Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I don't normally get headaches in general but when I do, they're horrible. I took an Excedrin after I developed I really bad headache upon getting off work for the day. My headache was gone in about 30 minutes tops. However, the side effects of this pill outweighed how fast it fixed my headache. I took the pill in the car on the way home and by the time I reached my home in 15 minutes I began feeling woozy. I started to feel light headed and felt this weird feeling in my stomach. I assumed it was because I was hungry but after forcing myself to eat food it only made things worse. I felt so bad that I just laid down early for the night so that when I woke up the feeling would most likely be gone. Nope! I woke up & vomitted shortly."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Most people who have been diagnosed by a doctor will tell you a migraine is SO MUCH MORE than a bad headache. I have suffered from migraines most of my life. I tend to get them once every 2 weeks depending on my sleep and eating habits a. Unfortunately, Excedrin Migraine just doesn't work for me. I know a lot of people have had a good experience with it but certain prescription drugs are the only thing that will help my migraines. I am currently on Relpax and it does make me feel groggy but it is WELL WORTH it! When I get a migraine I tend to get fuzzy vision, high sensitivity to smell and light, pain behind my eyes, sometimes vomiting and numbness in my fingers."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I love excedrin(migraine) I been suffering from migraines all my life and been prescribed many medications which have failed me!! Of course someone who suffers from migraines understand the unbearable pain of having a migraine it's almost impossible to complete simple task but not when taking excedrin it WORKS right away. My advice is to take it when you get the warning signs (black dots, Hard to focus, feeling like you have to throw up) this medicine does keep you awake which is the last thing someone with a migraine wants to be but the pain won't last long."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used Goody's for 30+ years since they are the only thing that helps with my head & body pain. I bought them in the 50 count boxes as well as the pocket size. But since the new packaging seems to have taken over I am going to have to find something to take the place of Goody's. I am a very unhappy loyal customer!"

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) " I have spent more than 14 years with migraines that have taken me to the hospital numbing my whole body, vomiting and intense pain, until I tried Excedrin and I have been taking it for 6 months when I want to get a migraine and I am gone in 20 minutes I love it finally I can lead an almost normal life."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "My grandmother first gave me a Goodies back in the 80s. It's the only thing that will touch my migraine without a prescription. Imagine my surprise when I now have to first wrestle with the package (while having a pounding headache) to get the powder out of this new stupid to-go pack. What was wrong with the way it was?? Now I have to flick the package to get the powder to the bottom, then hope I get all the powder in one shot (which I usually don't because I've flicked it so much it's now a block at the bottom). Three attempts to get this ONE powder into my system. My head was pounding harder than it was before I took the medicine. This is bad. Please change the packaging back to the trifold paper. I absolutely HATE this new packaging."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have had migraines since I was a child. And not until I became an adult did I discover Excedrin Migraine. I've take a combination of prescription medicines over the years and nothing compares. Prescription medicines may take away some pain but it's still there along with strange side effects. Excedrin on the other hand after 15 to 25 minutes my migraine is gone completely."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have been using Goody’s daily for almost 10 years and hate the new packaging. Was excited today when I went into a store and found they still had the old packaging and bought all they had. But I am seriously considering looking into a different product for my headaches just because of the new packaging."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I am absolutely in LOVE with Excedrin Migraine ! Wheneve I have the worst migraine , I always take this pill & it goes away so fast . I've been having migraines since I was about 11 & at first I would take Advil because I didn't know about Excedrin . But, as soon as I found this, I never went back . I swear by this pill . It's the only thing that really works for me . I don't know why for me it doesn't give me a stomach ache . I just took some this morning because I had the worst migraine & I couldn't wait to eat something first . But my stomach is fine still . I would 1000% recommended Excedrin to anyone !"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have been suffering from bad headaches for a few years now. I just discovered Excedrin migraine and it has been a huge relief. I just had a bad headache and Tylenol provided no relief at all. I took 2 Excedrin Migraine with Mountain Dew and the pain subsided in about 10 minutes. I can now get out of bed and continue my day."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "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 Exedrine. Exedrine Migraine has been the ONLY pill that works. I take just one. I feel the tightness and wrenching/throbbing disapate 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 hours, for a few seconds, but 95% of the pain is gone. (I'm working on the vertigo/tinnitus)"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Excedrin Migraine is the only OTC medicine that relieves my migraines. It works so well and quickly that I keep a bottle at home, in my purse and at work. I cannot be without it. It does make me mildly shake at times, but that's nothing compared to the headaches."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have suffered from migraines for almost 40 years. I used to get hormonal migraines but take active birth control every day to stop those. I get weather related migraines, I can feel storms coming in, so much pressure on my head. Anyway, Excedrin Migraine works great for me! Not all the time though, sometimes I have to combine it with Sudafed to release the pressure. If I don't eat when I take the Excedrin, I do get jittery. But it stops the nausea and sensitivity to light and sound as well as the massive pain of a migraine. It is always in my cabinet, ready to grab if I ever need it!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "My wife has suffered from migraines since a child. I’ve seen her take several things over the years and nothing ever worked. I’ve seen her sick for days on end vomiting so hard she loses all since of time. Then I see your commercials for migraines, this company has no idea what a migraine even is, please stop making claims your medicine is for migraines. My wife finds some relief in Maxalt and that doesn’t always work. Just hype is all your selling."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I woke up with a Migraine and took this, it dulled it, but never went fully away. When I was able to take my next dose I did. Soon after my vision started to blur, my face was flushed, I felt light headed, dizzy, the room was spinning, my heart was racing (over 180bpm! Well over that), & I felt like I was about to pass out. Turns out it was a reaction to the CAFFEINE in this. I am not a caffeine free person and had never had this experience before, but the doc said the caffeine is a high dose in this. I now take Aleve or Maxsalt for bad migraines, no issues."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Most of the time the medicine works, a few days ago it didn't, at all touch the pain. It was so severe I thought I had a stroke. Left side of my body went numb. And I was in the E.R. For nine hours with an IV in and went through 4 two liter bags of magnesium and prescription strength migraine relief before it went away. I had a CT done and everything. It ended up being a severe complex migraine. So if the Excedrin is not working for you, call doctor ASAP to prevent this from happening. I couldn't talk, move very well, or was even really consciously aware of what was going on. It was so painful, and that kind of migraine mimics a stroke, so If you get nervous about a headache do NOT be afraid to call your doctor and see what you should do."

