| 3 | Tried Excedrin and Excedrin Migrain | Dizzy, Anxiety,heavy head, ear pain at times on one side but not always.Dont feel like eating, ect. | Ok, what the heck did they do to the Excedrin?? I never use to feel like this and have taken it for years until they took it off the market. The taste of it is even different then it use to be and im so unhappy with it now. Bring back the old Excedrin's as most of us don't like the new one at all. | F | 51 | 30 years 2 tablets 1X day | 3/14/2013 | 1 | Migraine headaches | I used to take excedrin migraine for years before I was prescribed Maxalt....I noticed it was recalled in 2011. Well last month I noticed it was back on the shelves and bought a bottle....well after taking 1for a migraine I got the worst pain in my upper stomach! It felt like like a knife in my stomach! I wanted to cry! Never taking this again! !! What did they change? | F | 39 | 10 years | 1/7/2013 | 1 | Headache | Freezing, Nauseous, and diarrhea | M | 42 | 1 days 1 pill | 1/3/2013 | 1 | headache | Cold flashes, nervousness, nausea , sweating, headache, vomiting, HORRIBLE ANXIETY feltl like I was dying. DO NOT USE!!!!!!! | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/19/2012 | 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 | 4 | Major migraines | After taking this I experience extreme numbness, feeling like I'm going to puke, drousy, but I don't get the gitters at all ( I am fairly tolerate to caffeine ). After taking this and after the migraine goes away my head feelers really packed. | Today I got another migraine, it was at school and started at the beiging of first period and I can tell cause parts of my eyes start going blind befor the pain, I mean really blind it takes me 5 min to read a simple sentence the the pain kicks in and it's a painfull blunt pain. I dug up two tablets outta my purse and drunk them with water ( on and empty stomach) people say when I get migraines I slur my words and say sentances back words idk if this is the med or just the pain makes me think weird. Normally after I take the med I drink a diet coke, then take a nap, I didn't get any coke but I slept mostly the next two periods . I felt better by the end of the3rd period. This drug was good but it's scary some people can get addicted but I would ever take it more then I have to because I hate that sick feeling it gives me and its just scary..............but it still works! | F | 14 | 1 years 2X30 mg 1X AN | 10/25/2012 | 5 | Headaches | None. | F | 68 | 10 years | 9/5/2012 | 3 | Migraine headache | Extreme stomach pain - cramping and burning. | F | 32 | 1 days Regular do | 8/19/2012 | 2 | migraine headache | sick on stomach, stomach cramps, chills, dizzy, can't sleep | I take EM instead of Percocet at times for migraine headaches. I just realized that it is the EM that has caused me to feel so terribly ill like I have a severe case of the flu. I cannot wait for this to pass. I feel like I want to die and trust me my migraines are so terrible...I'm use to pain. I've even had brain surgery but this feeling of being dizzy, feeling sick on my stomach, gums ache, heart racing is the worst ever. It takes the migraine away but what it does to my body is awful. I will not take this again. For those of you who have no problems..you are truly blessed. This is absolutely horrible. | F | 52 | 1X day | 8/10/2012 | 4 | migraine | Do not take before bedtime! I can't sleep after taking it and I get stomach cramps also. Even when I eat before it causes diarrhea. It did take my migraine away though so if I have to suffer these side effects for migraine relief....so be it. | F | 39 | 2 days 2 pills | 8/8/2012 | 1 | Normal migraine | Sleeplessness, tightening of the chest, abdominal pain, heart was racing, and increased respirations. | I took this pill right before bed around 11 pm. I had a bowl of popcorn before but apparently that wasn't enough food. I woke up at least once every hour and tossed and turned all night. Felt like I could not sit still. I woke up around 10am and there was a tight feeling in my chest and my heart was beating double time. Never again will I be taking this medication. I'd rather suffer a migraine than feel like my hearts gonna explode. | F | 18 | 1 days 1 tablet. 