TERRIBLE MEDICINE DON'T BUY THIS! | I didn't take it on an empty stomach, I had a meal before I took 2 caplets. Plus I drank a healthy plant based protein shake to avoid stomach discomfort and drank water but didn't help. I STILL suffered terrible side effects. I regret taking this medicine! | 43 | 1 days 500mg | 1/14/2020 | 5 | Migraines | Excedrin works good for me I only take one pill, and i make sure i have a full stomach. I have taken 2 pills before and never in my life will I make tht mistake again it have me panic attacks, anxiety, I was freaking out felt like I was going to die couldn't breathe, heart was beating fast felt very nervous. I had to get my thoughts together and try not to freak out it last for a hour or 2 worst feeling in my life so I recommend taking 1 not 2 | M | 34 | 5 years 1 pill | 1/11/2020 | 1 | Migraine | Strong abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, no improvement with migraine | F | 34 | 1 days | 12/28/2019 | 1 | Bad headache lasting 4 days | Stomach pain, diarrhea | Took only half dose, didn’t get rid of my headache and gave me horrible stomach pain and diarrhea. | F | 39 | 1 times | 12/3/2019 | 3 | migraine | dizziness, numbness, upset stomach/cramps, restlessness and anxiety | got some of these a few days ago as ive been having a migraine for abt a week. worked fine then, but as my head was still slightly hurting, i took a couple more tonight, 3 days later. big mistake apparently. my headache is basically completely gone, but im now suffering with EXTREME anxiety and dizziness. On top of that, i started getting awful upper stomach cramps a couple hours ago. took it at around 8pm, and 4 hours later im still dealing with the side effects. all in all, its great for migraines but be careful because it can come with some nasty side effects | F | 19 | 3 days | 11/16/2019 | 1 | Migraine | Experienced a foggy dizzy feeling about twenty minutes after taking. I then experienced painful watery diarrhea and it only helped my head a little bit. Not worth it for me. | F | 37 | 1 days 2 pills | 10/10/2019 | 4 | Had a bad migrane | Helped with migraine in about 20-30 mins trade off brief nausea .. but after that bout feel sooo much better. it's worth it. migraines are so much worse than 30 minutes of nausea. | F | 28 | 1 days | 10/4/2019 | 5 | Really bad Headaches | I take Excedrin Migraine frequently because of constant headaches. Thirty minutes after taking, my headache is gone. Yes, it does make me jittery sometimes, but also as soon as it starts working I feel a cloud lifted from my head. I feel sooo much better. However, what I dont like is having really bad indigestion. Burping ALL the time. If I dont have any Tums with me I wont take the Excedrine. | It's kinda like taking an energy drink that helps your migraine. | F | 39 | 1 days 2 pills | 8/30/2019 | 1 | Headache | So it all started when I was getting a really bad headache late last night. It kept pounding in the back of my head and so I decided to take some Excedrin Migraine which usually does the trick and doesn’t give me any side effects. It was starting to take the pain away so then I made some tea to help me sleep. As I was drinking the (de-caffeinated tea), I suddenly felt this really strange rushing feeling come over my head..like a super fuzzy/dizzy feeling and like everything was caving in or something so I stood up really fast and was in full panic mode. My heart started racing like crazy and I felt like something was pressing against my chest. I was freaking out thinking maybe I was having a heart attack or stroke. I was also up all night having diarrhea and peeing like crazy. It’s the next morning and I feel a lot better but still not 100%. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE. Based on other reviews I’ve read, sounds like similar reactions have happened to other people out there so there must be something in this that’s toxic...beware!!! | Made me feel like was dying. Much rather have had the headache instead!! This medicine needs to be recalled!!! | F | 26 | 0 days | 8/11/2019 | 1 | headache | this drug is disgusting and i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, it took my headache away within 20/30 min but i had an anxiety attack, horrible churning stomach and sunken in stomach feeling, no sleep, shaky, it even made me urinate 5/6 times full bladder within the span of 30 min. i would rather have a headache anyday then take that again. | STAY AWAY FROM IT | F | 17 | 1 days (2) 500mg | 8/6/2019 | 2 | Had a headache or a mild migraine | Nausea (in waves), bloating, stomach churning, hot feeling in stomach, laxative effect, diuretic effect, anxiety | Had a moderate headache and took an Excedrin so I could enjoy my night off. I am glad I did not take 2 pills as directed! Apparently I cannot tolerate it. I took this 3 hours ago and my stomach and bowels still feel like a rolling, stormy sea. My headache is not completely gone but at least it's bearable now. I probably won't take this medication again. Believe it or not but Vicks rubbed into my forehead actually does more for my headaches than OTCs. Without the nausea. | F | 31 | 1 days 1 pill | 8/4/2019 | 3 | headache | Slight stomach ache, shortness of breath, chest pain, sweating, anxious feeling, insomnia | I’ve taken this stuff before, and never had any side effects. However, last night around 10, I was feeling a headache coming on so I took ONE, and it wasn’t on an empty stomach or anything. Big mistake. I wake up at 5am (after going to bed at 1am) with a slight stomach ache, chest pain, sweating, a weird panicky feeling, shortness of breath and feeling generally just weirdly tired and strange. I’m not able to fall back asleep either, which is probably from the caffeine. My stomach ache isn’t nearly as bad as others describe, so I feel lucky with that. But man, this is a terrible trade off for a little bit of a headache. | F | 16 | 0 days | 7/15/2019 | 4 | Migraine or severe headache | Bad diarrhea on day 3 | This is an awesome medication. There are two causes for me to get the type of headache that needs excedrine migraine. Either it’s hormonal or weather related. Hormonal- usually one day per month I have to take it. I’m fine. If there are big weather changes it seems to bring on these horrible headaches. This week I have had them 3 days in a row. Tried to be conservative with 1 pill once a day because I knew what was coming... day 3 major upset stomach keeping me up. Usually though the pain relief is worth the risk for me | F | 45 | 3 days 1 pill | 7/9/2019 | 4 | Migraine | Only took 1/4 of the standard dose, and I still had that awful Excedrin nausea. On the couch for several hours with it. Yuck. | F | 49 | 1 days 1/2 of 1 | 6/24/2019 | 4 | Migraine | Horrible stomachs pain, nauseas, diarrhea, weird feeling | It works incredible for headaches and migraines. However, due to the side effects I won't be taking it any longer. The nausea isn't bad if I take with a full meal. But the stomach pain is horrific. I can only describe it as a intense burning, mixed with bloating, and someone stabbing me. It also gives me awful diarrhea. I've noticed the longer I take it the worse the side effects have been. The pain has had me thinking I need an ambulance. I would much rather have the headaches then this feeling in my stomach I'm miserable. | F | 26 | 3 months | 5/28/2019 | 1 | Migraine | Migraine dropped to a headache but I felt so dizzy and nauseous I couldn’t work or even drive! I had such brain fog I had to leave work! I won’t be taking again. | 32 | 1 days 2 tablets | 5/23/2019 |
