For Migraine "As someone who's been experiencing severe chronic aura migraines (5-7 days/week) since age 10 (17 now), I have tried a lot of different pain medications. Due to my hEDS, drugs such as acetaminophen and Excedrin work for some months before I grow a tolerance to them. I tried everything: lowering my dosage, taking fewer pain meds, going cold turkey and trying again a month later, but alas nothing seemed to work until I heard about Vanquish. I've been taking Vanquish for a little less than a year now and my dosage of 2 pills still works within 30 minutes to 1 hour with no noticeable side effects. Unfortunately, Vanquish is not a miracle drug and after taking it, I still usually have a slight headache and the occasional visual aura, but it has allowed me to live my life again. My only suggestion is to avoid taking it with Benadryl. I had an allergic reaction and needed it an hour after taking Vanquish, leading to an experience I can only imagine is comparable to taking copious amounts of meth."

For Migraine "Been getting migraines a lot more frequently lately. The last one I had, I ended up in the E.R. The prescription they sent me home with (ket.. something I think.. ketorol?? Idk but) whatever it was, didn't work! Yesterday another migraine set in. I spent last night in the tub in the dark, soaking my throbbing neck and shoulders in hot water and allowing the water to ease my nausea (as I always do with my endometriosis). I had my husband get me some coffee (for the caffeine), some chicken soup (to get something in my stomach to help with the nausea), and an ice pack for my head. I also took the last pain pill I had from the E.R. The pain subsided some but not for long. This afternoon I BEGGED my husband to get me some Excedrin Migraine because I looked up online what to take and that was the first thing that popped up, along with some more coffee. I took 2 of the Excedrin 30-40 mins ago, and the stabbing in my left temple is gone. I still have a bit of a headache, but nothing I can't handle!"

For Pain/Fever "Because I have a Morena birth control, headaches are a side effect and can be as painful as a migraine. I ran out of ibuprofen, so my husband told me to get more but try Excedrin. My headache was gone within 30 minutes, and I had energy. I'm never going back to ibuprofen again. Plus, 4 hours later, my headache is still gone, no need to pop more pills!"

For Migraine "I am going to stop buying Goody's because of the packaging. Getting all the powder out makes my headache worse. Big mistake. Big."
