| 3 | Headache | I have been experiencing head pain/tension headaches nonstop for a week now. I have visited the doctor and nothing seemed to work. I was recommended this and it took my pain away as far as I can tell but it has made it extremely difficult to sleep. It feels like I'm falling every time I even close my eyes. I haven't been able to sleep at all and it's three am. When I do manage to ignore the feeling, it makes me feel I'm extremely close to something high up and makes me feel disoriented (if that makes sense). Im not entirely sure what to call this experience but it doesn't feel great | M | 28 | 0 days 2 1X day | 8/17/2026 | 1 | Migraine | I will NEVER take this again. It's been three days and my belly is still raw. I took only one pill of the tension headache one, and thought I was dying. The belly pain was SO INTENSE, diarrhea so much and it was the worst experience ever. With all similar complaints here, this should be removed from the shelves. | Something I thought I could rely on and I have taken the Excedrin migraine before same experience so I bought the tension one and SAME THING. I only bought the tension one so I wouldn't get the same result as the Excedrin migraine One. | F | 70 | 1 days 1 1X day | 11/24/2025 | 1 | Migraine headache | Extreme nausea, vomiting, anxiety and rapid heartbeat | F | 51 | 1 days 250 MG 2X day | 6/6/2023 | 1 | Migraine | I had a migraine and decided to take 1 pill, about an hour later it had not completely gone away, I ate and too another one. The biggest mistake of my life. About 2 hours later I thought I was going to die.. I had never in my life had such a stomachache. My back was hurting. I was shivering. I was cold I was extremely nauseous. My heart rate was high. I had anxiety.. it's been about 15 hours and I still haven't been able to get up from bed. I will never as long as I live. Take this medication again I used to be able to take it when I was younger never had a problem. I'm not sure what they changed but it definitely does not benefit me. I'd rather deal with a migraine, 100 times over and taking these pills again. | Horrible. Not worth taking. | F | 47 | 1 days 1X day | 12/19/2022 | 3 | Migraine | I used to take Excedrin when I was a little bit younger and it helped significantly with headaches and migraines. these days I don't medicate, but Recently I took it for a migraine that lasted a couple days. I noticed that my body became shaky, my heart rate skyrocketed and stayed above 110 for 4 hours and it made me very nauseous. It also made me feel “out of it” and very tired which i think it because my heart is working so hard it's as if i went for a 5 mile run. If you have anxiety, I highly recommend taking something else. | F | 25 | 2 days 500 MG 1X day | 11/30/2022 | 1 | Migraine | Took Excedrin migraine today due to a migraine at work and shortly after I was feeling extreme anxiety, I felt like I was going to pass out I had to find a bathroom and calm myself down, heart was pounding, dizzy and disoriented. I've had panic attacks in the past but this was so different. I will never take this medication again. I'll suffer through a migraine first. | F | 32 | 0 days 2 tablets 1X day | 11/2/2022 | 1 | Headache | Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, insomnia, stomach pain | So so so bad | F | 33 | 0 days 2 tabs 1X day | 5/28/2022 | 2 | Head ache | Head ache went away after about 30 minutes, felt great, than about 2 hours later I believe, just felt so fuzzy and was unable to concentrate, then the anxiety started to rise up and I had a panic attack, felt so jittery and had to pace around and was breathing shallow. Massive feelings of worry, and feeling like was gonna die. This did not happen when I take medication with acetaminophen WITHOUT caffeine. | Would be very cautious if prone to anxiety | M | 20 | 1 days 2 capsules 1X day | 2/1/2022 | 2 | Bad migraine | I had a terrible migraine yesterday afternoon. It was centered behind my left eye and temple. My eye was twitching it was so bad, and I got nauseated and dizzy when I got off the couch. I took one Excedrin pill with dinner hoping to get rid of it. My migraine did lessen and eventually disappeared, but then I paid a steep price. Within a few hours my stomach felt like I had been punched. I started getting nauseous and alternatively was sweating and getting the chills. The stomach pain intensified through the night. I couldn't sleep. It burned like I drank battery acid. My stomach bloated up and I full on had the chills. I had to take 6 chewable antacids at 3 am just to get the pain to a tolerable enough level to sleep. But the chills continued all night, and I tossed and turned. The pain was intense when I woke up 4 hours later, so I took 2 more antacids. I'm miserable. I have no idea how long this agony is going to last. I will never take this medicine again. Thank the Lord I only took one. I can't imagine what two would have done to me. I hope I don't have an ulcer after this. Between the stomach pain and the migraine, I would rather