| 4 | Migraine | Never had problems, till this last time. Heart burn, burning stomach ache, sleeplessness, restlessness | My migraines are soo bad, and my body gets used to meds quickly, that I now take 4 excedrine 1-2 times a day. Less if I can help it. But, this is the first time I have experienced any side effects. | F | 44 | 1 days 30 mg 4X AN | 7/14/2017 | 2 | Headache | Not long after I took the prescribed amount, my stomach starting cramping, my chest started hurting, and I started to feel nauseous. I actually threw up not long after taking it. I started having diarrhea and it was liquidly green. | I would not advise taking this. | F | 38 | 1 days 2 tablets 1X day | 7/10/2017 | 1 | Headaches, noise sensitivity | Stomach Ache, nausea, Gastritis, GERD, heartburns, Vitamin D Deficiency and muscle pain across body. | Before taking the dose, I have been previously healthy, as in never had a history of gastritis, Deficiency or anything of that sort and no cancer in my family history. Only thing I had was somewhat high cholesterol levels but that's it. Took the recommended dose of 2 on May 28, 2017 on a Sunday. Wanted it as relief for the headaches and noise sensitivity for work after I had a minor concussion. Took in in the morning with a small donut and with an Arizona drink. Caused an adverse reaction in my stomach. Had stomach aches, and nausea the same day, within a week or so, had extremely low Vitamin D levels, felt sharp bone pain across my body. Since then I haven't felt that great and had to go to a doctor, diagnosed me with Gastritis, GERD, and Vitamin D Deficiency. Am taking Rantidine, Metoclopramide, and D2 50,000 UI Pill to ease it. My bones are recovering bit by bit but the GERD still resurfaces and will have to adjust my diet. Excedrin Migraine is the worst drug you can take to treat headaches or temporary migraines of any kind. The side effects far outweigh the positives. Avoid it at all costs definitely not worth it. | M | 27 | 1 days 2 pills 1X day | 6/22/2017 | 1 | Migraine | It took my headache away but amplified my anxiety a whole lot. I began shaking all over and felt very nauseated but couldn't throw up. I had shortness of breath, and my chest and throat still feel about tight 3 days later! Very very scary and not to mention I had to take tums the past three nights because I'm having stomach problems. I feel like I made a very bad choice taking this and wouldn't recommend it to anyone! | I honestly wanted to go to the hospital and I still don't feel right yet. It's been 3 days | F | 17 | 1 days | 6/9/2017 | 3 | To relieve migraine | Heart burn, acid reflux, dizziness, vomiting, difficulty breathing, throat tightness, chest pain & jittery. | I have been taking Excedrin for more or less 3 years now only when I'm having migraines. Most of the time it works but for some reason this year there were few times when it didn't work which I don't know why. Yesterday, i had 1 chicken sandwich & 1 bar of chocolate for lunch, 3 hrs later I had migraine. I took 2 capsules while I was drinking coffee then after an hour I wanted to throw up & unwell. Went home & all the side effects started. I was throwing up acid non-stop for 4 hours. I had to stay close to the restroom due to the constant acid & mix of food discharged. I thought I am having a heart attack. When I searched the net I realized that I might have taken too much caffeine & the combination of food I had was bad. A day after i still have heart burn, tightness of chest & acid. I can feel the inflammation & i just wanted to discharge it all out of my chest but don't know how. It feels like there's stucked food & acid on my chest. I have difficulty burfing & breathing. If anyone knows what would help me ease this horrible pain & discomfort, please email me. Thank you. | F | 44 | 3 years 250 | 6/7/2017 | 4 | headache | Shaking | If I take it as soon as I feel a headache it will if I wait it takes 2 pills | F | 67 | 3 years | 5/31/2017 | 5 | I get pre menstral migraines | I eliminate the side effects from excedrin by eating papaya pills or juice or the actual fruit in dried or fresh form, because papaya is known for creating enzymes in your stomach that activate mucus to coat your inside lining and protect it from acids and burning from taking Excedrin. Next, I take 2 Valerian herbal capsules found any where in the vitamin section that balances out the caffeine jitters that Excedrin causes. Then I drink a lot of water with taking 2 Excedrin capsules. So my migraine goes away and my stomach and nervous system are in control. The great thing about papaya and Valerian is that you can keep taking it as needed every few hours if you feel that