Excedrin Extra Strength (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have suffered with migraines since I was 2 years old and I am now 36. I have tried every migraine med on the market nothing worked for me like Extra Strength Excedrine. Recently it was taken off the market and then put back on I have noticed the increase in caffeine in the Excedrine and less of the pain med. I am very disappointed by this! After all these years the #1 med I depended on no longer works."

Goody's Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I've been taking goodys for all types of pain for over 40 yrs. When I had major surgery I refused to take the strong drug the wanted me to. I take this instead as it it better thanBC powders and stanback and drugs hands down. The dosage was cut and there not strong anymore. This will lose a lot of profits and customers. You lost me completely"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I suffer from daily migraines and usually have to take Maxalt once or twice a day and 600mg of Advil to help relieve pain. I was looking for an alternative so I don't run out of Maxalt since I take it at least 5 times a week and only get 9 pills a month. I've extended the life of them by receiving a 10mg prescription and cutting them in half. Either way, I tried Excedrin Migraine today to relieve the onset of a Migraine - I thought if I caught it early enough that the medication JUST might work. I might as well have eaten a bag of skittles. This did nothing to stop my migraine, it only sped up my HR so I couldn't rest and felt jittery for hours on end. I ended up having to take a Maxalt anyway. This is clearly not an option for me."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I get really bad migraines from time to time because of weather changes. None of the other headache medications really do much for me, especially when the migraines get so bad I can’t get out of bed. Excedrin migraine has become my go-to when this happens. Depending on how bad the migraine is, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to help enough to get me moving again, but it helps a lot when it does. The symptoms don’t always disappear completely (today, for instance, I’m still feeling a bit nauseous after taking it), but they become a lot more manageable and I’m able to get out of bed and get through my day, and the light and sound sensitivity is almost completely gone."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "For the last few months, I have suffered from debilitating menstrual migraines. I got a bad one today, and I was literally crawling on the floor in agony. I had throbbing pain and nausea. This knocked it out completely in about 45 minutes. No pain med I've tried has worked like this."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have migraine headaches all the time due to bright light's. So I'm always wearing dark sunglasses even if the sun isn't out. I feel like hideing in a cave sometimes. Very miserable. I can't enjoy going out an living a normal life. But I talk to a good friend an she bought me Excedrin migraine med and I was skeptical about taking it because I thought nothing could ever work. I always use ibuprophan 800 that got rid of some of the pain and had to go to sleep to not have to endure pain for hours. So today I was experiencing circle blurry rainbows an was like here we go again. I have a date in two hours. So I took a chance an took two pills as soon as I saw the first effect. After 15 minutes no pain at all I love it. Thank you. Now I can live my life."