deal with the migraine. Beware! | F | 33 | 1 times 1 pill 1X O | 1/25/2022 | 2 | Migraine | I've taken this on and off for the past few years when my migraines get really bad and have nothing else. Every time without fail I get excruciating stomach pain and diarrhea. Although it helps the migraines rather quickly, the pain isn't worth it. The amount of food or water ingested before hand doesn't affect the pain, it all just comes out. I'm not sure what's causing it, because I've had all the ingredients separately before (caffeine, aspirin, acetaminophen), perhaps together my stomach can't handle it. | F | 21 | 3 years 1 pill 1X day | 1/22/2022 | 1 | Migraine | As many have mentioned, I used to take this years ago. I thought it would help today. Headache gone, but my stomach pain is SEVERE! It brought on an anxiety attack. I have been nauseous for hours. I will never take this again! | F | 37 | 1 days 1 1X day | 11/30/2021 | 2 | Migraine | INTENSE stomach ache and heartburn. This is my first time taking this medicine as I have only recently developed migraines. This medicine upset my stomach so much and gave me intense heartburn to the point I will not ever take this again. I took it with a full glass of water and not on an empty stomach and took two pills as listed on the bottle. I would say if you have a sensitive stomach do not take this | F | 23 | 1 days 2 pills 1X day | 11/20/2021 | 1 | migraine | nausea, almost instant vomiting, painful bowel | F | 25 | 1 days 1pill 1X day | 10/24/2021 | 1 | Migraine | HORRIBLE! I have been having a migraine for a couple days now. I decided to take one pill and man o man dizzy, nauseous, shakey, nervous, blurry vision, and panic attack is horrible. | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 10/7/2021 | 1 | Headache | upset stomach, anxiety, sweating, chills, weakness | I took this for the first time to help a Sunday morning headache I woke up with. I drank a whole glass of water with the full dosage but didn't eat breakfast yet. Maybe ~2 hours after I started to get an upset stomach but didn't think anything of it because I already have a sensitive stomach. Throughout the day I was on and off warm even though in my house with AC. By 6pm that day I started to feel really cold and got the chills all night. The next morning it never clicked it was the excedrin causing it so I took 2 more to act as fever reducers since there's acetametaphin and the side effects persisted but now adding in anxiety, sweating, and general weakness. I had to leave work early I felt extremely ill and needed to rest. I don't think I took an afternoon dose and went to sleep feeling better. The next morning I took 2 more at 8AM to have a good work day (STILL not realizing it was the excedrin causing the issues) and I profusely sweat from approx 9am-1:30pm to the point I had to sit on a beach towel. I felt way better in the afternoon and wanted a good sleep and prevent oncoming period cramps, I take 2 more before bed at 10pm and the sweating started again. That's when it finally clicked and I haven't taken any since. It's currently 7pm (21 hours since last dosage) and I felt back to normal all day until 4pm ish and my stomach ache came back | F | 23 | 3 days 2 2X day | 9/22/2021 | 1 | Migraine | Worst belly ache ever | I used to take this always for my headaches/migraines without a problem. Not now | F | 56 | 1 times 2 tablets 2X W | 7/24/2021 | 1 | Headache | SEVERE anxiety, numbness in arms, legs and face, confusion, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, dizzy, trouble speaking, loss of coordination | NEVER take this medication. This was the worst experience Ive ever had with a medicine. I probably should have gone to the hospital but didnt. Its been around 12 hours since I took it and I still havent gotten out of bed. Literally worst experience Ive ever had, terrifying feeling! Stay away!!! | M | 29 | 1 days 65mg 1X O | 7/23/2021 | 1 | Hangover | I woke up with a killer hangover and decided to take something to cure it. I had never taken this before and made the mistake of taking 3. A few hours later, oh god. Worst anxiety of my life, I was panicking and felt like I was gonna pass out. The scariest part is I didn't know what was wrong with, I didn't realize til later that it was the medicine. Stomach was churning a lot bit and I was nauseous but it the anxiety was by far the worst part. | M | 21 | 0 days 1X day | 3/28/2021 | 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 | 3 | Headache/migraine | For over a year I've had terrible unrelenting chills; nausea especially at night. I never correlated the chills with Excedrin as I have auto immune issues. Was off Excedrin for a couple of weeks and the chills subsided. Took one a couple of hours ago and just woke up with shaking chills. I'm so disappointed because the Excedrin really knocks out my migraines. | I gave it a 3 because it works on my headaches but the side effects are forcing me to look for something else to take. | F | 66 | 2 years 1 capsule 1X AN | 3/25/2021 |
