For Migraine "I can no longer take this medicine because it throws me into horrible anxiety attacks that mess with my blood pressure, make me dizzy, lightheaded, and lethargic. Not to mention, an overall FEAR I am dying. These do get rid of the migraine for me, but the effects are just not worth it. I used to be able to take it with no problem, but not anymore. The anxiety, high blood pressure, and overall feeling of dying caused me to trash them so the temptation would not be there to subject myself to them anymore. I'm going to have to find another way of dealing with the headaches. Everyone is different, what their bodies can tolerate varies."

For Migraine "I'm a 44 yr old female who rarely got headaches except for occasional sinus headache. But for over a year now, something in my body has changed-with persistent pain on top and back of head, with vertigo and tinnitus. I'm not a pill popper and avoid even OTC drugs as much as possible. However, these horrible migraines have had me reaching for Advil in all forms, Tylenol, and Excedrin. Excedrin Migraine has been the ONLY pill that works. I take just one. I feel the tightness and wrenching/throbbing dissipate within 15 mins. For me, the benefits last into the next day! Just one pill! I will feel a slight pang of pain every couple of hours, for a few seconds, but 95% of the pain is gone. (I'm working on the vertigo/tinnitus)"

For Migraine "I'm actually 18, and I get migraines all the time. I loved it when I first started using it because it'll work in like 10 minutes. I'm weird because I'd get a dizzy feeling when I first took it, but it wasn't bad. Now, lately, it hasn't been doing anything. I was really looking forward to taking Excedrin every time I had pain, but I'll still continue using it to see if there still will be any progress. Huh, I actually started thinking my migraines are just too strong for Excedrin."
