i use excedrin extra strength every day will i be ok

I wouldn't worry. There haven't been any reports as of yet. You can find out a little bit more if you click this link. http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-novartis-excedrin-recall-painkillers-20120109,0,766629.story?track=rss

I Am in a drug court program i get randomly tested and i tested this morning i had taken the excederin twice this week, I read that it could have other pain meds such as percocet, what are my chances of failing a drug test?

I take excedrin all the time never had a problem with it. It always makes me feel better. Its the only thing that works for me!! I hope they really dont take it off the shelf!!!

I had severe migraines for years and I always had to go to the ER and get shots for them until I tried taking Excedrin Migraine. It stops my migraines before they get that severe and I haven't had a migraine since. Now what am I going to do? Will generic products and store brands work just as good?

so ridiculous....they are recalling because there are some 'chips'? in the pills...why does that matter? Excedrin Migraine is my life....when is it coming back!! :-(

They're also recalling them because they said the some of the medications may be mixed up. I heard all kinds of weird things about the recall. I like my Excedrin Migraine. It's the best! I don't want to give it back....

This is so wrong. Excedrin migraine is the only thing that works for me and now, when I need it the most, they freaking take it away? This is just down right ridiculous, give me my medicine back! I'd rather not have to go to the ER because of this.. Just saying.

Excedrin is the only thing that works for my migraines. Now what? Suffer I guess....

I suffer with migraines. The only thing that works is Excedrin Migraine tablets. I have to be able to function. What now???

I l ike Nikki and proably many others have such severe migraines that I would end up at the E.R. most times they would have to give me three shots of morphine and dilauted and phenergan until I.found excedein migraine I like others want to know AND DESERVE TO KNOW when it will be back on the market .

I use Excedrin everyday and it's the only one that keeps my previous headaches away. When is excedrin going to be back on shelves

I too suffer from migraines that land me in the ER. Exedrin migraine is my only relief from them. I am very disappointed that this company is not telling us when they will be available to us again. I NEED them back!!

Please if anyone finds out when Excedrin for migraines will be back on the shelves, let me know. I feel lost without knowing this as I have only a few left. The store brands do not work for me. I am sure I will have a headache tonight--I always get them on Sunday nights into Monday mornings. Please send any information you have to sue.hasychak@gmail.com. Thank you. Hope we all can get through this!!!

I have used Excedrin migraines for over 15 years and nothing works but that, I have tried other medcines, dont have any insurance to see a doctor. I hope this temporary !!
Nia H

I get severe migraines...infact i've had one now for 9 days....NO INSURANCE due to layoff so Excedrin Migraine is a lifesaver for me and I have none left. The store brands do not work....at all.
Please let us know when you expect manufacturing to start up again.

When will it be back?! Back and body is the best acting OTC product I have ever had!

Really???? I live off of Extra Strength Excerins'.. Please let us know when it is coming back on the market!!! My head will explode with out them.. I'm totally addicted.. This cant be happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no insurance, i have a migraine now and have tried EVERYTHING else over the counter and NOHING has worked! Please bring ur migraine pills back, PLEASE!

Has anyone found anything that can take the place of Excedrin Migraine? The store brand that has the same ingredients just doesn't do the job.

nothing works like excedrin i hope that excedrin is back on the market soon recalls happen because there is too many stupid people that do not know what he or she is doing

I had a miscarriage in Novenber of 2011, and a month after i found out that these pills were in recall. Do you thing that my miscarriage have to do with excedrin?

I have made two trips already to the ER with severe migraine headaches. PLEASE put it back on the market! At the ER they said that they have had several people that say the same thing!

i don't believe for one minute that excedrin was pulled because of chipped or broken pills of other kinds. i believe they were pulled because they worked too good n kept those of us with migraines or back probs out of the er, also be ready for the products not coming back out at all or not coming back out with the same ingredients or at least the same amount. i have been using ecedrin products since the late 60's n everyone who's left a comment about it working is right. i want to praise the norvartis company for all the years of pain relief of headaches i've had. n i hope they do come back with the same of everything including the same amount of ingredients. i'm just warning that the possibility of it not happening is possible. n the generic brands don't work CVS or WALGREENS.

