| 5 | Migraine | No side effects | One of the best medicines against Migraine!!! | M | 26 | 2 years | 3/20/2007 | 5 | Headache when I wake up | NONE!!!! | This is the best headache medicine in the world!! Kills most types of head pain within 30 minutes of use. | M | 22 | | 3/18/2007 | 5 | Headaches | Occasionally, a little "floaty" feeling if I haven't eaten, just eat a little something and it subsides | I have used Excedrin for many years now for headaches. I get frequent tension headaches, sometimes daily. When I feel the first sign of a headache, I take Excedrin and that normally just takes care of it. If I wake up with a headache, as I do a few times a month, I take Excedrin and lay back down for 20-30 minutes and it is gone. Could not function without this medicine as my headaches can get very bad with a lot of pain and I can't concentrate on daily tasks. Generics don't do the trick, only the real thing. | F | 49 | 15 years | 3/4/2007 | 4 | migraine headaches | Lower abdominal cramping, at times severe. Also, diarrhea. This happens occasionally when I take this drug. It does not happen every time, or I would not take it at all. | Excedrin Migraine took care of the headache rather quickly. I'm not sure if I would rather suffer the headache, or suffer the cramping. | F | 49 | 2 years | 1/21/2007 | 4 | tension headache Migrane pain | mostly with this i feel light headed, nervious, hyper, numb hands unable to think correctly which are fine its a legal drug but makes me feel slightly off which is nice. it also causes dry mouth, sometimes stomach issues. it usually puts me to sleep at night and the next day I can still feel the effects. | it does though take away my tension headaches but have not used it for an actual migrane. its the only thing that i can get my pinched nerves in my neck to relax | M | 31 | 1 years | 1/5/2007 | 4 | Migraine headaches | I have taken Exedrin Migraine just about everyday for about 4 years, I have recently began to experience heartburn and shaky, sweaty hands. I have severe anxiety and am sure that it is linked to the exedrin. Nothing else works for my migraines, so I am forced to endure these side effects. Does anyone know another medication that can help subdue migraines without the caffeine? | F | 28 | 4 years | 12/7/2006 | 2 | Migraine Headache | I took these twice. The first time I took it I had about the worst stomach ache of my life. My headache subsided but I would rather have had the headache back then suffer the horrible stomach pains. I took it a second time, thinking maybe my stomach pains the first time around was due to something I ate. Well I got the stomach pain again and now will never use this awful drug again. Definitely not worth it unless you don't mind excruciating stomach pains. | To treat a migraine, just suffer through that first hour... after that I think they are more bearable. And stay hydrated. | M | 31 | 2 days | 12/5/2006 | 1 | many years of gettin migraines | ok if take only one but if taken more than two or three times in a week very bad tummy aches like it feels like a hole in my tummy also very bad fluid retention and light headed feeling but it takes the headache away so why does it have these side effects | dont drink alcohol just before you take this drug not a good combo you really feel lousy after | F | 58 | 5 years | 11/23/2006 | 5 | muscle tension & migraine headaches | Rebound headaches, ringing in ears, heartburn, bad breath, stuffy nose, dry mouth, if used too frequently. | Excedrin is one of only a few drugs that sometimes works for me for severe migraine (lasting days/vomiting, etc.). I overused it years ago and the resulting heartburn forced me to go on another drug to control it. | F | 52 | 30 years | 11/19/2006 | 3 | I get biweekly migaines | I experience shaky hands (a result from the caffeiene) and I feel very jumpy after I take excedrin, within 45minutes to 2 hours after I take it. I may have these shaky feelings even before my throbbing temple subsides- which doesn't make me feel very good. I often feel nauseas from Excedrin, but in the end it does rid me of it. | I take Excedrin almost too often and I'm a prime candidate for rebound headaches because of it. So far Excedrin is the easiest way to rid myself of migraines- and the cheapest. | F | 18 | 8 months | 10/3/2006 | 5 | migraines | no side effects at all | i am very concious about what i take. i usually have side effects from anything i try, however, with this pill i have had no side effects at all abd have been taking them for years. they are the only thing that helps my migraines.i highly reccomend these pills. | F | 30 | 5 years | 8/20/2006 | 1 | Imitrex rx ran out | severe nausea and sweating. lessened the pain but did not make it go away. sensitivity to light, sound, smell still present. | It is the same exact formula as Extra Strength Excedrin, which irritates me because they are making so much $$$ from taking an existing product of theirs and putting the word "migraine" on it. | F | 30 | 1 days | 7/13/2006 | 1 | migraines | causes rebound headaces, mild stomch and chest pain, and dizziness. | At first it worked great, but my boby grew tolernt to this drup fast so i had to o/d to get ride of the migraine. It may work for mild pain, but nothing worse. | F | 18 | 5 months | 7/8/2006 | 1 | Severe stomach pain | Nothing else knocks out a headache as effectively, but the intense and persistent stomach pain is NOT WORTH IT. One dose is guaranteed to give me seven days' worth of awful gnawing stomach pain. Every few months I slip up and take some for a bad headache, and I regret it the following week because I have a hard time functioning. | F | 23 | 8 years | 5/22/2006 | 5 | Severe Migraine Headaches | Lone term use, no side effects. I was wondering about liver damage because my feet were swelling and I have gained a lot of weight recently . I haven't gone to the doctor yet for tests. I love this product. It worked better than the doctors perscription everytime. I can't live without it. I get migraines like clockwork, every time before / during my period. If i don't take the excedrin, I am on the floor in a ball because my head hurts too bad to function. If i take excedrin as soon as my vision acts strangly, my migraine becomes a slight problem instead of a huge problem for everyone around me. | F | 37 | 6 years | 5/7/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Nausea, anxiousness, a "floaty" feeling, rapid heartbeat, among others | I get migraines at least 4 times a month, and excedrin works everytime. Unfortunately the side effects really suck, and I don't feel healthy taking it that often since aspirin is bad for your stomach (gives you ulcers), acetaminophen is bad for your liver, and caffeine's addictive and gives you rebound headaches. BTW, you're not supposed to take more than 2 in a 24 hour period, which might explain the increased side-effects some people get (but not me, I follow all the instructions and still get bad side effects). | F | 20 | 3 years | 3/28/2006 | 5 | Severe migranes | I had no side effects at all. | This medicene works great!! I just recently starting getting bad headaches (migranes). I bought Excedrin migrane , and after just about 20-30 mins. after taking it, it really kicked in. My headache was gone for a good part of the day. Better the the RX in was given! Thank you. | F | 34 | 4 days | 11/15/2005 | 4 | sinus head pain and congestion | kept me jittery and awake all night bc I took it too late at like 930 I am still feeling it now and its 636am | pain etc went away first time taking it. next time I will have to get excedrin PM | F | 23 | 1 days | 11/10/2005 | 5 | Headaches, body aches | 9 times out of 10 it rids me of my headache. When it doesn't I supplement it with a dab behind the ears and back of the neck with therapeutic grade lavendar essential oils. Actually the lavendar works every time even for migraines, but being old school there's more psychological boost from the little white pills. Just concerned on side effects if taken daily or multiple time per week. Haven't seen anything except on the acetametaphin is known to affect the liver in high doses. Not sure what high is though. Bottom line - good stuff. If it doesn't quite do it, try lavendar. | M | 47 | 2 years | 9/27/2005 | 5 | Headaches | I didnt really have any bad side effects. Only good ones. I love excedrin, it makes me feel really good after i take some. I take two every morning or i have a headache for the day and my mood is not as good. I am addicted to it. I hate to be but i am. thanks, | I love excedrin very much. | F | 42 | 5 days | 9/21/2005 |
