I'm feeling better already - I'm telling you this Excedrin Migraine is the only thing that works for me instantly (literally 10 min and I can already feel it working!).......and I've been suffering from migraines since about 11!!!!!!

I'm glad you're feeling better!
Wait till you're preggo... all I can take is Tylenol, or Tylenol w/codeine (only 1 a week), but neither help!!! Twice I've begged Patrick to bash my head in with a rock. He thinks I'm kidding, but both times the pain was so intense that I was serious.

Glad that you are feeling better. I used to get nasty migraines. They stopped however once I stopped drinking about a gallon of diet coke every day!! I have only had 3 or 4 in the last few years, but oh boy do I sympathize with you!!!

I love excedrine migraine. FI and I went to BJ's and bought the 850 count bottle.
Excedrine migraine is definatly my miracle drug as well

It took me 20 years to discover it, but I guess it was worth the wait! I used to have to take 3 advil and sleep to get rid of it!

Re: Ugh, I have a headache!
You know, I was looking at the contents the other day, deciding if I should get the regular extra strength excedrin, or the migraine relief and I found out that they're EXACTLY the same! Look, from drugstore.com Active Ingredients: Each Caplet Contains: Acetaminophen (Pain Reliever) (250mg), Aspirin (Pain Reliever) (250mg), Caffeine (Pain Reliever Aid) (65mg)Inactive Ingredients: Benzoic Acid, Carnuba Wax, Hydroxypropylcellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Mineral Oil, Polysorbate 20, Povidone, Propylene Glycol, Simethicone Emulsion, Sorbitan Monolaurate, Stearic Acid, FD&C Blue #1, Titanium Dioxide
Just wanted to say, why do they do that? Do they think it will have some psychosomatic effect if you think you're taking a special migraine pill? Oh well, at least they're the same price.

LOL!!!!! I never noticed they were the same, but then again I never took Excedrin before they came out with the migraine stuff!!
I'm doing much better now!! Thanks!!

I am guessing Excedrin did that b/c they are the only OTC that really does help migraines so the figured they would let the world know!!

I'm surprised they have caffeine in them - I never knew that!

Re: Ugh, I have a headache!
Actually, I think the caffeine is what really helps, cause acetominaphen (sp?) is what is in tylenol, which doesn't do crap for my headaches......
And if I take these and have coffee, I get the shakes BIG TIME!
