| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR EXCEDRIN (MIGRA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Bad Migraines | Panic attack and ridiculously increased heartbeat | Killed the migraine, but not worth the side effects | F | 42 | 2 days | 1/6/2010 | 1 | Headache | Dizzy, hyperventilating, nausea, dry mouth, poor vision, panic attack, increased heart rate, sky rocketed blood pressure. | I am too young to be having a panic attack. I took two Excedrin (migraines) because I had a splitting headache. I thought two would be sufficient. I never drink caffeine, well never meaning infrequently. If I am tired I might have a glass or two of Mr. Pibb to wake me up but I seldomly drink energy drinks and I do NOT drink coffee. Apparently the two pills were too much and after thinking I was dying, an EKG, getting blood drawn, a BP of 155/100 an HOUR after a panic attack, the doctor diagnosed me with heart palpitations from the meds. I am now having to wear a heart monitor around for 24 hours to make sure that I am in good health. Thank you excedrin! | F | 22 | 1 days | 10/2/2009 | 1 | migrane | sweating, confusion, euphoria, dizziness, nausea. | I took excedrin for the first time in my life and it was the worst feeling ever. It got rid of my migrane but i can still feel the side effects, it has been a few days and i still feel dizzy and confused at times. | F | 30 | 1 days | 8/31/2009 | 1 | Migraines | Nausea and vomitting, stomach upset, jittery and shakes, alertness. | I had horrible migraines for 3 yrs and everytime I would take the excederin it helped them go away but this seriously rots your stomach. Often migraines are an underlying problem undiagnosed mine was my gallbladder. Sinuses often play a part too. I will never use excedrin again and my doctor agrees. | F | 26 | 365 days | 6/24/2009 | 1 | migraines | Nausea for more than 9 hours, swelling of hands and feet, anxiety attack | Will never take again. My doctor should have told me this would have side effects. At this writing I am soo sick I can hardly stand it | F | 54 | 1 days | 7/30/2008 | 1 | Migraines | I thought i found the miracle drug over the counter for my migraines. It did truly works, instead of feeling sluggish i felt great and full of energy. Unfortunatly now after 2 ER visits i have found that i have burned a whole in my stomach. I have so much pain with anything i can eat or drink now. I felt this coming BUT my headaches are so bad that i couldn't stop taking this product. | Now I have it all, extreme head pain especially from the withdrawal of Excederine. Extreme pain of reflux and pain from IBS. I wish i knew how bad the withdrawal from this product would be. If I had of known that this would be this way, i would never have bought Excederine in the first place. It's a very addictive drug!!! PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH GET OFF THIS PRODUCT IT WILL DISTROY YOUR STOMACH FOR LIFE, THE WITHDRAWAL I FEEL NOW IS SOOOOOOO NOT WORTH IT | F | 44 | 1 years | 4/22/2009 | 1 | Migraine | Several | I get severe migraines - I will never touch Excedrin again. I got extremely jittery, weak, shaky and dizzy. My blood pressure felt like it shot up, I had nausea, shallow breathing. And worst of all, I went through all that and it did nothing to relieve the migraine. I felt very close to having a panic attack. I didnt know that one pill has as much caffeine as one cup of coffee and I took 2 pills like the directions say. Took a few hours to really come down what I guess was an extreme caffeine rush - but not in a good way! That was this morning, now its late evening and I still dont quite feel 100%. Do yourself a favour. Take Maxalt - it is expensive but it actually works. | F | 31 | | 5/21/2009 | 1 | Classic migraine with prodrome | None | With a prodrome (very bad vision), I absolutely could not read the tiny type on the label. The directions should be much larger. | F | 53 | 1 days | 11/27/2008 | 1 | constant headaches | The first time of taking excedrin migraine it gave me really bad stomach pains that were unbearable. Few days later, I gave it another try and the same awful stomach pain again (worst than my period pain). Since my stomach can't handle excerdrin, I would have to switch back to Advil. | F | 28 | 2 days | 3/20/2008 | 1 | Chronic Migraines | Increased heart rate, anxiety, hyperventilation and shortness of breath. Shakiness and weakness to the point where I collapsed and had to be taken via ambulance to the emergency room because I couldn't walk or lift my arms. At first I thought it was dehydration or a sickness, but when I took excedrine again four days later the exact same