Everyone is right about Excedrin migraine...it's the only pill that works! I took the gel caps and have never had any broken caps. I get migraines often and as soon as I take two gel caps......its gone within a half an hour! No other brand works for me either! I went to Walmart on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 to pick up the double pack and there were
none on any of the shelves! Please tell me they will restock this product soon.....I can't live with these painful headaches. What now? Just suffer! What other brand will work like these? This is totally unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out that they had a recall on my favorite pills for my painful headaches :-( not happy @ all!! Can someone from the company who make Excedrin pills tell us when you will have it on the market please! Don't be rude and not give us a repond to what is going on please...thks Maria

I have a migraine right now! It woke me at 4 a.m. and I haven't been able to go back to sleep. I bought store brand migraine pills but what a joke. I know nothing out there works better than excederin migraine. I was hoping they would work but I knew I'd be screwed the second I heard about the recall

Laura
I too suffer from migraines, but would like to caution you're daily use. I lost my mother from a perfferrated ulcer due to over use. Please I am a huge supporter if Excedrin, just be sure to protect your stomach's. I do agree that a speedy return of this product is emergent!

Please bring Excedrin Migraine pills back it's the only thing over the counter that helps im in my fifty's I've lived with headaches since I was 15yrs this is the only thing that gets rid of them!!! Please bring them back soon! !!!!

My husband gave me the first imitrix shot (i havent had to have one for a long time) yesterday. The Excedrin migraine pills have really been a wonderful fine for me. Something that worked. The Generics didn't seem to work the same. I hope they find the problem soon and get them back on the shelfs.

Like all the folks here I also suffer from severe headaches and migraine. I'm really upset about no excedrin!
However I'm happy I know a good backup!
It's BC powders! They kick the heck out of a migraine. If you can stand them cuz they are in powder form!

Please help!I need my excedrin!!!!!When will it be back?

Same as other people, excedrin migraine is the only medicine that works. I have extra supply, but please!!!! Do not take out of the market.

I am more disturbed to find all these desparate pleas for help& no response from the company than to be out of exedrin! I called and was told w/out apology that it could be YEARS b4 we see excedrin back on shelves! They just dont know!? That makes no sense@
all. Because of a mixing of the drugs in the machine? How would that take years to rectify? And what kind of corporation cares so little about its cutomers they give no explaination when they do something this drastic? Answer: a company that no one should trust.

I've been managing with migraines since 1982. Excedrin works if I catch it early enough. I use Imitrix for the big ones. But mostly I prevent migraines by not eating several foods that trigger them. The list is very long but well worth not having a migraine. Every migraine sufferer I think has some level of food allergies and could improve their life by avoiding these foods. Find an allergist and get tested. Then do some testing on your own to see which effect you the most. (good for weight control too!) My list includes: dairy (milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc), gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley, etc),soy, sugar, corn, beef, peanuts, artificial sweeteners , citrus, chocolate, wine, alcohol, and a few others. Sounds impossible, right? It is real, and works 98% of the time. If you are desperate enough, you will try this. Takes discipline. Take control and leave the drug companies behind.

This is good for you Martha, but I have seen an allergies and food is not a trigger for me. And may not be a trigger for others. I take Migraines meds and still get headaches. The migraines meds usually put me to sleep and I end up missing work. with Excedrin I can take it and usually be to work on time. IT WORKS. We need it back. ASAP!

Unfortunately, not all allergists are great. I actually see an environmental ecologist since 1982. She has absolutely saved my life. But she has only been the catalyst. I have done all the investigative work. I refused to believe there was no reason why i had so much pain. In the end, yes, I guess I am more sensitive than others perhaps. But I live healthy and mostly pain free. I wish this for all my fellow-migraine sufferers. I say keep looking for your trigger. There is so much 'bad' environment. The air you breathe - do you wear perfume, burn candles, use plug-ins, use "air freshners", use scented products including laundry detergent, shampoo, soap, use dryer sheets? All these contain chemicals you breathe in or absorb through the skin. The food most people eat is full of chemicals and artificial junk, high in non-nutrition. Gluten is a huge problem with a lot of people. Asper tame, sucrolose, etc bad for the body. Journal everything you do and eat. Look for a pattern. And just TRY not eating the biggies like gluten and dairy. No doctor will help you find the answer. They only want to prescribe. But don't give up. There IS reason for the pain. You just have to find it.

Frequent bad headached. Exedrin extra stength is all that works for me. So I had to buy generic Family dolla store brand. I did my best to research ingredients on bottles and on google. The key active ingredients are identical to excedrin extra strenth and thank goodness working. I also half the time have night headaches because of the 65% caffine I have to take one excedrin and two exedrin PM...so now it is one generic and two sleep aid pills. I too hope for them all to be back on the shelf soon.

