me rubbing my head badly. She carried the pills, so she pulled out and gave me two. In 15 minutes, I felt the most amazing relief I never had in 17 years. I totally depend on Excedrin Migraine pills for the last 7 years now. I feel stomach burning afterward, but that discomfort does not match the migraine headache. I take it twice or three times a week."

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 "I am absolutely in LOVE with Excedrin Migraine! Whenever I have the worst migraine, I always take this pill, and it goes away so fast. I've been having migraines since I was about 11, and at first, I would take Advil because I didn't know about Excedrin. But, as soon as I found this, I never went back. I swear by this pill. It's the only thing that really works for me. I don't know why for me it doesn't give me a stomach ache. I just took some this morning because I had the worst migraine, and I couldn't wait to eat something first. But my stomach is fine still. I would 1000% recommend Excedrin to anyone!"

For Migraine "I started using Excedrin Migraine in my twenties for migraines. I'm now 62 and continue to use it. It's a miracle drug for me. I do get stomach upset from it, so I try to take it with food. I can't take it around bedtime because I could never sleep (caffeine is in it). I take one pill. I took 2 once, and the shakiness and anxiety were through the roof. I hope they never stop manufacturing this product."

For Migraine "I had a very bad reaction. My stomach burning, cramping, and feeling nauseated, very ill to the point I had to go to urgent care. Now it’s going on 4 days feeling sick. Be glad when this gets out of my system. Never ever take this again."
