Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "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."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "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! :("

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "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) "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 Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "It’s really unbelievable to me that a company can really destroy their unique and proven product/packaging concept like they did with changing the Goody powder packaging. They must not have done any solid market research! This must be going down in history as one of the worst marketing decision ever! There is really nothing good about the new packaging, the old style was unique, worked wonderful and had a solid and steady following of loyal customers (including myself) I’m really curious if there will be an apology of the manufacturer and if and when they will bring back the “old” style packaging?"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have lived with migraine headaches for over 24 years. I did not know what to do with my head until I found a miracle 7 years ago. I am from the country where access to medication is not possible, so I had to learn how to leave with ongoing headache for several years. One day I was sitting in Lab with a female colleague and she saw me rubbing my head badly. She carried the pills, so she pulled out and gave me two. In 15 mins, I felt the most amazing relief I never had in 17 years. I totally depend on Excedrin Migraine pill for the last 7 years now. I feel stomach burning afterward, but that discomfort does not match the migraine headache. I take twice or three times a week. "

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used Goody powders for over 30 years and I have to say that the new packaging is the worst idea you could have came up with, also I have compared the powder in the new and old and there is a lot more in the old packs, I'm going to have to discontinue the use of your product as I see it isn't the same anymore. Bye Felicia, and if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!!! Frustrated in Georgia!!!!!"

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I've taken Excedrin for headaches and body aches since 1972, when I was in the US Army. Works very well most of the time. The only time I had a problem, was many years ago, I got a bottle that must have turned bad or expired. Had a vinegar smell, and caused dizziness within a short time of taking it. Advice, if the medicine has a sour smell, the aspirin content may have been altered, by age, or moisture, etc. Do not use."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have over 20 migraines a month, which can be very costly with Imitrex. If I catch my headache early enough Excedrin for Migraines will eliminate my migraine for 8-12 hours. It is tough on my stomach though, after years of fighting migraines with aspirin (before Imitrex came along.) Thank you Excedrin!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "My husband and I dislike the new on the go packs. All of the powder doesn't come out so you end up having to tear it completely down both sides to lick or tap the remaining powder out. Every single time. It's annoying. The old packaging was better."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I've used regular and migrane vesions of Excedrin and they have both work effectively. The pain relief is realized within 15 minutes of taking. I swear by this product and have used countless others when I did not have Excedrin at my disposal. I highly recommend this product."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I am 20 years old and get the worst migraines. As soon as I feel a migraine coming onset I take 2 excedrin and within 20-30 minutes I feel great. No other medication combats my migraines like excedrin does. Thank the lord for this medication!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I'm a 44 yr old woman that just started to suffer from daily headaches 2 yrs ago. Got the MRI - etc etc etc. All clear. These migraines mainly cause a "bouncy" feeling and slight vertigo. I can feel the throbbing on my pillow and tinnitus. Lovely - huh? Somehow I manage to sleep pretty well because I've learned to stop worrying about it. Tried Tylenol - Advil- then Exedrine. Exedrine is the only one that helps. I take just one. It reduces any pain and helps the vertigo a little bit. And feel the benefits for a couple days. I try not to take more than one or two pills PER WEEK. I hate meds. Anyway- I love this stuff."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I am a migraine sufferer and have been a test subject to many new migraine medicines over the years. When I don't have my doctor subscribed migraine medicine with me the best average day migraine medicine for me to take is excedrin. If I take it early on before the migraine gets to bad it will usually get rid of it but if I take it to late it will only reduce the pain but not eliminate it. But overall it is a very affective migraine medicine."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Excedrin migraine is the only thing that works for my migraines. Because I try my best not to take medicine I will do everything to not take a pill unless I have to . Because I’ve learned that sometimes headaches come from dehydration I try my best to gulf down bottles of water . In this instance I lasted 3 days without taking medicine . I couldn’t take it no more . Soo finally took 2 Excedrins and within an hour I’m already feeling relief . This medicine is really a miracle medicine for me . Thank you !"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I get migraines ALL THE TIME and Excedrin has always been my go-to, but usually I've been able to take it and go to sleep right after. Today unfortunately, I had to work. I didn't take anything before going to work (MISTAKE) and by the time it was lunch break, my migraine was at it's peak. I lost my vision almost completely, was in SOOO much pain and I felt so confused/in such a daze. I went to target and got Excedrin PRAYING for a miracle. I took 3 tablets due to severity of my migraine and WOW. One hour later, I FELT SO MUCH BETTER. My migraine deteriorated to a slight headache and I felt like I wasn't going to die. MIRACLE PILL"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Not only did they reduce the amount in the packs but lots of the powered gets stuck in the corners of the packs and I can’t get it out. Been waiting impatiently for the old packs to return. Maybe they will but until then I’ll be using Excedrin Migraine. Works almost as well for me just not as fast as the old Goody’s. Y’all screwed this one up!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I LOVE Excedrin migraine, it's literally the only OTC pain reliever that completey gets rid of my migraines. Advil, and Tylenol just does not even touch my migraine to relieve it, but this is definitely my favorite migraine cure, gets rid of tension, light sensitivity, and all... I suffer chronic migraines due to genetics, and this I highly recommend for anyone suffering a bad migraine"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Kills my migraines, but kills my stomach too. Sometimes I just have to decide which is the lesser evil. Intense migraines trump hours of burning stomach, but sensation of digesting razor blades trumps mild migraines. Know your body and medicate accordingly."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I took this medication because I suffer from migraines. I never have taken it and since it said migraine I said I would try it. I took 2 pills which are 250mg each so 500mg in total. I literally felt my soul leaving my body in less than 15 minutes of taking it. I got pale, diarrhea, nausea, and after an hour of my heart rate so high and blood pressure so high I went to the hospital. I fainted at the hospital. They even said they don’t suggest this. It was so scary. If you suffer with anxiety, don’t try!"

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used Excedrin for approximately 15 years and it does the trick in probably about 95% of my headaches. There are a few that it does not stop but the trick really is taking it at the first sign of a headache and not waiting. Usual relief comes in approximately 15 to 20 minutes."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Having suffered migraines for many, many years I was without my medication and found one coming on. I stopped in the airport gift store and found some Excedrin. It was a life saver. IF taken EARLY...and will save a lot of money from my higher priced remedy. "
