What is a good alternative to Excedrin Migraine?

Question

I've looked everywhere for Excedrin Migraine, it's not in any stores.  I did read a story updated January 2021 that GSK, who makes Excedrin products, has temporarily halted production on it, but no idea when it's supposed to start coming back to store shelves.

Back when Excedrin was recalled, I tried every single OTC medication there is out there.  Advil, Ibuprofen, Bayer, my desk literally looked like a pharmacy, and none of those medicines did anything for my headaches.

So when I run out of my current supply of Excedrin Migraine, if it isn't back on store shelves, do you know of a good working alternative medication to Excedrin Migraine that works just as good, or better?

Most times I take two Excedrin Migraine, headache can be gone within 5 to 10 minutes of taking it.

Advil IS ibuprofen (as is Motrin), and ibuprofen is not the best OTC medication for headaches. For everything else, though, it's considered the most effective.

Tylenol is considered better than ibuprofen for headaches but ineffective for everything else. Have you tried that?  It contains acetaminophen.

There is nothing. Its the best on the market without the side effects. And it works.

It's just acetaminophen,  aspirin and caffeine.

I always used Bayer Back & Body aspirin for my neck/nerve pain.  It has 500g per tablet and there is even a generic available.   Advil, Motrin & Tylenol never worked for me but this does.