I to suffer from terrible headaches and excedrein is the only thing that gets me back on my feet I do agree you have to be careful of how many you take in a day they can be very addictive. I just ran out and am now taking generic brand which don't work I have had this headache for 3 days now. Please bring excedrin back...

You can stil purchase the travel packs at convenience stores. It good in a fix, but a little expensive

Don't know if this has to do with the excedrin recall, however around Christmas I was sick and taking excedrin migraine, extra strength, and tylenol cold and sinus. I got a nose bleed 4 days in a row. On the 5 day it wouldn't stop. Had to be hospitalized for weeks. I had two operations to stop the bleeding and two blood transfusions. Has anyone had a nose bleed after taking these meds?

I'm going to have to go buy them at Mexico

Excedrin migraine is the only thing that will work on my headaches. I too went to Walgreens tonight to buy some and they didn't have it ,looked at Walmart and asked the pharmacist. He said it was recalled and they were told to remove it from their shelves. I can't cope without it when I get my headaches. HELP!!

Was Told Today Excedrin Will NOT Be Back

I read in the wall street journal website that excedrin migraine, and products of the like, were not pulled only because of "broken pills mixed in", but because "a batch was mixed with morphine and other opiots", so what???? if i go to the hospital with a migraine, what do they give me, morphine and $2000 bill.

I forgot to mention.... I live with pain every day. Excedrin Migraine is the only thing that works and it takes away ALL of the pain in just a few minutes. I have been plagued by migrains since I was about 5 years old and the ony other meds that worked were massive doses of ibuprophen. Now I have liver disease, stomach ulcers, and an undiagnosable pain in my left side. Please bring back Excedrin Migraine as it was.

The truth about the recall is that all bottles were purchased by one person. I have it on good information from my hair dresser's butcher's girlfriends mother-in-law that a golden capsule was placed in one bottle. The finder of the golden capsule will get a lifetime supply of excedrin, excedrin migraine, excedrin PM, ......... Yes, everyone its me, ive got it, its mine, ALL MINE, AAAHHHHHHAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA....... You see what pain does to me....

I can only hope that Excedrin(all products) will again appear on shelfs, in all the usual stores.

Strange circumstance.................been taking Excedrine for years for migraines. Around the time of the recall I had taken some excedrine and noticed some very bad stomach pains. Since I was also prescribed recently Lisinopril I felt it was what was causing the problem. Consulted the doctor and have been on a roller coaster ride with this problem. Quit Lisinospril after a full gall bladder check and an endoscopy was done as well. Have no real clue that Excedrine was the cause but my comments to my doctor was that I had taken two and the problem started. I advised him I was afraid to take any more. He felt it was strange after all these years of use and shrugged it off. It is not available in the store as of 2/19/12 so dealing with my headaches is difficult. Seems like the medication has been off the market way to long for such a "strange" issue of misspackaged. Stomach issue is a constant bother as of today.

Exedrine is the only only thing that I found that helps my headaches.

I found a gas station that still sale them..who want me to grab them some?

WOW!! After reading all these posts, I find I am not alone. For YEARS, I have been on a rollercoaster of doctor ordered migraine medications which did not work. I was also in and out of emergency rooms with shots of morphine. Only to find that something purchased over the counter worked--- EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE. It worked so much so, that I went to Costos and purchased a 300 caplet bottle (a while ago). I hadn't heard about the recall until yesterday when another Migraine sufferer told me and she didn't know what she was going to do. I shared some of mines with her. I spoke with my Dr. about Excedrin Migraine and he told me that medication "like" Excedrin Migraine can sometimes cause the body to have "false migraines", and to be careful about taking them days in a row, or to many in a short number of days. I don't know how true this is??? But I say this because of another post: About the product being reintroduced on the shelves but some of the ingredients changed or lowered. I really hope that this is not the case, because the product is a good one, and works well for so many people. I have suffered from Migraines for over 30 years, and never found something which works as well and as quickly. I like so many who posted here, wonder how long it will be before they are back on shelves. Meanwhile, I will continue counting the ones I have left and maybe lucking out and finding some at a gas station or some small store, like the other lady did.

