| 4 | migraine | I used to have no side effects, worked great for my migraines. Since it was pulled from the market and has come back, I get horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea for hours! Takes care of the migraine most of the time, but then I suffer other ways. | F | 41 | 1 days 2 caps 1xd | 8/5/2014 | 1 | Doctor recommended for migraines | Took 1 tablet at 10pm with no relief. Took another at 11pm. Awake till 2am. Up at 5am with severe burning bloating pain that started in the center near belly button, then widespread from pelvis to under rib cage. Nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure (212/116), mega tingling in feet and hands, vision impaired, breathing deep, slight chest pain, head pain, nervous, dizzy.. | Did not see any "caution" comments on box about any of this. When I googled "Excedrine Migraine side effects, I was astounded that they know about all this and fail to warn the consumers. Looking at all these remarks, I see nothing on how to combat all the pain. I called the 800 number on the box and I have to call back during business hours. I needed help for the pain relief NOW... not during your business hours. I almost went to the ER. I suffered 40 hours with severe pain. Never again. I will get a refund and I will contact the makers of this product. Shame on you!!!!! Knowingly cause pain to people. | F | 59 | 1 days 2X day | 8/2/2014 | 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 | 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 | 3 | terrible migraines | After taking Excedrin Migraine pills, my migraine is gone within 15 minutes. My side effects are insomnia, upset stomach/nauseous, jittery, and light headedness. Being pain free outweighs the negative side effects most of the time. | F | 20 | 5 years 500mg | 6/22/2014 | 2 | severe migraines | It took about an hour to start relieving my migraine. Then I became very dizzy and light headed. Then came the chest and neck pains, which spread to my left arm. I kept waking up during the night and was extremely hyper. In the morning I had stomach and kidney pain that was so severe I could not walk. Then I had trouble breathing. I would not recommend this drug..EVER! | F | 29 | 1 days 2 tablets | 6/11/2014 | 4 | For migraine headaches | Excedrin migraine works great in alleviating my migraine headaches. When i do take the pill(s) however, I tend to experience moderate to severe stomach pain in addition to feeling lightheaded and nauseated. I never take the pill on an empty stomach so I have no idea why this happens and I even decrease my dosage to one pill but still experience side effects. But like I said..it relieves my headaches faster than anything i've ever tried so that's why i endure the side effects and only use it for severe migraines. | F | 27 | 5 years 2 pills | 5/5/2014 | 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.

Hopefully it will subside eventually. | F | 27 | 7 days | 5/4/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Severe cramping, diarrhea, Severe cramping, bloody stools, had to postpone all activities.

However, if I take a dose more than once a week or every 10 days, I get terrible stomach cramping followed by explosive diarrhea. | F | 50 | 2 days 1X day | 4/24/2014 | 1 | Migraine | The good thing about this drug is that it provides fast reflief of the MIGRAINE within 30 minutes. However, I was soon flooded with feelings of fear, paranoia, nausea, chest pains and tightness, persistent chills and sweating, insomnia, anxiety and a queasy stomach. | F | 22 | 1 days 1X day | 3/25/2014 | 3 | migraine | Racing heart, fatigue, heart palpitations so bad I had to cough to help stop it.

This is such a terrible feeling there is blood in my stools and TERRIBLE stomach pain. I will NEVER take this again. | F | 33 | 1 days | 1/17/2014 | 2 | Had a headache for 3 days | I knew that the pills had 65 mg of caffeine in them so I wasn't worried about getting hyper anything like that. I was prepared. I took one and 2 hours later I started getting chills, blacking out, my legs were weak, I got a fever of 102.5 and I was really tired. I thought I had food poisoning. The worst part was it felt like my nervous system was attacking me. It felt like I had severe sharp pains all over my body, I could barely walk. today is the next day and my headache is incredibly worse than yesterday. And my fever is 101. I'm supposed to work all day today and now I can't. I would not recommend anybody taking thiS. I gave it A 2 rating because it did take away my headache. But not worth it with all the other side effects. | F | 30 | 1 days 1 pill | 1/16/2014 | 5 | migraine headaches | None thank you god for accepting this Drug for me :-)))) | M | 50 | 1 times 60mg | 1/11/2014 |
