| 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 | 1 | Migraine | I felt SUPER dizzy and nervous | Don't take it, sleep your migraines off | F | 18 | 1 days | 9/21/2016 | 1 | Headache | I woke up from a dead sleep with Intense back and stomach pain about 2 hours after use. Tightness in chest and dizziness. I felt very weird and very short of breath. I also felt very anxious and nervous. | Do not recommend, even if it helps your migraine! | F | 27 | 1 days 1X D | 9/9/2015 | 1 | migraine | I started taking excedrin cause I have really bad headaches. The first couple of times I used it. It worked great. However, by the fifth time I used it i started having major side effects: shortness of breath, stomach pains, dizziness, wanting to throw up, lightheaded, my legs constantly gave out when I tried to walk, fast heartbeats, couldn't sleep. I almost went to the hospital because I didn't know what was happening to my body. It has been three days and my stomach is slight feeling the grief of those two pills. | Do not use this product. It is very dangerous! | F | 26 | 1 days | 8/2/2015 | 1 | Migraine | Nauseous, anxious, fever, chills, diarrhea. Feels like I have the flu, awful feeling | F | 21 | 1 days 2 pills | 8/19/2015 | 1 | all-day headache | I get really bad headaches at work because I stare at a computer screen all day at my job. After about 12 noon I started getting really bad, burning, headache in my left side of my face (eye, neck, face, shoulder) I don't know if it's a migraine or a tension headache but either way this is all I had the choice to take. After about 1 hour, I had really upset stomach, cramps, bubbly stomach(like before diarrhea), super jittery, anxiety, slightly nauseous and lightheadedness/weakness. I am just waiting for the diarrhea since having these bubble guts, and not to mention my headache is just as bad or worse than before I took it, and I only took one. My body feels like I drank 5 red bull. This medicine is horrible. I have stomach problems anyways but definitely will never be taking this ever again...it didn't help, and it made me feel horrible. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight either, I don't know how I could when feeling like this. Terrible, should not even be allowed on the market. I hope it doesn't stay in my blood stream very long. | Only took one pill, didn't help my headache, caused stomach pain/upset (diarrhea, cramps, gas) and dizziness. Felt worse after taking it than before. DO NOT TAKE. | F | 23 | 1 days one pill | 9/28/2015 | 1 | Felt a headache coming on | Took one pill as I thought I was feeling a headache come on, two hours later I thought I was going to pass out. This resulted in my heart racing and I could not lean back or lie down for about an hour without feeling faint. Chest tightness and lightheadedness for the rest of the night. Resulted in a lot of anxiety and still feeling lightheaded and fatigued two days later. | Will never take this again. | F | 24 | 1 days 1 pill | 11/1/2015 | 1 | Headache that would last days. | Stomach pains/cramps, Nausea, Upset stomach, Insomnia, Just stomach pains all together. | Just try something else, I don't recommend,you'll end up getting something worst. its been almost 12 hours since I took them. And I still have the headache. NEVER WILL I TRY THIS AGAIN. | F | 21 | 1 days | 11/8/2015 | 1 | severe headache | Took at night couldn't sleep properly and having bad chest pain the entire day. It seems it has strong side effect. | F | 35 | 1 days 1 | 5/5/2015 | 1 | Headache | Horrible anxiety , getting up walking around not knowing what I'm doing, freaking out not being able to think | I already have anxiety and I think it made it worse I have not stopped having problems since this medicine. I recommend you to deal with your pain than to To ever in your life take this. Your better off I wish they never even made that stupid medication in the first place | F | 15 | 1 days 1/2 a pill | 5/28/2015 | 1 | Migraine | I deal with anxiety and this gave me a panic attack. Shaking, tingling in face, dizzy, nausea, and horrible since of doom and like I was dying. Do not recommend. | F | 21 | 1 days | 5/24/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Migraine | Nausea, worse migraine than before. Shortness of breath and anxiety | Never again! | F | 20 | 1 days 400 mg | 3/13/2016 | 1 | multi-day migraine | Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, anxiety, chills | It made me dizzy and I felt like I needed to lie down (which defeated the purpose of taking it, as I was doing that beforehand but needed to be able to go to a class). I had chills and felt sick to my stomach for two or three days afterwards and couldn't eat much. It was like having a lighter version of the flu. I've never reacted this badly to a medication and was disappointed. | F | 19 | 1 days 1X day | 12/1/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