your Excedrin side effects are coming back. Safe & natural combo. | F | 1 days | 4/16/2017 | 4 | Miagraine | Shaky, nauseous, hot | This works great for my severe headaches/migraines in as little as 20 minutes. BUT I think the dosage should be one tab instead of two. ONE tab contains 250mg of Acetaminophen PLUS 250mg Aspirin PLUS 65mg of Caffeine. You are not to take more then 2 tabs in a 24hour period so I think the normal dosage should be cut to one tab because of the side effects. I have taken this a couple of times now and have had the same side effects. Since it works better then anything else for me, I won't give it up yet but I will cut down to one gel tab next time. | F | 38 | 1 days 2 geltabs 1X day | 3/21/2017 | 1 | Migraine | Nausea, heart pain, vomiting, stomach issues, major and severe headache increase | Never again! | F | 42 | 1 days 400mg 1X day | 3/19/2017 | 1 | Migraine | Two hours after taking felt nervous, fast heartbeat, nauseous, really hot throughout my entire body. | Never taking again!!! | F | 26 | 1 days 2-250mg | 2/11/2017 | 3 | Yes Excedrin helps my headaches, but I've noticed lately it makes my stomach upset. No diarrhea or bowl movement changes, but makes me almost nauseous. I think I'll stick to Tylenol. Excedrin makes my headaches go away faster than other medicine, but I can't take the stomach upset. | F | 26 | 2 days | 2/3/2017 | 1 | Migraine | I took Excedrin migraine for the first time and almost went to the hospital. The side effects were horrible!! I had extreme stomach pain and diarrhea !! Not to mention the nervousness and anxiety attacks that came along too. I honestly thought something was wrong with me. My heart was rapidly beating. I Thought that I overdosed or something terrible was happening until I got on google and realized other people were having the same symptoms. It did however take away my head ache in about 30 min, just definently not worth the side effects. | Never taking again. | F | 21 | 1 days 3 pills | 12/27/2016 | 1 | migraine | I had a migraine due to tmj and after an hour of taking it I felt extremely jittery and I had lots of anxiety. It also made my stomach upset and my legs felt heavy. Never taking again | Leave this stuff alone | F | 15 | 1 days | 12/21/2016 | 1 | Migraine | The worse stomach pains and diarrhea | After taking two pills for migraine, my headache went away within 30 minutes. About and hour later I lived in the restroom for the next 4 hours with stomach cramps to die for and a nightmare of diarrhea. I ALMOST DIED! Well at least that's what it felt like. Never again will I take them pills. | F | 38 | 1 days | 12/20/2016 | 1 | Had very bad headache An muscle pai | Rapid heart beat, anxiety, nervousness | I was taking this drug before it was tooken off the market and it would usually help with my headaches but the recent time that I took it I was wondering why after I had the headache that my heart would start beating fast and I would feel anxious and I didn't know the reason for the anxiety attack I mean I have had anxiety attacks before but this one was different and then when I googled side effects and other reviews of this medicine I seen that other people had the same results and it's kind of scary I probably won't take as High of a dosage next time but It did get rid of my headache fast but the after effects are crazy :-( | F | 24 | 1 days 250x4 | 12/2/2016 | 1 | Headache | Had horrible headache. Tried migraine formula for first time. Within an hour my heart was racing, felt faint, lightheaded, loss of feeling in arms which increased anxiety. Became horribly nauseated and like I was going to vomit. Incredibly disoriented. Head still hurt. | Never again will I take this. | F | 44 | 1 days 2 tabs | 11/29/2016 | 5 | Migraine | Made sure I had food in my stomach so only felt like I drank a cup of coffee, awake. You HAVE to make sure to either have food in your stomach or drink a lot of water, which is right on the bottle. | M | 40 | 1 days 2 | 10/8/2016 | 1 | Migraine | I felt SUPER dizzy and nervous | Don't take it, sleep your migraines off | F | 18 | 1 days | 9/21/2016 | 1 | For a migraine | Felt dizzy and had a fast heart rate. Went to the ER they said it was cause of the caffeine. Yet I never had this when drinking coffee. I wouldn't ever recommend taking this to anyone! | Don't take this! | M | 24 | 1 days 2 pills | 9/9/2016 | 1 | Migraine Headache | Severe stomach cramps and diarhea. | Horrible stomach cramps accompanied by diarhea lasting 8 to 12 hours after taking medication. Relief of headache only lasted a few hours, but the pain from the stomach cramps and diarhea is far worse! | F | 40 | 1 days 2 tablets | 9/9/2016 |
