| 5 | Bad headaches! | I took 2 for a bad headache.... It slacked up a little I wanted more relief so I took 2 more about an hour later then another hour later I took 2 sleep aid pills so I could sleep...huge mistake .....heart racing,nauseated and restless hope I don't die!Please read directions first and follow them… | F | 37 | 1 days 30mg | 3/8/2015 | 5 | horrible migraine | Did not have any negative side effects, took med at 1100pm, it's now 120am. Awake because of the caffeine, but thank god the migraine went away in 30 minutes. You just have to take it at the first sign of the migraine or the nausea caused by the migraine will cause you to bring the medication right back up. This will have to do until I get health insurance for imitrex. | F | 44 | 1 days 250,250,85 | 7/10/2015 | 5 | migraines | I usually don't experience negative side effects with Excedrin Migraine, but I had an awful migraine today and took 2...I feel jittery and like I could throw up Exorcist style.definitely will only take 1 tab from now on. | F | 28 | 1 days 1 tab | 9/30/2014 | 5 | For migraines | Insomnia (caffeine induced) | This is the best, most effective OTC drug for alleviating migraines that I have ever come across - far outperforms any medication that doctors prescribed to me. Throughout a majority of my Army career, Excedrin kept me "vertical" and productive for which I will always be thankful to Bristol-Myers Squibb! | F | 51 | 15 years 250/250/65 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 5 | Migraine/headache | It's the only thing that gets rid of my headaches or migraines. I love this pill. I have developed a tolerance to it and take 2 at the onset of a headache. It has happened almost daily. This has been happening for three months. Within the past week I have been having horrible stomachaches that often lead to diarrhea. I still take excedrin and suffer through the stomach problems. Hopefully it will subside eventually. | F | 27 | 7 days | 5/4/2014 | 5 | Migraine | Upset stomach and vomiting | Definitely gets rid of my migraines however the trade off is a painful stomach. | F | 39 | 1 days | 7/23/2018 | 5 | FIBROMYALGIA PAIN | I have not had any side effects from this medication. | This is the only medication I've found that relieves my fibromyalgia pain. 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 | 5 | Migraine | I have been taking excederin migraine for years. It was always my go to. But today I have been in bed for hours with such severe nausea and belly pains and diarrhea. There is no other explanation. I'm so sad because this headache medicine is the best. I don't know what I'm going to do. I know I'll be fearful of taking this again anytime soon in the future. | I just don't understand why after all these years this would happen? | F | 45 | 0 days 2 pills 1X day | 3/27/2021 | 5 | Headaches | None. | F | 68 | 10 years | 9/5/2012 | 5 | Migraines/headaches | My limbs feel very relaxed.. | These have saved me. I get various types of migraines. I take 2 tablets. It takes about 30 minutes before the pain starts to go away, but once it starts, it's only a few seconds before the pain is completely gone. | F | 38 | 4 years 2 1X AN | 11/8/2012 | 5 | Headaches | I didnt really have any bad side effects. Only good ones. I love excedrin, it makes me feel really good after i take some. I take two every morning or i have a headache for the day and my mood is not as good. I am addicted to it. I hate to be but i am. thanks, | I love excedrin very much. | F | 42 | 5 days | 9/21/2005 | 5 | Severe migranes | I had no side effects at all. | This medicene works great!! I just recently starting getting bad headaches (migranes). I bought Excedrin migrane , and after just about 20-30 mins. after taking it, it really kicked in. My headache was gone for a good part of the day. Better the the RX in was given! Thank you. | F | 34 | 4 days | 11/15/2005 | 5 | Migraines | Nausea, anxiousness, a "floaty" feeling, rapid heartbeat, among others | I get migraines at least 4 times a month, and excedrin works everytime. Unfortunately the side effects really suck, and I don't feel healthy taking it that often since aspirin is bad for your stomach (gives you ulcers), acetaminophen is bad for your liver, and caffeine's addictive and gives you rebound headaches. BTW, you're not supposed to take more than 2 in a 24 hour period, which might explain the increased side-effects some people get (but not me, I follow all the instructions and still get bad side effects). | F | 20 | 3 years | 3/28/2006 | 5 | muscle tension & migraine headaches | Rebound headaches, ringing in ears, heartburn, bad breath, stuffy nose, dry mouth, if used too frequently. | Excedrin is one of only a few drugs that sometimes works for me for severe migraine (lasting days/vomiting, etc.). I overused it years ago and the resulting heartburn forced me to go on another drug to control it. | F | 52 | 30 years | 11/19/2006 | 5 | migraines | no side effects at all | i am very concious about what i take. i usually have side effects from anything i try, however, with this pill i have had no side effects at all abd have been taking them for years. they are the only thing that helps my migraines.i highly reccomend these pills. | F | 30 | 5 years | 8/20/2006 | 5 | For headaches | today I am emotional,nauseous , jittery, have diarrhea, and some abdominal cramping | I love this product, it is the only thing that can wipe out migranes, and if I have to put up with these side effects its worth not having the migrane. I have taken it for many years now, and did not get side effects until recently when I cut caffeine out of my daily routine (i used to drink alot of caffeine on a daily basis). Was relieved to find this site and realize these symptoms are likely from the Excedrin. I will definitely continue taking the Excedrin for migraines! | F | 46 | 1X AN | 11/29/2011 | 5 | Migraine headache | So glad I found this site! I've had terrible gas and stomach bloating, and I just started to wonder if it's the Excedrin. I get migraines if I eat sugary food late; I wake up with a terrible headache and nausea starting. If I take Excedrin immediately, it stops the headache within a half hour. I am too dependent on it. Anyway, with the holiday foods around, I started taking it every 4-5 days before bed ad a preventative. WOW, terrible gas and stomach cramps for days. I made a doctor appt because I got so worried , then today it occurred to me it could be the Excedrin. My experience mirrors many on this site. I will come back and let you all know what the doc at Mass General says on Tuesday. | F | 59 | 4 years | 11/30/2011 | 5 | Migraine | No side effects since I started taking these very very very helpful pills 3 years ago....now I dont know what to take since its a recall nothing else helps with the migraines. Hopefully back on shelf soon. | F | 30 | 3 years | 3/5/2012 | 5 | migraines | increase in energy, nausea, dizziness | F | 41 | 3 years 2x | 1/14/2012 | 5 | I have been taking excedrin products for at least 30 years. I need to take at least two a day to avoid the migraine...if i am awake for more than 90 minutes without taking, i can feel the headache coming on. I was taking 4 - 6 a day for a time but had to stop due to stomach irritation. I do not drink coffee. I joke about having an addiction, but truth is I am in a panic now that there is a recall. There is no substitute. Generics simply do not work. | F | 50 | 2X day | 1/18/2012 |