I have also suffered for years with migraines and see a Neurologist in Boston. On many preventatives and take Treximet (life saver) when they are severe but you can only have a few per month. Otherwise you go to ER! Excederin migraine is a must have for smaller migraines. As long as you dont use too often you won't have recurring migraines. No other OTC migraine meds work. Please bring it back no matter what the recall reason was!!!! Helps so many people

As of February 21, 2012, the Novartis Consumer support was unable to provide a time table for when the production would resume for Excedrine Migraine in the Lincoln, NE plant. Wish I had better news. I have found that prescription Fiorinal helps and allows you to continue to work without any sleepy side effects. In the US, Fiorinal is a combination analgesic medication consisting of aspirin, the barbiturate butalbital and caffeine. As a note, some migraines are directly related to a change in atmospheric pressure, so keeping an eye on the weather can help to anticipate the potential onset of migraines.

Like all of you, I have unbearable headaches. I found Excedrin Migraine years ago and have used it daily ever since. There is not a day goes by that I don't suffer with headaches. This recall has literally put me in a tailspin! My head feels like it is being pulled off as I type this and I can no longer just go to the kitchen and get a couple of pills to take this pain away! PLEASE bring them back!!!!!!!! Generic brands are JUNK!!!

Jerry G., since I was little I have experience migranes for most of my life. When I turned 18 years I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I take every day a high dosage of antenlol for my age and I'm now 28 years. About 5 years ago I tried excedrine tension migraine pills and they are heaven aent, it makes life much easier for me, work, play, etc. So i feel for everyone. I pray and hope that we will get the products back on the shelfs.. I was shocked when I went to the store and found that they were on recall. This sucks and hope they get their stuff together.

Could it be though, that this product is addictive? And that's behind the recall? Sure, it works great but look how dependent we are on it. I read about people who take it everyday, some have used it since the 60s? I know some of the ingredients help headaches but I also understand. If you're use to taking those ingredients (like caffeine) everyday, then they're gone, THAT can create a headache. So maybe the company is in trouble for creating addicts? I know one thing for sure, their pr department sucks! Or is non-existent! You would think a company that is so big, would have teams of public relations types out there doing some damage control with lots of updates. Instead we're all left with a sign at the store that says to contact them. Leaving us with a lot of time to sit in pain and imagine the worst. So weird!

I have sufferred with migraines since I was 17 and have been prescribed by neurologist..and by hospital Docs after being with severe pain in the E.R and none of them have controlled my migraines like excedirne migraine did. I wish I had bought and stocked myself with this 15 min miracle pill .. I swaer. After I popped two id nap for (ust qt min and bam I. Even had skip on my walk. I loved them.. pleeeeaasssse bring them back. I have been taking other pain killers that only drain me and knock me out but I wake up with worst pain.

WHY WHY WHY DID I GO INTO THE STORE TO RESTOCK MY CABINET BEFORE I RAN OUT AND THEY TELL ME ALL EXCEDERINE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED???? REALLY!??? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!? then CVS gives me.their brand which says "COMPARABLE TO EXCEDERINE" WHEN is that gonna become true because its been FIVE hrs.now and my migraine has not even ATTEMPTED to.be gone!!! I do have a few Excederines left but im afraid to use them. PLEASE someone tell me when will this recall be over? BOGUS!!!

Just bought here in Pearl City, Hawaii at a 7-11 EXCEDRIN sinus if any one needed! Only sold in small packets!

Hello, fellow migraine sufferers--I talked to a representative at Novartis. She said they are working on getting Excedrin back on the shelves but she didn't have a date. All she could offer me was to be updated on the status by e-mail, but so far, it's been about a week, and I have not heard anything. I will post anything I hear. I woke up with another one today. I feel hopeless sometimes. It's just so debilitating. I know you understand.

DEBBIE B.
I to rely on Excedrin Migrain tabs daily. I have tried the other meds on the shelves from other companies such as Advil and they DO NOT work. I check the store everyday hoping to see them on the shelf again with no avail. Guess I will have to return to taking IMITREX which is really expensive compared to Excedrin Migrain, but what else is one to do. They definitely have us over a barrel.

All I can say is I hope this is resolved. I had to buy the generic version & as a chronic headache & migraine sufferer, excedrin is the ONLY thing that works.

please get excedrin back soon. I am thinking of making an offer to all of the coupon hoarders that probably have stockpiles of them LOL

I think I will take a little trip to Canada and get what we can no longer get in the US...put in your order and I'll share...

