Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Excedrin Migraine is a tiny little gift from God. I'm 28 and have been dealing with migraines my whole life. I just had a killer migraine about 30 minutes ago...one of those so bad that you feel nauseous, disoriented, and like your brain is swollen. I am feeling SO much better now and can continue with the rest of my day like normal. I truly think Excedrin Migraine works as good if not better than several onset migraine medications I've tried in the past. I keep a bottle in my car, my purse, and my office desk because I never know when a migraine will strike. Thank you Excedrin for making my migraines more manageable!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "This is a wonder drug. I was an avid Advil user for years. Then one day the pain just wouldn't go away. My mom suggested excedrin migraine and I've never looked back. Within 15 minutes that awful pain is gone. 1-2 pills depending on how bad the pain is and you'll be feeling better in no time!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I had the worst migraine of my life for three days. I felt like I'd tried everything possible. Nothing touched the pain. It was blinding. My husband brought me the Goodies powder. It was awful tasting, but within a half hour my migraine was gone. It's a miracle. I'm grateful."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Execedrin Migraine works GREAT. I have experienced migraine headaches since age 14. I am now 23 and there has been no other over the counter medicine that has worked like Excedrin Migraine. The only thing that has me concerned/worried is that I don't know if it has or may have a long term effect. If anyone knows please post a comment. Other than that I love this medication and I have recommended to friends and anyone I know that has migraines and they even say it works! I can wake up with a migraine and feel confident that as soon as I take Excedrin Migraine the pain will start to minimize until it completely goes away and after the pain goes away I feel lots of energy and fully awake."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used Goody's powder since I was 14 years old. I am 63 years old.they just came out with a new packaging and have sealed the goody powder they have cut the dosage I have to take two for it to work and now one is not strong enough. I am so disappointed in this company as long as I have been taken this medicine believe me I know the difference I'm hoping I can still find some of the old packaging of Goody's powder before it's all taken of the market. I think I will start taken BC Powders. so sad Goody's change its product"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Love excedrin migraine. I have been a migraine sufferer for 40 years. Ibuprofen doesn't touch the pain, light sensitivity. But, excedrin migraine usually knocks it down within 25 minutes begore the nausea sets in.I truly hope they never discontinue this product. My son gets migraines too and also swears by excedrin migraine."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I would like to thank Excedrin. Within 3 minutes of taking it, I could feel it taking my headache away every second after until my headache was completely gone. I will continue to recommend this product to friends and family for life. Thank you."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I got this medication from my doctor to treat weekly migraines. However, I found that this medication has only made my migraines more frequent! If I take it one day, it’ll return the next day. I never used to wake up with headaches, but now every morning is tainted with migraine. If I can catch my headache in time, it gets rid of the headache but introduces shakiness, dizziness, and stomach pain. If I wait too long to take the medication (i.e. wake up with a full-blown migraine) then it still causes these side effects, but combined with the headache, nausea, and dizziness of migraine, I feel 10x worse. Without my headache, side effects are bearable. With it, though, I really just want to blink out of existence. Take with caution or avoid all together. My migraine days have increased 7-fold since taking this medication."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "The is the best product for really bad headaches and migraines (if you have migraines, you know the difference). Because of the shortage in 2011-2012 I now keep several 300 counts as extra stock. Can't be beat for relief!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "WHYYYYY was the packaging changed. Worst mistake ever...They were "on the go" packs in the first place. Horrible decision. I also have to take 2 instead of 1 now. Just ridiculous all the way around. Change is good but not for Goodys."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "9 times out of 10 Excedrin Migraine does the trick for me. I have used other OTC products and nothing gives me relief like Excedrin Migraine. I get very bad one-sided migraines and this is the only medicine that actually does what it promises. I get relief within the first 15 to 20 minutes. My doctor even gave me prescription Fioricet once and I was not NEARLY as effective as Excedrin Migraine. So I stopped taking it and went back to Excedrin Migraine."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have occasional migraines and I can only get relief from Exedrin Migraine. I have also experienced the jittery or anxious symptoms people describe when taking it but only when I made the mistake of taking it on an empty stomach. As long as I take it with food it works wonders!!!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I consider Excedrin Migraine a miracle drug. Curled up in a ball, waiting to vomit (sorry to be vivid), I called my mom and begged her to pick me some up. It did take a good 45 minutes to kick in, but eventually I was able to sit up, breathe normally, and not feel like death from head to toe."