Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Excedrin is my go to for headaches and general aches and pains. When it wasn't available for almost a year I tried everything else. Nothing works as good.. I even prefer it over some prescription medications for pain."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "Today I took Excedrin migraine for the first time, it worked very well for the pain, it took it away completely but now I am in bed feeling with stomach pain, nausea and heartburn. I feel miserable, I've never had medication bother my stomach before. I don't have a sensitive stomach at all. It's amazing for killing the migraine but the stomach pain is not worth it. I normally take 800 mg of ibuprofen and a strong cup of coffee when I get a migraine and it works great for me but this time a friend asked me to try this so I did and it hasn't worked. "

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I want to express how much I appreciate this medication! I get migraines every now and again that even prescription medications didn’t help. But excedrin seems to help almost 100 percent of the time and I am So grateful because I am able to actually function and get through the day without having to suffer!!! Thank you so much!!!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "My husband and I both use it. He gets migraines frequently and this is the only thing we've found (including prescription medicines) that is effective for him. I use it now when I get headaches, usually only 1 pill. It works for me every time also. "

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I'm 57, and had been using Goody's Headache Powders for my chronic headaches for over 35 years. They helped me reign-in MANY a budding Migraine (in the bud)-- before it had a chance to escalate. I recommended them to EVERYBODY!!! However, the formula has clearly, (recently) been changed as it now TASTES different (leaves a strange, chemical aftertaste); and NO LONGER works on my headaches. [My husband noticed the SAME thing!] Whatever they changed, it's made the product as ineffective as their competition's-- BC Powders. Sadly, this drastic difference seemed to occur at the same time Goody's began using the awkward new packaging, which makes it more difficult to access the powders (because it doesn't tear easily)-- causing unnecessary spillage & frustration! As a loyal Goody's customer, I MUST agree with what others have already said: "IF it's NOT broken, DON'T 'FIX' it!""

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I had a horrible experience with Excedrin Migraine. Shortly after taking it, my heart started racing super fast, I got extremely anxious, and my body started shaking. Like other people are saying, if you are sensitive to caffeine do not take this medicine. It didn't take my migraine away either so it's not worth it at all."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Love 'em for my Lower back pain ! Fast and effective. Plus I like that it has caffeine in it for just a little extra pep at work. HOWEVER, I must echo the sentiments of many other posters on here: the Go-Packs are terrible!!! Sometimes I have to thump the pack really hard just to get all the medicine out. I prefer the simple, traditional wax envelopes MUCH, MUCH more!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "The first time I took Excedrin Migraine I think I took too many because it didn't help my migraine! But the second time I took it I took one and it was gone...but then it came back again and I didn't take another one because it says to only take 2 in 24 hours and I wanted to wait. But I'm looking forward to buying a bottle & using it in the future. THANKS EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I suffer from chronic migraines. Without a preventative medication (Topamax) I get them five to seven times a week. While taking Topamax I get three to five a month, so it is a vast improvement. Still, when they hit I need relief from the pain and Excedrin Migraine is NOT it. I am leaving this review so that others who do not respond well to Excedrin know they are not alone. These pills don't even begin to take the edge off the pain and the caffeine dose only makes my nausea worse. For the record, I experience two different types of migraine; one with light aura and one without. Excedrin doesn't help either."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "Have used Goodys powders for 40 plus years. I have complained to the manufacturer about the on-the-go packs and received a very matter of fact message that this is the way they decided to package now and have no thoughts of returning to the tried and true packaging. I guess they did not do very good testing before deciding this was a good for the consumer. They apparently do not want to hear the packaging complaints."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "The new packaging is a complete FAILURE! I have had to cut a small piece of paper to carry with the product. I have to pour the contents of the stupid tube in the paper with great effort to get it out into the paper to take in the way that has always worked. As a long time loyal customer I beg you to fix this!!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I am a long time (30 yr) customer of Goody's and am fully satisfied with the product but the NEW PACKAGE has got to GO! I have tried several different ways to open them and take the powder but have not yet to be successful in doing so with out either dumping it on my face or not being able to get most of the powder out without a lot of fuss. I like the idea of the enclosed packet but it just not working."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "Have used Goody's Extra Strength powders for almost 50 years but wish they would not have changed the packaging. Feel like I am wasting my money as the powder gets stuck in the bottom of the package. You can tear in half and still not get all of the powder out...NOT happy with the change.."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I have a love/hate relationship with this medication. I've had migraines since I was a child, but I also have anxiety. This is the only medication that takes my migraines away. However, it can also cause anxiety/panic symptoms, especially lightheaded feeling and fast heartbeat. I only take one with food and a lot of water. So it's either deal with the pain, or uncomfortable anxiety symptoms for awhile."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "My husband, father in law, mom, sister, brother, aunt, and myself can not stand the new to go packs. You have to beat them down to the bottom. Then you have to keep flipping the pack to get the bottom powder out into your mouth. Then still get upset because you miss your mouth. Seriously do you use your product. How can you not see how horrific it is. Please change them back"

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I’ve had a migraine for about 4 days now. It was helping in the beginning, but I took it and now my heart rate is sky rocketing. I feel dizzy and can’t fall asleep. I’m hoping this goes away soon, it is a very odd sensation. It kept me up all night. I just want to sleep! :("

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I take prescription meds for my chronic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia and migraines but my Goody's powders help boost my relief quicker and really help in between meds. I hate to be negative but I really despise the new packaging!! Please give us the option of one or the other. The folded paper is much easier for me to use! I have a very hard time with new packaging."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I have used Goody powders and BCs for over 30 years. The new stick packs are awful. They are hard to get the powder out of... always some left in package. Also there is not as much in the new package as in the old. Not sure who you think you are fooling."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I hate the new Goody package. I thought I was the only one that noticed that they don't taste the same. My neighbor take them as well so I gave them to him. He sent them back and said he didn't like them. I have found the 6pack and 2pack at the Kroger in Mississippi. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who hates the new packaging. Not only is it a pain to get the powder out it's not the same amount of powder in the new packaging as the old. I compared the contents of both and we are being duped. If I find the old packages at the gas stations I buy every pack that's available. Very unhappy longtime customer!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "My Migraine headache starts with what they call Aura, which is blind spots in eyesight (eyesight will be blurry when this happens) and followed by the worst headache ever. From my experience, the Excedrin Migraine doesn't work when you take it after the headache starts. But when you take it in early stage (which is for me, immediately after experiencing Aura), its very effective. Don't expect you will be relieved from pain 100 percent, but at least it helps relieving 70 percent of pain. I would highly recommend to take it in very early stage when the migraine starts."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "Obvious corporate strategy to lower the amount of powder and increase the price for new "on the go" packaging. For you idiots that changed a great product and are losing countless loyal customers... you need "to go." PS. Nice feature on your website for contacting you. I never see a reply. "Go figure""

Goody's Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "By far your worst decision was to change the packaging. Did anyone ever test the new packaging before production? Apparently not. Something needs to be changed. New “ sticks on the go “ packets will remain on the shelf when I walk by. I’m done with them!"