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE WHEN EXCEDRIN WILL BE BACK IN THE STORES????? This sucks!!! Havent had any for 7 days and nothing else is working that ive tried!!!!! Mom_mx20@yahoo.com

Hey just something to keep in mind: major retailers (711, albertsons, safeway, wawa, fredmeyers, etc) HAVE to take recalled items off the shelves ... but think about the little mom 'n pop shops around you. I just bought a bottle of our favorite migraine geltab. Just wanted to share my find with all my fellow migraine sufferers. I hope, at the very least, this can help at least one of you.

Your company sucks, you can't even reply to anyone's pleas. I too am a sufferer of migraines but that is bs!!! I think your company is just in danger of bankruptcy and that's why you have "recalled" your product.

Hey I tried the Equate Headache from Walmart. It worked ! After trying everything whose name contained migraine ( and I was feeling desperate ) I figured what the heck and bought the Equate Headache.It was only 94 cents so I figured I didn't have anything to lose. It contained the exact same ingredients as Excedrin Migraine. Every morning I wake to a headache which turns into a migraine if I don't have something to take. The Equate has worked the past two mornings ! Hope this might help some of you out there suffering too.

I take Excedrin Migraine caplets and they work well. I was wondering why they were pulled from the shelves and have had to use the store brands, in which do not seem as good. I am able to buy the small Packets at the convenient stores. Never had any problems with tampered or broken caplets. Hope the problem is resolved soon. I was thinking its because they work so well that the pharmaceutical companies found Excedrin to be too competitive with prescription migraine meds.

Glad I came across this site. I had no idea that Excederin Migraine was recalled until I sent my hubby to the store to pick some up. I was devastated and the substitute medication I tried did not work a bit. I am very anxious to know like everyone else when or if it will be back on the market. In the mean time I guess I will have to keep looking for a substitute that works :-(

i have been having migrains since i injured my back in 1996 and had a milogram done for the purpose of finding nerve damage. i have taken everything known to man for relief of my migrains and nothing worked until being introduced to excedrin migrain. i feel that the only reason this has been recalled is because doctors were loosing money due to patients finding out more and more over a period of time that exedrin migrain actually works. i feel that the doctors got in touch with politicians which in turn got in touch with fda and had it removed. i believe that it is all a money thing. something that most people dont have and most dont have insurance or the money to pay for any perscriptions that are out there that dont work anyway. that is just so that they can keep you coming back to them to run your bill up and knowing there is no way to pay for it. which in turns ruins your credit.

I suffer from migraines too, but i have through the years if i have ran out of Excedrin, i take two extra strenghth Tylenol/Acetaminophin 500mg with a cup of extra strong coffee (brewed for those that are not sure what i mean) Works well when in a bind!! I miss my Excedrin, but i have been doing this until it comes back.. Please try it!! Generic brands dont work for me either

You can buy it online at Wholesale Warehouse Supply, Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max.

I am very upset to know that this has happened. I have tried other migrane meds and there is no comparison to Exdrine Migrane for me. I hope who every is reading these comments will understand that there is people out here that suffer with MIGRANES and the only relief that we would like to have instead of prescription drowsiness is STAIGHT RELIEF!!!!! So please understand this is a plea for MIGRANE HELP. Thank you!

Please does anyone know when excedrin for migraine coming back????? I get really bad ones and it's the only thing that works!!! I've tried everything and nothing works!!! I'm so upset I have a few left I've had a migraine almost everyday!!

Most store should have their brand of Excedrin Migraine. If anyone knows where they sell the tension off brand PLEASE let me know

Lets send all our er bills to the company! Maybe they will finally hear and feel the consumer.

I would really like to know why they have recalled excedrin. My fellow friends and myself would like to have a sigh of relief. It spells EXCDRINE> Thanks.

We the excedrin people would like to have the choice of whether we should take them or not. It's not our fault that mistakes were made. It's better than some of the medicine that is given to you by your physician's. Help us and please get it back on the shelves.

Oh my I came down with a terrible migraine yesterday and sent someone to the store to get Excedrine Migraine, I thought it was a joke that these have been pulled off the shelf! I had to get Advil Migraine and it does not work!!! Excedrine was the only over the counter medicine that worked for me besides the high dose prescription Sumitriptan that I can't stand to take. Please bring these back quickly!!!

Excederine does work but if u take very often you are prabably getting rebound headaches, just went off due to neurolisgists orders, ended up in er with 4 drug cocktail to get rid of headache, I will never take again.

