| 1 | migraine | I was fine for the first day. The second day I had this uncomfortable feeling in my throat. I thought it might be attributed to my stiff neck but it kept getting worse and I started shaking like I had the chills. I stopped taking it and started taking benadryl. It got rid of my headache but not worth the possibility of anaphylaxis. | F | 32 | 2 days 2 pills | 12/15/2013 | 3 | Really bad migraines | This is literally the only non prescription medicine that helps my migraines. They're gone in usually 30 minutes but recently I've been getting negative side effects like racing heart, chest pain, nausea and trouble sleeping I'm assuming because of the caffeine. I've never had any bad experiences with exedrin until now so I don't know if I will stop taking it because it's been so effective for me. | F | 17 | 2 years 2 tablets | 12/13/2013 | 1 | took two pills for migraine | extreme stomach pain, diarrhea, bloating, cramping, nausea , fast heart beat | F | 39 | 1 days 30 | 11/22/2013 | 1 | headach | It took a while for my headach to go away it made me feel really dizzy and it made my stomach hurt. I never want to ta ke it again. I took two pills not sure how many mg it was though. | F | 19 | 1 days | 10/16/2013 | 1 | For my migraine headache | It would give me a painful upset stomach! Raised my blood pressure! | F | 36 | 1 days | 8/5/2013 | 1 | back pains | My tummy hurts!!! | F | 15 | 1 days 30mg | 7/26/2013 | 3 | Migraine | After a while, maybe 30 minutes, my whole left arm started to tingle and my fingers became extremely numb and I started shaking. This got significantly better after about 5 minutes, but shortly after that I felt really nautious. After a short while I decided to eat a bagel which sort of helped, but still had a horrible migraine. After resting for another 20 minutes, my headache started to slowly get better. Keep in mind that I am probably a little young for the dosage that I took (sorry, I don't know how many mgs are in two adult pills). | F | 16 | 1 days 2 pills 1X AN | 7/17/2013 | 2 | Chronic migraines | I have been taking this occasionally for years as an alternative to my prescription imitrex which usually works great but after a week of migraines I have rebound headaches just from the imitrex so I have to use something else. Normally I am just a bit jittery but this time I had upset stomach and diarrhea. Definitely not worth it since it barely helps the pain. Would rather take a legit painkiller like Vicodin or something that doesn't cause this reaction. | F | 28 | 1 days 2 caps | 7/3/2013 | 1 | Neck pain | Fells like my stomach is being ripped apart. Then my bowl movements turned black...my stomach was bleeding. I stopped and the bleeding stopped. I only took as described on back of bottle. This pill helps my pain, but is so hard on my stomach. | F | 33 | 2 years 1X day | 6/24/2013 | 1 | Headache | I took excedrin for my headache when they brought it back on the market because in the pass it was the only medicine that got rid of my headache but when I took it this time I started with a really bad stomach ache then nausea, then I started vomiting. I thought maybe it was something I ate so I dismissed it. Three weeks later, today, I took one tablet and again I started vomiting. I'm throwing the bottle away and never taking Excedrin again. Oh yeah, my headache never went away. | F | 26 | 1 days 250 mg | 6/21/2013 | 2 | headache | This new formula is terrible. I feels like you have taken poison. | I loved Excedrin before it was recalled. I could take half a pill and my headache would go away. The new Excedrin smells different and you can't just break them in half (which shows they aren't the same ingredients as before). And when I take them I feel like I've just taken a bit of poison. I switched to generic and stopped feeling poisoned, I thought I'd try Excedrin again and I'm feeling weird and slightly poisoned again. Not good. Why the heck would they change a drug that people liked so much?! In the past if someone had headaches it was almost guaranteed that they would have Excedrin in their bag. Not anymore. | F | 42 | 20 years 1X day | 6/11/2013 | 2 | Migraine | Had taken a Max-Alt, bug the headache came back 5 hours later, and didn't have any more on me. Took EM on a full stomach. Horrid stomach pain. Started with gas, so took some Gas-x (okayed this with pharmacist), but my stomach still feels like death. | F | 30 | 1 days | 5/28/2013 | 3 | Ocular Migraine | Auras and pain were taken care of, but the next morning, less than 12 hours later, I was dizzy and nauseous. Possibly still remnants of the ocular migraine, but I've never experienced this sort of "postdrome" before. | F | 28 | 2 months 1 1X AN | 5/23/2013 | 1 | migraine | Severe upper stomach pain after only taking one pill..its been 2 days since I took that pill and the pain is still here...my bottle of excedrin is In the trash and I would not recommend anyone taking this!! | F | 26 | 1 days 1 | 5/11/2013 | 4 | Migraine | Light headed, jitters, burning sensation in stomach and insomnia | After taking for years, I've determined in order not to have jitters, Get light headed or burning in the stomach...i can only take it after eating 3 meals. Unless I am absolutely exhausted, I will be up all night. It does work like a charm if taken within the firtst hour of pain. My doctor has perscribed Maxalt which works extremely well, but is really expensive and I can't afford to take 10-15 times a month. So I've learned to work with the excedrine. | F | 56 | 18 years 2X W | 5/10/2013 | 1 | Bad migraine | DO NOT TAKE THIS!!!! I took 2 pills last night around 8pm and around 10pm I started feeling jittery, swelling in my throat, heart racing/slow at times, slow breathing, fatigue, sweating but had chills, hyper, pupils were big, stomach pain, weird taste in my mouth. It's 2:55pm (next day)and still feeling like this!! Horrible!! Can't believe they put this piece of crap in stores so ppl can overdose on these!! It's extreme poisoning!! I'm not ever taking these ever again! Fuck u ppl who make EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE!! | F | 23 | 1 days 1 | 4/27/2013 | 1 | For my horrible headaches | Heavy headed. I feel like I have a head full of embalming fluid. My headache doesn't even go away with one dosage anymore. | Before the recall of excedrin, I was so happy that there was a pill out there that could help me become pain free. Tylenol didn't help, nor Advil, nor aleve... Nothing helped me. Excedrin was a miracle drug. When it came back to the shelves I was ecstatic! When I took them for my headache for the first time since recall I notice the pills are no longer sour in taste but sweet... That's when I knew they were gonna be different. They never worked for my headache :(. Excedrin used to take away my headache within 15 mins of taking them and now they are useless. I'm so pissed because this recall was fake they just wanted to change the pill for god knows what. Now I am gonna have to search for something else. Excedrin migraine never worked for me I always used to get relief using excedrin extra strength the green and white boxed one. I think the real excedrin owner prolly died with the secret ingredient or sold the company to some dipshit who dont care about us sufferers cause this new excedrin is an epic fail! | F | 25 | 2 Pills 1X day | 4/12/2013 | 5 | Migraine | Thirsty(intended though to make you consume water), sleeplessness(again, intended because of the caffeine in it), jittery when taken without food(typical for any medicine) | M | 25 | 10 years 2 tablets | 4/9/2013 | 1 | bad headache | I have been up all night suffering from a bloating, stomach buring and hurting, throwing up ... this bull shit needs to be banned from store ... think I need to go to the ER ! | F | 26 | 1 days 1 | 3/21/2013 | 1 | Migraine | Nausea, stomach pain, light headed | this is my second time taking it. the first time i thought i had food poisoning but now that i took it again &same thing happening i came to the conclusion it is the pills. it will be my last time taking it. everybody is different. to each their own. | F | 21 | 2 1X day | 3/20/2013 |
