    It sure doesn't work for my migraines. I use a triptan drug, Amerge and fiorinal. I also get acupuncture and take magnesium. There is an herbal product called "Petadolux" that can work for some people. Biofeedback can work for some people.

    Nothing works well for me. Excedrin Migraine dulls the pain if taken at the first sign. I sometimes see spots, feel dullness, or get a mild throb in half my head (usually temple), before a full-blown migraine occurs. It helps a little to put a warm compress on your head or sit in a hot bath.

    Yes sometimes, but I find that Excedrin Migraine and sleep, or at least a dark room. If it’s excessively painful, then I have also use a cold compress over the eyes... Hope this helped

    Regular Excedrin is the same formula as Excedrin Migraine - just the package is different. And generic Excedrin is the same as the name brand. So don't spend you money on Excedrin Migraine, just get some generic Excedrin instead

    I agree go with Excedrine Migraine, I have been dealing with them my whole like, and that seems so far to be the best over the counter solution.
