| 2 | Migraine | Excedrin normally helps take the edge off my migraines on the rare occasion that I get one (couple times a year), but doesn't entirely remove the pain. Came down with a migraine tonight and took 2 caplets with food and glass of water. As usual it helped somewhat with the head pain, but a couple of hours later I started getting severe gas/bloating and diarrhea. The pressure has been constantly building for 3-4 hours now, only being released by bouts of diarrhea. Took some GasX, hoping it'll help me get to sleep. Don't know if I'll ever risk taking Excedrin again. | M | 26 | 1 days 2 caplets 1X day | 12/26/2020 | 4 | Tension back ache headache | I've used this EM for years when I get very bad tension headaches. Its the only thing that works but turns my stomach into a wreck. I learned to eat something like, bread, pancakes, muffin because I feel it absorbs the acid or whatever is happening and my stomach won't hurt. Most of the time it works but sometimes it doesn't and the upset stomach, diarrhea and overall lousy feeling isn't worth it. But pancakes help the most if you are desperate and have to take it. | Works on headache, and wrecks the stomach. Pick one | F | 57 | 1 days 2 1X day | 12/15/2020 | 1 | Migraines | I took 2 extra strength pills for my migraine and I cannot get off the toilet. I ate and drank water with it and I'm so fuzzy brained. My stomach won't stop turning and the diarrhea is awful. I won't be taking excedrin ever again, I'd rather nurse my migraine with a cold pack and heating pad on my feet. | If you have a sensitive stomach I do not recommend taking these. The stomach pain is horrendous | F | 28 | 10 days 2 5X AN | 12/4/2020 | 1 | Migraine | I took this for a migraine I was having.

Got rid of the headache, but got even worse symptoms. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! | F | 19 | 1 days 2 pills 1X O | 11/20/2020 | 1 | Migraine headache | Body jitters, dehydration, nausea, and vomiting. | I used to be able to take this med without any side effects. Used to clear up a migraine in 15-30 mins. I guess my body doesn't respond well anymore. Last two times I've taken it, I've had the reaction above. Never taking again. | F | 38 | 1 days 400 Mg 1X day | 11/6/2020 | 1 | Headache | Got rid of my headache but caused my Stomach to hurt sooooo Bad!

I've tried Demerol and opioids in the past. Nothing touched the pain. I was desperate and decided to try Excedrin Migraine, and was delighted to discover that it relieved the pain. | F | 68 | 3 years | 9/29/2020 | 1 | For a headache | I took 2 extra strength Excedrin 's on an empty stomach my stomach felt extremely bloated and I got very jittery And dizzy and my head was foggy And at 1st I couldn't figure out why I was feeling like this and then oh I took Excedrin was my fault that I did not eat when I took it So I didn't have anything in my stomach for 3 hours... I ended up going to the ER because the pain moved from my stomach To my intestines and I have a hernia and everything was bloated and 3 days later I still can't even eat a meal properly without irritation to my stomach I do not recommend | F | 34 | 1 days 2/ 100mg 1X O | 9/28/2020 | 4 | Migraines | None other than stomach cramps if I don’t eat before taking. | Been taking excedrin from years. It’s literally the only thing that brings me relief from my migraines. You HAVE to eat with these or they will give you cramps. Never had any other problems. | F | 27 | 7 years 1X day | 9/24/2020 | 1 | Headache | NEVER have I had such bad cramps in my life. They started about two hours after taking this and I am still struggling 24 hours later. Throwing these out and will never take ever again. | F | 41 | 1 days 1X day | 9/22/2020 | 4 | Migraine brought on by weather | I was really suffering from a migraine brought on by bad storms up the east coast. After 2 days I tried Excedrin Migraine. The first day, taking only 1 tablet my headache improved a bit. I took it again the next day around 2 pm and my headache was all but gone and I felt great. I woke up today to bad stomach pains, heartburn, reflux and mild diarrhea. I am prone to heartburn but the stomach pains and diarrhea are unusual for me. I can only assume it was from the Excedrin. Very relieved I only took half the dose. It’s a shame because it really helped my migraine. | F | 60 | 2 days 1 tablet 1X day | 8/5/2020 | 1 | Migraine | Do not take this medicine! I usually have a weird feeling in my stomach when I take a goodys powder or ibuprofen. Not too long ago I took 1 excedrin I was a little jittery. But today I took 2. Boy why did I do that?! Mind you I suffer from anxiety. Dizziness, upset stomach, nausea, anxiety attack, urinating her few minutes. Now I'm in the emergency room. Never again. Give me back my migraine I'll pass on the excedrin. | F | 27 | 0 days 1X day | 7/16/2020 | 1 | Headache | Took this for a headache and the following symptoms occurred: -Numbness in legs -Excessive salivating | Also experienced this with Midol | F | 29 | 1 days 60mg | 6/29/2020 | 1 | Migraine | HORRIBLE stomach cramps and diarrhea. I will just say I was better off dealing with the migraine. It has been hours and my stomach is still cramping and the diarrhea has not let up. | I took a 2 pack I bought over the counter. I was desperate to get rid of my migraine but it was NOT worth it. I could have tried to sleep the migraine off and use other remedies with patience and waited till it went away.
