"I’ve had a migraine for about 4 days now. It was helping in the beginning, but I took it and now my heart rate is skyrocketing. I feel dizzy and can’t fall asleep. I’m hoping this goes away soon, it is a very odd sensation. It kept me up all night. I just want to sleep! :("

"It’s really unbelievable to me that a company can really destroy their unique and proven product/packaging concept like they did with changing the Goody powder packaging. They must not have done any solid market research! This must be going down in history as one of the worst marketing decisions ever! There is really nothing good about the new packaging. The old style was unique, worked wonderfully, and had a solid and steady following of loyal customers (including myself). I’m really curious if there will be an apology from the manufacturer and if and when they will bring back the “old” style packaging?"

"I have used Goody powders for over 30 years, and I have to say that the new packaging is the worst idea you could have come up with. Also, I have compared the powder in the new and old, and there is a lot more in the old packs. I'm going to have to discontinue the use of your product as I see it isn't the same anymore. Bye, Felicia, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!!! Frustrated in Georgia!!!!!"

"My husband and I dislike the new on-the-go packs. All of the powder doesn't come out, so you end up having to tear it completely down both sides to lick or tap the remaining powder out. Every single time. It's annoying. The old packaging was better."

"I've used regular and migraine versions of Excedrin, and they have both worked effectively. The pain relief is realized within 15 minutes of taking it. I swear by this product and have used countless others when I did not have Excedrin at my disposal. I highly recommend this product."

"I have a love/hate relationship with this medication. I've had migraines since I was a child, but I also have anxiety. This is the only medication that takes my migraines away. However, it can also cause anxiety/panic symptoms, especially lightheaded feeling and fast heartbeat. I only take one with food and a lot of water. So it's either deal with the pain or uncomfortable anxiety symptoms for a while."

"I've taken Excedrin for headaches and body aches since 1972, when I was in the U.S. Army. Works very well most of the time. The only time I had a problem was many years ago, I got a bottle that must have turned bad or expired. Had a vinegar smell and caused dizziness within a short time of taking it. Advice: if the medicine has a sour smell, the aspirin content may have been altered by age or moisture, etc. Do not use."

"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."

"I suffered from migraines for years, therefore, I took many OTC products. I also had prescriptions, such as old Caffergot. Nothing worked to relieve me of such headaches. One of those days, a friend recommended Excedrin Migraine. Since then, I am the happiest person in this world. As soon as I feel the ache coming, there goes one caplet... wait about 15 minutes, and that is it. I do recommend Excedrin Migraine to any person who suffers from migraine. THANKS A LOT."

"Long-time Goody's fan - GREAT for headaches. HATE HATE HATE the new packaging. Can't get all of the product out, and it gets EVERYWHERE! Please bring back the old packaging and the larger dose that it was."

"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!"

"My migraine headache starts with what they call aura, which is blind spots in eyesight (eyesight will be blurry when this happens) and is followed by the worst headache ever. From my experience, Excedrin Migraine doesn't work when you take it after the headache starts. But when you take it in the early stage (which is, for me, immediately after experiencing aura), it's very effective. Don't expect you will be relieved from pain 100 percent, but at least it helps relieve 70 percent of the pain. I would highly recommend taking it in the very early stage when the migraine starts."

"Obvious corporate strategy to lower the amount of powder and increase the price for new 'on-the-go' packaging. For you idiots that changed a great product and are losing countless loyal customers... you need 'to go.' PS. Nice feature on your website for contacting you. I never see a reply. 'Go figure.'"

"I am 20 years old and get the worst migraines. As soon as I feel a migraine coming on, I take 2 Excedrin, and within 20-30 minutes, I feel great. No other medication combats my migraines like Excedrin does. Thank the Lord for this medication!"

"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."

"I have used Excedrin for approximately 15 years, and it does the trick in probably about 95% of my headaches. There are a few that it does not stop, but the trick really is taking it at the first sign of a headache and not waiting. Usual relief comes in approximately 15 to 20 minutes."

"I LOVE Excedrin Migraine, it's literally the only OTC pain reliever that completely gets rid of my migraines. Advil and Tylenol just do not even touch my migraine to relieve it, but this is definitely my favorite migraine cure. It gets rid of tension, light sensitivity, and all. I suffer from chronic migraines due to genetics, and this I highly recommend for anyone suffering a bad 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."

"I have used Goody's powder since I was 14 years old. I am 63 years old. They just came out with new packaging and have sealed the Goody powder. They have cut the dosage, I have to take two for it to work, and now one is not strong enough. I am so disappointed in this company. As long as I have been taking this medicine, believe me, I know the difference. I'm hoping I can still find some of the old packaging of Goody's powder before it's all taken off the market. I think I will start taking BC Powders. So sad Goody's changed its product."

"I had the worst migraine of my life for three days. I felt like I'd tried everything possible. Nothing touched the pain. It was blinding. My husband brought me the Goody's powder. It was awful tasting, but within a half hour my migraine was gone. It's a miracle. I'm grateful."

"Excedrin Migraine is the only thing that works for my migraines. Because I try my best not to take medicine, I will do everything to not take a pill unless I have to. Because I’ve learned that sometimes headaches come from dehydration, I try my best to gulp down bottles of water. In this instance, I lasted 3 days without taking medicine. I couldn’t take it no more. So I finally took 2 Excedrins, and within an hour, I’m already feeling relief. This medicine is really a miracle medicine for me. Thank you!"

"I would like to thank Excedrin. Within 3 minutes of taking it, I could feel it taking my headache away every second after until my headache was completely gone. I will continue to recommend this product to friends and family for life. Thank you."

"WHYYYYY was the packaging changed? Worst mistake ever. They were 'on the go' packs in the first place. Horrible decision. I also have to take 2 instead of 1 now. Just ridiculous all the way around. Change is good, but not for Goody's."

"Not only did they reduce the amount in the packs, but lots of the powder gets stuck in the corners of the packs, and I can’t get it out. Been waiting impatiently for the old packs to return. Maybe they will, but until then, I’ll be using Excedrin Migraine. Works almost as well for me, just not as fast as the old Goody’s. Y’all screwed this one up!"

"This is a wonder drug. I was an avid Advil user for years. Then one day the pain just wouldn't go away. My mom suggested Excedrin Migraine, and I've never looked back. Within 15 minutes, that awful pain is gone. 1-2 pills, depending on how bad the pain is, and you'll be feeling better in no time!"
