| 1 | Headache | Horrible stomach pain 3 hours later. Dizziness, tingling and numbness in hands, chills, sweating, lightheadedness, panic attack, heart racing, finally diarrhea. Frightening experience! | F | 46 | 1 days | 1/2/2015 | 5 | Tension Headache | I LOVE Excedrin. It's the only thing that works on my headaches. My whole family takes it. I can't take regular Excedrin with the aspirin because it upsets my stomach. I had a really bad migraine a few weeks ago and I took 1 1/2. If I take 2, it makes me to shaky. That's why you should only take 1. If one doesn't help withing an hour, take another 1/2 a pill. Taking 2 will make you jumpy and your heart races. Its from the caffeine in the medicine. I also take it with a little bit of soda that has caffeine in it, it works even faster that way. | F | 46 | 1X AN | 12/30/2014 | 2 | Headache | I think my husband had an allergic reaction to excedrin migraine. Last night, he took one for the first time to combat a headache. About an hour passed and he started getting extremely lightheaded and confused. Blood pressure was fine but breathing slowed and lightheadedness worsened. He sat down saying his body felt weird and he felt like he was anxious. Thinking that it was a possibility he may be allergic, I gave him one benadryl capsule. After benadryl began to work, he started getting back to his old self again. | My experiences have been fine with excedrin; however, I can only take one instead of two or else I get very jittery. | M | 36 | 1 days 1X day | 12/22/2014 | 1 | For a migraine | Diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, bloating, pain, gas, bloody stools. | First time using it, was headed out with friends, didn't realize it had aspirin. I have a stomach ulcer and was not told about avoiding it. When I was younger aspirin made me feel sick so I never took it. Unfortunately I had 2 drinks and started to feel bad in about 1 hr. I wouldn't have taken it had I read the directions! Rushing! DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT...READ THE OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS!!!! | F | 45 | 1 days 2 caplets 2X day | 12/20/2014 | 1 | Light headache | I took this pill in the morning when I woke up with a slight headache and my husband had these in his drawer. Well, I ate a few crackers and I took 2 pills. 30 mins later I started feeling weird and disconnected and irritable. 30 mins after that.. FULL ON panic attack. Legs going numb, can't think straight, trouble speaking, tight chest, nausea, black stool, terrible terrible drug in my opinion. Maybe for people that suffer for migraines but plz don't take this medication if u don't have to. I have slight anxiety but have never had a full on anxiety attack until today thanks to excedrin. | Worse experience of my life. | F | 27 | 1 days | 12/18/2014 | 1 | Headache | Extremely WEAK!!!!! Stomach pain, unable to stand and sit up. | This medicine kept me in bed all weekend. I would have rather keep my headache than go thru what I suffered after taking this medicine!!!! | F | 29 | 1 days | 12/6/2014 | 1 | Tension Headaches | Took this for tension headaches, and it did WONDERS...until it wore off and the anxiety set in. About 4 hours after taking it, I was miserable. Sweats, followed by chills, paranoia, restlessness, etc... I'd rather have the dull headaches then deal with this. | M | 29 | 1 days | 12/2/2014 | 1 | Headache | This stuff should be taken off the market. My father in law gave me two pills to take because I was suffering from a horrible headache. I should have asked questions but the pain was so bad I took them anyway. First complaint is I have not slept all night, it is now 6am and I still feel like my heart is racing. Can't breathe very well at all. Next is I have horrific heartburn, even worse than when I was pregnant. Followed by diharrea. Feeling weak, stomach upset no appetite. The makers of this product should be ashamed of themselves. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this product. | F | 33 | 1 days 2 | 11/30/2014 | 3 | migraine | First took this medication about a week ago, I swore I was going to have a seizure. I developed shakes, light headed, very lethargic. Although my migraine did go away. Not knowing it was effects of the medicine I googled it after taking it today because I'm having the exact same symptoms after taking it. | F | 26 | 2 times 2 pills | 11/23/2014 | 1 | headache | 1 days | 11/21/2014 | 2 | severe migraine | Took 2 tablets 5 hours ago the last 4 hours severe pain in chest left side tighting can't get a deep breathe in . My headache is gone not worth feeling like a heart attack | F | 2 tablets 1X day | 11/18/2014 | 2 | I have migraines | I'm starting to feel paranoid and restless I can't sleep and when I do sleep I have awful dreams and wake myself up and it takes even longer to fall asleep again. | The medicine relieved my headache but I'd rather keep the migraine than feel paranoid and not sleep | F | 28 | 2 months 500 | 11/12/2014 | 5 | migraines | I usually don't experience negative side effects with Excedrin Migraine, but I had an awful migraine today and took 2...I feel jittery and like I could throw up Exorcist style.definitely will only take 1 tab from now on. | F | 28 | 1 days 1 tab | 9/30/2014 | 1 | Chronic Migrains | Thought I was having a paranoia panic attack (I have diagnosed paranoia,) irritable to temperature changes, shaking, jitters, couldn't stand, nausea, limbs falling asleep, almost passing out, nodding off, can't walk straight, can't focus, honestly thought this was a medical emergency (and I have a high pain tolerance due to chronic illnesses.) | Don't take this if you don't want a near death experience (or at least it feels like it.) I had almost identical symptoms when my chronic migraines began back in 7th grade and I treated it with Exedrin. I thought that it had nothing to do with the drug, but now that I've had copy-cat symptoms almost six years later, it becomes apparent that this is a terrible drug. | F | 18 | 1 days 250 mg 1X day | 9/30/2014 | 1 | had headache | my headache went away but was awakened at 4am with the most excruciating stomach pains 100% worse than my headache | F | 28 | 1 days ? | 9/29/2014 | 3 | migraines for many years | Usually only take as needed. Last dose within one hour I was sweating, arms weak, shaky inside. Lasted about two hours. | F | 63 | 8 years | 9/26/2014 | 2 | migraine | I took 2 pills of excedrin and my migraine went away slightly. My head still hurts every time I go in a room with light or when look down. | M | 1 days | 9/12/2014 | 1 | for migraine | I took 2pills of excedrin (migraine) aroud 8pm and I was fine my migraine went away but like 2 hours later I started filling stomach and back pain and I was awake until 1:40am and then I started vomiting and now is almost 10:00 am and my stomach and back pain still the same | F | 24 | 1 days 2 | 9/8/2014 | 2 | Migraine | I've taken this drug a lot to help me with migraines. Sometimes when I take it I feel extreme anxiety and i get panic attacks. My stomach gets queasy and I usually get diarrhea. If you have to take this pill as a last resort I recommend only taking 1 and NEVER take it before you go to sleep. I did that once and I woke up with the worst nausea and stomach pains i've ever had. | F | 16 | 1 days | 9/5/2014 | 3 | Migraine | After taking the migraine pills last night(10:30P.m) . The headache was gone. Until this morning around 9:45 A.M. Back pains occurred, hard to breath, vomiting. Please email me ASAP, if you have the same symptoms. This is for my mother. Thank you! :) | F | 47 | 1 days 30 | 8/12/2014 |
