Comment:
For years I have had great results with this product until 2019 when there was a shortage. When Excedrin migraine returned to shields in 2020, they are totally ineffective. Not sure what they changed but I am very disappointed because I have been using for many, many years. Now u am having to deal with my headaches while my doctor tries to find something that works for me.

I usually wake up with headache that turns into migraine within 2 hr

The excedrin migraine worked for me. I purchased the excedrin months ago but was skeptical about taking it. Usually when I have migraine headaches, I have to lay in darkness, use the bathroom and apply an ice pack to my head to relieve discomfort. I decided to take a chance and try the excedrin.

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 l
