 4  MIGRAINE i can hardly breathe, my breathing became shallow and i have to take a deep breath for me to breathe normally... my heart palpitates; feeling nervous and anxious... I'm just 16 and I started taking it when I was 14. Before, I only take paracetamols, but as I grew older paracetamols became insufficient for my body-migraine, so I have to take excedrin..These past few weeks my migraine attacks very often, and I have to take it EVERYDAY so I would be able to do my activities. But every night or even when I'm relaxed, I could feel anxiety, shallow breathing and palpitation of heart... I'm not 100% sure if these given experiences of mine are REALLY side effects of excedrin... F 16 3 years

 4  Migraines Sleep disturbances but very rarely I have been waking up with headaches for many years but over the past 4 they have gotten worse. If I don't treat them immediately, it turns into a migraine (sometimes within minutes). I had been taking imitrex way too much. I started drinking Chai before bed and noticed the decrease of headaches. I wasn't sure if it was the spices or the caffiene. I gave up the Chai and the headached returned. For dietary reasons, I didn't go back to Chai, I started taking one Excedrin Migraine before bed. I have only had 1 headache over the past 6 weeks. No problems with stomach upset and only rarely as sleepless night which could be attributed to stress. F 52 60 days

 3  Migraines Sometimes jitteriness if on an empty stomach. Nothing worse. At first, it worked completely and would quickly cure any headache or migraine. Then I started taking at any slight sign of a headache, to avoid the unexpected migraines. As time went on it started working less and less. Right now I've had a about level 7 headache, almost migraine, for about 19 hours and took two Excedrin Migraine capsules about 9 hours ago, with 0 relief still. After reading here I realize that it is just a normal acetaminophen product with some caffeine. I am making a doctor's appt to approach my migraine problem with a more migraine-worthy medicine.

 2  Monthly Migraines Very shaky nerves, nausea I still had a migraine after the dose. Didn't work for me. I had to lay in bed without moving for it to ease up at the slightest amount. Seems to work for many other people though. F 19 4 times

 5  Migraine Headache It is extremely effective on my headaches and gives me energy. I feel great after taking it. I sometimes get an upset stomach after taking it and sometimes don't. I always take it with a very large meal. If it were not for the small possibility of the stomach upset, I could totally cancel my Sumatriptan prescription. I only take the Sumatriptan if I get a headache at work to be sure my stomach won't get upset but Excedrin is great if I am at home in case I get the stomach upset. F 46 24 years

 5  Headache None yet I'm slightly worried. I took two pills although i have been told to take one, two is always more effective, But after about a 20 minutes i got impatient and took two more. Just to check and make sure i'd be alright i read the bottle. Which said if your an adult take only 2 every 24 hours. I'm not even an adult.. F 14

 3  headaches I am so glad that I found this website. I am feeling a lot of side effects from this medication and was starting to get worried because I didn't know what it was from. My side effects are shakiness, nervousness/anxiety, lower abdominal cramps, stomach aches, rapid heartbeat, and heartburn. This medication works great on my headaches. It takes my headache away and I don't get it back all day long. However, the side effect are too much and I am going to try and find an alternate medication to combat these headaches. F 23 5 days

 5  Headaches/migraines Being jittery, anxious BEST headache medicine ever. This is the only drug that helps my headaches. Also, the caffeine in it gives me an extra energy boost. F 26 4 years

 1  Migraines Nausea and vomitting, stomach upset, jittery and shakes, alertness. I had horrible migraines for 3 yrs and everytime I would take the excederin it helped them go away but this seriously rots your stomach. Often migraines are an underlying problem undiagnosed mine was my gallbladder. Sinuses often play a part too. I will never use excedrin again and my doctor agrees. F 26 365 days

 4  Migraine Headache chest and back pain, hungry, gittery Excedrin is the only thing that works for my headaches. It usually gets rid of the headache in one dose. But when it starts wearing off, the side effects kick in. It must be a caffine withdrawl, I guess. But about 6-8 hours after taking the dose, I get chest pains and upper back pains that last about 8 hours. Better than the headache, but disturbing just the same. F 38 5 years

 5  Headaches and Cramps Relief If taken like the label says, there should be no problems. If you have to take more than 2 tablets a day, you're not doing what the instructions say. The headache should get better, so talk to your doctor before taking more. Those of you that take it on an empty stomach...no comment. It works fine for me because I follow the directions on the label. F 20 1 days

 3  Migraine - was not positionable Nausea, gas, hunger, nervousness, chills, shakes, restlessness, sleepiness yet alertness at the same time. It takes the headache away and replaces it with a massive stomach ache. I am highly sensitive to caffeine so I usually take half of a dose(1 pill). Acetemenophin usually gives me gas anyways, whichever pain killer it is. If my migraine is really bad and doesn't go away for more than an hour, I take 2. I'm also only 108 and in my 20's. TAKE WITH FOOD!!! F 22 4 years

 1  Migraine Several I get severe migraines - I will never touch Excedrin again. I got extremely jittery, weak, shaky and dizzy. My blood pressure felt like it shot up, I had nausea, shallow breathing. And worst of all, I went through all that and it did nothing to relieve the migraine. I felt very close to having a panic attack. I didnt know that one pill has as much caffeine as one cup of coffee and I took 2 pills like the directions say. Took a few hours to really come down what I guess was an extreme caffeine rush - but not in a good way! That was this morning, now its late evening and I still dont quite feel 100%. Do yourself a favour. Take Maxalt - it is expensive but it actually works. F 31

 4  frequent migraines I have had migraines (what my mother and grandmother called sick headaches) since I was a child. As I have gotten older, other over the counter pain killers are not working as effectively as this one. It kills the headache pain quickly so I can go to work, however I do experience some side effects such as shaking in my hands from the caffeine and a terrible stomachache. I am trying to find something that works as effectively, but without the stomach pain. F 42 5 years

 5  Migraine headache My doctor prescribed Maxalt for me and it usually works after a second dose, but I'm very sleepy afterwards. Excedrine Migraine, takes the headache away in about 20 minutes with no drowsiness. It actually gives me energy to continue my day! The only bad thing I have to say is that I always get a terrible burning in my upper stomach region when I take Excedrin Migraine. Even when I think I have eaten enough before I take it, it still burns like crazy! Usually it goes away after I drink milk, or have a milkshake(the coolness of the shake is the best!) I don't know what else to do and because Excedrine Migraine has never let me down I will continue to take it if I'm at work or something and I can't take a medication that will make me sleepy and lethargic.

 1  Migraines I thought i found the miracle drug over the counter for my migraines. It did truly works, instead of feeling sluggish i felt great and full of energy. Unfortunatly now after 2 ER visits i have found that i have burned a whole in my stomach. I have so much pain with anything i can eat or drink now. I felt this coming BUT my headaches are so bad that i couldn't stop taking this product. Now I have it all, extreme head pain especially from the withdrawal of Excederine. Extreme pain of reflux and pain from IBS. I wish i knew how bad the withdrawal from this product would be. If I had of known that this would be this way, i would never have bought Excederine in the first place. It's a very addictive drug!!! PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH GET OFF THIS PRODUCT IT WILL DISTROY YOUR STOMACH FOR LIFE, THE WITHDRAWAL I FEEL NOW IS SOOOOOOO NOT WORTH IT F 44 1 years
