For Migraine "I had been having some bad headaches for a few days, so I decided to take Excedrin. Took 2 pills and drank a cup of coffee thinking the extra caffeine would help. The headache was still there, so I took 1 more Excedrin a few hours later. Bad idea. I felt sick to my stomach all night. My heart was racing, but I couldn't sit still because I was jittery and anxious from the caffeine. Felt like I was going to pass out. Very scary. Almost called 911."

For Migraine "Does not work for people sensitive to caffeine. I was jittery and nervous and queasy after using a single dose."

For Migraine "I got this medication from my doctor to treat weekly migraines. However, I found that this medication has only made my migraines more frequent! If I take it one day, it’ll return the next day. I never used to wake up with headaches, but now every morning is tainted with migraine. If I can catch my headache in time, it gets rid of the headache but introduces shakiness, dizziness, and stomach pain. If I wait too long to take the medication (i.e., wake up with a full-blown migraine), then it still causes these side effects, but combined with the headache, nausea, and dizziness of migraine, I feel 10x worse. Without my headache, side effects are bearable. With it, though, I really just want to blink out of existence. Take with caution or avoid altogether. My migraine days have increased 7-fold since taking this medication."