thing happened. | It took away my headache. Unfortunately, the eight hours I ended up spending in the emergency room getting stuck with needles and doing tests gave me a new one. | F | 18 | 2 days | 3/30/2008 | 1 | severe migraines | i started taking excedrin when i was only 9. i was getting severe migraines at a very young age. We couldnt afford the doctors, and at the time it seemed to work. i was only in third grade i would call my mom everyday to bring me some in shool because my head hurt so bad. as i got older i started remembering to take two everyday before i went to school. its been 10 years and now im taking more than ever! i've researched excedrin and each ingredient with a prolonged use can create a phycological addiction. YES sad to say i am now addicted to excedrin. my body needs this chemical every to function. to this day i've take over 22.000 pills. trust me i've done the math. so yes i think everyday it takes away my headache but giving me longer term problems. im scared now im not going to be able to have kids, i get horrible stomach aches, the symtoms just go on. i am only 19. please if u have any advice let me know cause im still taking them and i want to stop??!! | DONT START TAKING THEM! | F | 19 | 10 years | 9/7/2007 | 1 | Menopausal Migraines | Within 24 hours of taking the recommended dosage I began to experience severe gastritis which lasted for a week. | The horrible gastritis which resulted from Excedrin Migraine is not worth the headache relief. At first I did not connect the GI distress with the Excedrin as I had chalked it up to middle age. After hearing that others experienced similar symptoms with Excedrin Migraine I monitored my side effects and confirmed my suspicions. I've since switched to a coated aspirin product. | F | 49 | 4 months | 8/19/2007 | 1 | migraines | causes rebound headaces, mild stomch and chest pain, and dizziness. | At first it worked great, but my boby grew tolernt to this drup fast so i had to o/d to get ride of the migraine. It may work for mild pain, but nothing worse. | F | 18 | 5 months | 7/8/2006 | 1 | Imitrex rx ran out | severe nausea and sweating. lessened the pain but did not make it go away. sensitivity to light, sound, smell still present. | It is the same exact formula as Extra Strength Excedrin, which irritates me because they are making so much $$$ from taking an existing product of theirs and putting the word "migraine" on it. | F | 30 | 1 days | 7/13/2006 | 5 | Migraine | None. People if you have stomach pain you are sensative to asprine. They make asprin free excedrine. | 21 | 1X day | 7/20/2011 | 4 | Migraine headaches | Before it went off the shelves I swore by this product, it worked every time where Prescription drugs didn't. I noticed no side effects. But since it came back it only comes in the oblong white pills - not the round green coated ones - and the stomach discomfort and nausea are awful. I replace the headache with another form of discomfort. I thought they went off the market because of some minor tainting in the production line . Now I question that. It took forever to come back and it seems they came back with a lesser product. I still use it but I prepare to stay in bed even when the headache is gone. Bummer. | It was a surefire magic pill before they pulled it. Now it's just an option if you really need relief from the headache. | 58 | 7 years 1 pill 1X AN | 7/19/2014 | 1 | Migraine Headache | This is a dangerous product. I took this product four times over a two-month period (the recommended 2 tabs in 24 hours). The first two times I took it, my migraine disappeared in 10 minutes and no side effects. I was thrilled. However, when I took this product the third time a couple weeks later at 4:00 am, I figured all would be fine- BIG MISTAKE. Within 15 minutes, I started getting morbid thoughts, extreme anxiety. I started walking fast around the house and felt very weird and faint. It was so alarming that I almost called 911! Since it worked so well the first two times, I thought maybe it was a 'fluke' so when I encountered my fourth migraine I took it again (just 2 tabs) and had the same horrible reaction so this was NO FLUKE. I threw the rest of the tablets down the toilet and I will NEVER take this medicine again. This could put someone in the hospital or worse! | 56 | 2 months 1X day | 3/22/2015 Patient History | 1 | headache | 1 days | 11/21/2014 | 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 | 1 | Bad headache | Terrible killer stomach pain, gastrointestinal disturbance, cramps, gas, belching, diahrrea, nausea, restlessness. 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 |