1X day | 7/27/2012 | 1 | a week long headache | Horrible stomach cramps and burning sensation about 2 hrs after i took one tablet. I feel like i'm going to throw up. It's kinda hard to focus. I also feel hot and cold. This happened to me 7 years ago, and i swore i'd never take it again. but I couldn't stand my headache any longer and all that anyone had at the office was excedrin. gahhh, luckily no headache, but not worth the stomach pain. | headache gone---- now faced with Horrible ( i mean Horrible) stomach Pain. | F | 27 | 1 days 1 tablet 1X day | 6/26/2012 | 5 | Severe headache | Sleepiness , but the headache went away after suffering 3 days | F | 44 | 1 days Half dose | 6/13/2012 | 1 | Migraine | sever nausea, stomach aches, weakness, cold chills, lightheaded, heart burn,and utter panic!! | I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN!! I took 1 pill a few days back and a day later i thought i had food poisoning and was in bed for 2 days due to nausea and weakness! I took 2 pills this evening and immediately i started to feel very ill! I thought it was something id eaten but nobody else was sick in my house and we all ate the same thing. I even tried making myself throw up hoping i would feel better! Then it dawned on me I had taken EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE so i got the bottle and read the side effects, then got on line to find out more info. about this product!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ALLOWED TO SELL THIS OVER THE COUNTER!! I'M EITHER TAKING THIS MEDICATION BACK TO THE STORE FOR A REFUND OR THROWING IT DOWN MY TOILET!! ILL SUFFER WITH MY HEADACHE NEXT TIME!! | F | 43 | 1 times 2X AN | 6/1/2012 | 1 | MIGRAINE | Vertigo, diarrhea, anxiety, burning fiery pain through jaw and temple, inability to function due to mental confusion, fatigue-lethargy, blood in stool, lack of emotional control and the list goes on. | F | 40 | 1.5 years 1 1X day | 5/18/2012 | 5 | Migraine preventive and for migrain | None extreme, Nausea only sometimes. | F | 59 | 2 days 2 x day | 5/14/2012 | 3 | migraine | Nausea, stomachaches, jittery, hyperness, unable to sleep | I only take Excedrin Migraine when I actually get migraines, and I always take 2, never more than 2 in a single day. For me, it's hit or miss. Sometimes it works great and only leaves me a bit jittery but feeling better in 20 minutes to a half hour, other times it takes more than an hour to kick in and leaves me with this nasty feeling in my stomach like its ripping itself apart and I wanna throw up, sometimes making me feel worse off and wishing I just dealt with the migraine and tried to sleep instead. I get horrible migraines that make me throw up and excedrin migraine so far has been the only thing that worked, unfortunately, which leaves me with a sort of love-hate relationship.If you're going to take it, always take it after eating food, never take it on an empty stomach, it will only amplify the side effects. And when you take it, avoid any and all caffeine, as these pills are like drinking 2 cups of coffee. Hell, avoid anything that even bears a slight resemblance to caffeine. Don't get too dependent on it, find your triggers unless you wanna end up like me, groaning on the couch and unable to sleep switching between reruns of whatever is on Adult Swim and Inception at 3AM. | M | 23 | 2 years 2 pills 1X day | 4/21/2012 | 5 | Migraines | None.very happy with it.worked like a dream.but back and body made me sick.was way too strong. | F | 47 | 10 years 2 | 4/3/2012 | 5 | Headache menstual cramps | Only slight shaking from the energy it gave me. Great product! The review before mine was wrong. You're only supposed to take 2 pills every 6 hrs!!! Not 10 pills in 9 hrs!!! That's why you would throw up because of overdose. Be careful how much you take | F | 17 | 1 times 2 | 3/30/2012 | 5 | Classic Migraines | I didn't experience any side effects. | I get classic migraines where I can't see out of 1 eye and everything is hazy for about 20 minutes and I have no pain. Then it feels like someone hit me in the head with a hammer. I've taken prescription migraine pills & they make me sicker than the headache. If I take EM when I start to lose my vision. the headache hardly manifests & starts to go away in about 20 min. If I take it when the headache has already started, it still goes away in 2-3 hours, otherwise I can have it for 2 days. Wish they would hurry and bring it back. | F | 61 | 4 years 30MG 2X AN | 3/20/2012 |
