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."

For Migraine "Miracle over-the-counter drugs for migraines. It makes me wonder why I haven't heard about this drug until I saw the commercial on TV, lol. Don't drink coffee with this though, it made me very shaky-to the point where my latte was visibly shaking in my grasp :("

For Migraine "I had a horrible experience with Excedrin Migraine. Shortly after taking it, my heart started racing super fast, I got extremely anxious, and my body started shaking. Like other people are saying, if you are sensitive to caffeine, do not take this medicine. It didn't take my migraine away either, so it's not worth it at all."
