| 1 | I took two excedrine for a headache, and experienced a rapid heart beat, followed by sweats, and trembling. I couldnt feel my legs, and so i ended up the er...oh this occurred 2 hours after taking it. I was driving on the highway. | Leave this shit alone. | F | 29 | 1 days 30mg | 9/3/2016 | 1 | pain | Horrible. Ten mins after talking one pill I had a fast pounding heart... Dizziness... Uncontrollable anxiety.. Shaking... Burning feeling in face and neck and ears... Heavy word feeling in head... Shoulder pain .. Couldn't breathe well... Felt like I had a high fever and the flu... Already called 911. It was absolutely terrifying. Not sure how long this lasted because I made myself go to sleep with ice packs all over me... I still feel weird the next morning. I feel sick in my stomach and having small bouts of pounding in heart.so scary....never again. | Don't take this, ever! | F | 31 | 1 days 1 pill | 8/20/2016 | 5 | Migraine | Caffeine may keep me awake, but it's a small price to pay to get rid of the migraine. | I get between 1 and 5 migraines a month. I have tried Imitrex, Zomig, and Zonisamide, none did a thing for my migraines. Finally tried this, and it WORKS. If I recognize the migraine early enough, one pill may be sufficient, but if I delay, wanting to be sure it's really a migraine, then sometimes two pills are required. This is simply Tylenol, aspirin, and caffeine - but it's that unique combination that works. I have tried just tylenol and aspirin, and it was not effective. The caffeine plays some sort of important role. It's nice to have something cheap and OTC that works. I carry it in my purse, the car, everywhere I go. It's a godsend. | F | 54 | 10 years 2 pills 1X W | 8/18/2016 | 1 | I was relieved to see so many reviews describing what I was feeling after taking this! I thought something was very wrong. I fortunately did not experience the terrible gastrointestinal problems some people have described, but my experience was no good. Took two pills before heading to a concert. By the time I got to the concert, I felt like I was drunk. So lightheaded and woosy, almost like having an out of body experience. I felt like I was going to fall out of my chair. Did not like that feeling at all. When I came home and went to bed I had an unusual amount of gas and felt so bloated; felt like I had indigestion. Took me forever to fall asleep. Feeling slightly better this morning but still not back to normal yet. | F | 31 | 1 days 2 Pills | 8/8/2016 | 3 | Migraine | Severe stomach pain; restlessness | Sometimes I only take a half of a tablet because of how much it hurts my stomach. I still get horrific stomach pain. It usually takes away my headache though. Taking it at night produces the worst pain. When I take this product early in the day with food, the stomach pain is not as severe. | F | 62 | 2 days 1 tablet 2X day | 7/27/2016 | 1 | I had bad migraines | Horrible side effects. I took it when it was back on the shelves and started violently vomiting. That never happened before it was removed off the shelves. It doesn't work anymore. threw all the bottles out. | F | 50 | 1 days | 6/27/2016 | 2 | Migraine | Nausea, anxiety, tightness in chest and throat. | When I ran out of my sumatriptan and was unable to get a refill at that moment, I decided to take Excedrine Migraine. Although it knocked out my headache within about 1 hour, I was left feeling nauseous, very anxious with the feeling of butterflies in my stomach, and tightness in my chest and throat. Again it worked for the headache however left me feeling miserable afterwards. | F | 31 | 3 days 1 caplet | 6/26/2016 | 1 | My friend was taking 4 migraine | No bad side affects, med just didn't do as advertised, which was relieved migraine headache. | As a retired nurse I can tell what is actually in this "magic formula". You know it by brand name Aleve & Tylenol, with some caffeine added. If you want to use this type of formula, you can come very close @ a much better price. Go to Walmart or any pharmacy, find the name brand Alieve & Tylenol.Look @ chemical name under the brand name.@ Walmart, I look right beside the same medicine and see Equate for less than 1/2 the cost.Buy a bottle of each. Next I recommend that you Always consult with a pharmacist. These are the people who have had specialized training in the field of medicine that our doctor prescribed. While they aren't allowed to tell you what you should take, other than Always consult with your family doctor. If I were to take 1 Equate brand Tylenol and 1 Equate brand ALIEVE, then drink a very strong cup of coffee, I've solved the problem of identity the formula. Now if you asked if it doesn't work, why do so many people give positive reviews? 1St Haven't you heard of these companies where for the Right Price you can Buy positive reviews for your company? 