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I start seeing what looks like bits of TV static in my vision that grows pre-migraine. This vision loss can get bad and makes me feel sick, but that is nothing compared to the migraine that follows. So as soon as I see one spot I'll wave my hand in front of my face, if it turns out its a blind spot as these static spots are, I take a couple of these Excedrin Migraine pills. They work on me in less than half an hour, and this usually halts then reverses the vision issue and of the migraine I only feel a slight dull pressure/pain where it would have been . Unlike some... I actually see a reduction of anxiety. When taken before I go to sleep I get a much better night's sleep. It could be because caffeine has no effect on me."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "The new packaging sucks. I have talked to other users and they all atree. It is much harder to get the powder out of the new package. I have to use 3 packages to get out the same amount of powder as two old packages, as the powder clogs up at the bottom, This is a very poor design. I hope you go back to the old packaging or improve the new ones."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I sometimes have these inexplicable migraines pain 1 out of 10 sometimes reaching 9 where I am dry heaving just due to the pain that causes nausea. I get these migraines in my forehead sometimes, people often refer to as "tension headaches". My migraines can last 3-5 days. I've tried non medicinal ways to treat my migraines: going to the eye doctor, visiting my primary care physician to make sure it wasn't sinus related, I tried essential oils and also tried other otc pain relief like Tylenol and Motrin as well as Advil and alieve. What works best for me is this excederin migraine."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I get migraines pretty often and excedrin migraine does the trick each time! It is very affordable and works like magic. Within 20 minutes the pain is pretty much gone. I throw up when I get a really bad migraine and if you take this along with a little something to eat you will be better in no time! I recommend this product to anyone who suffers from migraines."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I'm a 25 year old male who has suffered severe migraines since I was about 13. I get them on average once every 1-2 months. I've tried many different OTC medications for all forms of pain relief and nothing at all even makes a dent, so much so, I rarely took any form of pain relief medication for a long time. A couple of years ago I discovered Excedrin Migraine and gave it a shot. I can honestly say these pills are pure magic for me. I take them for migraines, and occasionally other forms of pain, and it makes me feel like a million bucks. It doesn't just numb the pain or make it tolerable, for me it completely erases it like I never had any pain to begin with. Not only that they also make me feel up-beat, alert and happy."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "This drug has honestly changed my life. I have been suffering from migraines since I was 9 years old and nothing helped. I tried everything. Advil, aleve, tylonel, weed, basically every drug in the book as well as napping. At best, it would relieve some of the pain temporarily but nothing cured it. I would have migraines for days at a time completely debilitating my life. A few months ago, I was lucky enough to discover migraine excederin and it is absolutely outstanding. No matter how severe the migraine, it has never failed to cure it completely and quickly (I always feel better within about 20 minutes). Migraines no longer have an impact on my life because of this stuff. It also instantly cures my hangovers. I only have to take 2."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I've suffered from migraines ever since I was a child. The only ways I use to be able to combat them was to either sleep it off (which hardly ever worked) or throw up, which always worked but feels like absolute awful when you have a migraine. Thank goodness for Excedrin Migraine. Ibuprofen, Tylenol, none of it works; because there made to combat stuff like normal everyday pain, but a migraine is far from being a common discomfort. It won't work immediately, like every medication, but lay still in bed for half an hour after taking it... And you'll be shocked when you roll out of bed without your head beginning to pound and throb, best medication ever"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I HATE the new packaging. I can not get all of the powder out of the package. My parents are in their 80s and are having more difficulties than I am due to age and arthritis. They literally have to cut the package open and pour contents in a spoon. Bring back old packaging!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I was introduced to Goody’s headache powders many many years ago. I have terrible sinus headaches and it’s the only thing that will relieve them. That being said, the new packaging is the WORST !! The person or persons that designed or advised this change needs a new profession. You know the old saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. We as consumers have been loyal to Goody’s, please hear us and change back to the wrapper. Change the box to a zip lock bag BUT NOT THE WRAPPER! Thank you"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Ive suffered with migraines ever since I can remember, along with seeing spots. My doctor diagnosed me and told me that even though there are times I don't have a migraine, I still have the symptoms and said I have 24 hour migraines. Exedrin is the pill that works for my head besides prayer. I haven't experienced the symptoms that other people claim, and I do have anxiety but everyone handles medicine differently. I enjoy that Exedrin works quickly to relive the pain so I can finally relax."
