My first Excedrin Extra Stregnth for a mild headache. One and a half hrs. later extreme abdominal pain, rapid heartbeat, extreme shaking, nausea and loss of appetite nearly sending me to ER with a severe reaction Lasting 30+ hrs.. Just a warning this can and does happen.

All junk. Extra Strength Excedrin is a miracle wonder drug for me!! Rarely, do I even need to take two caplets and when I take one, I feel relief within 15 minutes!!! I highly recommend this drug to anyone suffering from headaches and need quick relief. If you have a sensitive stomach, please take it with food. For me, if I take 1 or 2 (whichever I need) on an empty stomach I experience mild nausea that passes quickly. Excellent medication and very fast relief!!

Took this for a rather persistent and terrible headache before classes, ended up being dizzy to the point which I could barely walk, had a burning sensation in my stomach and weak limbs, extremely fast and weak heartbeat, worse headache than before such that my vision was being affected, and a ringing in my ears.

I honestly thought I was going to die it was one of the scariest experiences of my life. Entire episode probably lasted almost 5 hours and resulted in me passing out. Never taking it again.

I have taken Excedrin for years! Recently, I have been experiencing heartburn. I though it was some new supplements that I have been taking (Ginger). I stopped taking the Ginger, but still had the heartburn. Today, I started to get a headache, so I took 2 Excedrin as I always do. Within minutes, the heartburn returned.

I did a little research on the side effects of Excedrin, and found heartburn was one of them! Another side effect is the darkening of stool, which has me a little concerned, has started lately as well. Guess I am going to stop taking Excedrin and see what happens.

I first took this about 3 months ago for headaches because my boyfriend said it really works. My heart started racing, my head pounded and I was nauseous. I was so scared I had to be brought to the ER for the 1st time in my life. Thought I was having a heart attack or stroke(I am 49, don't smoke & only drink socially,was running 5 miles a day and was not on any meds). Ended up being put on ... Show Full Comment

I was so scared I had to be brought to the ER for the 1st time in my life. Thought I was having a heart attack or stroke(I am 49, don't smoke & only drink socially,was running 5 miles a day and was not on any meds). Ended up being put on bp meds. Had a headache yesterday and took it again and had another episode. Realize it has to be this drug. Will NEVER take it again.