2.Always go by "word of mouth" ask friends and family on your social media sites if they have personally tried this product for migraine and did it WORK? As a nurse, we not only reviewed meds that way but doctors as well. Didn't matter how good your diagnostic skills were, if you had a Rude attitude towards any nurse you got put on "the list". | F | 30 | 3 days | 6/26/2016 | 5 | Migraine | l would have been in bed vomiting for days if it wasn't for excedrin they save my life | F | 67 | 1 days | 6/11/2016 | 1 | For migraine headaches | Excruciating stomach cramps, gas, bloating, fever, chills | Ok, so here's the good and unfortunately the bad of this medication. When I first took excessive migraine (2 tablets) it definitely knocked out my migraine headaches. I admit that my migraines come about once every three weeks and are relatively mild (compared to some that I've heard of) however are still debilitating. Loss of concentration headaches, extreme sensitivity to light, etc) So I thought I had found a magic solution to these as the excedrine was quite effective for keeping the massive headache part at bay. However, over a few short months I have started having vicious stomach problems. Sharp shooting pains, bloating gassiness, diarrhea. This last for at least three or four days after taking the medication and has gotten progressively worse each time I take the pills. The latest bout has been so brutal that I would actually prefer the migraine to the stomach pain. Both are horrible and debilitating but the stomach pain is truly scary and the headaches go away after 24 hours. I can't recommend excedrine unless you have stomach of steel. I wish I could. | M | 46 | 1 days 2 pills | 5/14/2016 | 5 | Headaches | Only thing that helps with my headaches. Works very fast! | F | 21 | 7 months 130 | 5/3/2016 | 1 | Woke up with a bad headache | I took the recommended dosage of 2 pills at first, after about an hour, the headache seemed worse so I took another pill. Within 15 minutes I felt very nauseated, jittery, pounding headache, and just horrible altogether. I will not be buying excederine in any form again. | I would rather have a bad headache than the way excederine migraine made me feel. | F | 49 | 1 days 3 pills | 4/20/2016 | 1 | Ran out of my regular anti inflamma | Fast heartbeat nausea,general feeling of unwellness, it was hard to breathe, and I was uncontrollably shaky. It was very very scary and I will never take it again! | I used to take Excedrin every single day before it went off the market. Now that it's back I took some after running out of my regular anti inflammatory. I suddenly felt very nauseous, and uncontrollably shaky. It lasted about thirty minutes and then my body started to calm down enough to handle. It was so bad I couldn't work I had to just sit shaking and feeling like I was going to pass out and wanting to cry for fifteen minutes when I got to work. It did pass but left me with a hurting head. This medicine is not. Good do not take it! | F | 29 | 1 days | 4/3/2016 | 5 | I get frequent mirgraines. | I once accidentally took 3 Excedrin once and I got very jittery, nauseous, and couldn't sleep. | Works pretty great. Except for the one time I accidentally took 3 at once and I couldn't sleep and got very jittery. So don't do that. | F | 19 | 2 1X day | 3/13/2016 | 1 | Migraine | Nausea, worse migraine than before. Shortness of breath and anxiety | Never again! | F | 20 | 1 days 400 mg | 3/13/2016 | 1 | Woke up with a headache... | I woke up with a headache and took two Excedrine Migraine pills, shortly after I took them I felt like I was going to pass out. I had a jittery nervous feeling, lightheadedness, a racing heart and just a general feeling of unwellness. I would much rather have dealt with my headache than this awful feeling. Will never take this medication again. | F | 33 | 1 days | 2/15/2016 | 5 | Anemic related Migraines | I have nothing but praises for this, my headaches ate usually gone with just one pill..no negative side effects. | F | 49 | 1 days 50mg | 2/6/2016 | 1 | Cramps | I don't think I took the migraine pills but I took excedrin extra strength and it seems to have the exact same effects. The label read that it relieved menstrual cramps so I took 2 pills and almost immediately after I started feeling anxious. I struggle with anxiety already and this amplified it times 1000. I was feeling worried, paranoid, anxious, scared, jittery and I suffered a panic attack. I thought I was having a heart attack and I thought I was going to die. By far the worst I have ever felt in my entire life. Never taking this medicine or ANY pill ever again. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!!!! | F | 21 | 1 days 2 pills | 1/28/2016 | 1 | I had a horrible migraine | Racing heart, puking, stomach pain | Do not take this medicine. It will not help you whatsoever. | F | 18 | 1 times | 1/24/2016 | 1 | Migraine | Stomach burning lightheaded nausea | Never taking this again. Label doesn't even say how much to take. Terrible | F | 28 | 1 days 60 | 1/15/2016 |