If anyone hears on the re-stocking date could u please email me at mitzi_harrelson@yahoo.com. Getting worse tried everything. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I have read most of the replies. I see their are many people suffering from this recall. I also know that there is a reason for the recall, and it is for the public's safety or it would not have been pulled from the shelves. Look at the people that relied on this medicine for there migraines and other aches and pains. It goes to show you that it is a great product, and it is non-narcotic. The generic brand I have tried. It doesn't hold a light to excedrin. We just want what works for us.

Walmarts over the counter brand of Equate migraine medication states "Compares to Excedrin Migraine" is worked for 10 minutes, CVS brand which also compares to Excedrin Migraine didnt work at all, neither did Advil Migraine. Luckily, I also have bronchitis, so I tried a double dose of the caugh medicine with Codine. That worked, but I slept the whole night and the next day, woke up and its now the next night, WOW, where did the day go? This is what I have to look forward to? Please bring back my Excedrin Migraine so I can function.

If anyone has noticed at the bottom of this page, there is an ad for "Ask a Lawyer Online Now" I clicked on it, filled out the info, hit enter an in less than a minute I got a call from a service which connected me to a Lawyers office in my area. I dont usually endorce ads on the internet, but in this case, I would like to suggest a class action suit against Novartis for creating a recall without supplying a new replacement in a timely fashion. I dont know if it is a viable cause, but pain has been felt by far too many to go unnoticed.

I suffer from chronic migraines (+15 days/month) My neurologist wrote me a script for something called Panlor = acetaminophen, caffeine, dihydrocodein. The 1st 2 ingredients are in excederin migraine, the dihydrocodein is a synthetic form of hydrocodon - its not a narcotic, so its not addictive & you don't get a "high" feeling either. I now refer to Panlor as excederin migraine on crack (it works that well for me, better than excederin migraine. I'm just sharing to be helpful, I understand that prescriptions are more $ than excederin migraine, but I also know when I have a migraine I want it to go away no matter what the cost (speaking from experience)

Hi Dave. Good luck with you eBay purchase. Just sharing as info, the liver damage warning for Panlor is due to the acetaminophen, which is also in excederin migraine, and re: addiction, from drugs.com Panlor SS may be habit-forming and lead to DEPENDENCE if used in high doses or for a long period of time.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you are able to get whatever helps! :-)

I worked for a drug company for 22 years, in the packaging dept. if chipped or broken tablets is the only thing wrong they should not have to be recalled. But if the wrong tablets were put in the bottles then yes recall. But who ever was running the line should have pick up on that right away. You have to have the product signed in by QA or a Supervisor. So something else maybe going on that they are not telling.

So, now it has been almost 3 months without Exedrin and I have also been to the Urgent Care 3 times. I constantly have a migraine and no generic does not work. Doesn't even touch it... When are they going to bring Exedrin Migraine back?? I am tired of this migraine, seriously!!

I discovered Excedrin Migrane as a solution to my headaches over 10 years ago, but many times I took it too late and still suffered the pain and getting sick .... Once I recovered I would then be hyped up from the caffeine (usually late @ night negatively impacting the following day). Several years ago I discovered the primary trigger of my headaches - rapid changes in barometric pressure (stress & fatigue are also factors, but the barometric changes are the primary trigger). Now I monitor this with weather forecasts, a barometer with an alarm and noting when I start feeling a little droopy for no obvious reason and pop one (1) Excedrin Migraine and I am good to go. Most weeks I only need 3-4 tabs to prevent my headaches and rarely if ever take a full dose. Hopefully this type of dosage is not a health hazzard. My wife just came home with a generic and I hope and pray it works or else I will be laying in a dark bedroom sometime in the next week praying it does not go through the full cycle knocking out another chunk of my life. I hope Excedrin Migraine is back on the shelves shortly and we all are able to be confident we can fend off the headaches that can deprive us of a quality life.

I have tried advil and Tylenol neither work. I just want something to stop the pain. The pharmacist said the generic was nothing more than tylenol. I told her that was a waste of money.

Someone mentioned BC Powders...I used them for years before I discovered Excedrin. The only difference in BC and Excedrine is, Excedrine has 250 mg of Acetaminophen in it. Well folks, that's a 250 mg Tylenol.....make your on Excedrine!!

....Also VANQUISH has the same ingredients only in smaller amounts.

VANQUISH contains the following ingredients:
Same as Excedrine but in smaller amounts
Active Ingredients per caplet:
aspirin 227 mg
acetaminophen 194 mg
caffeine 33 mg

I. Have been without my excedrin migrane for to long nothing else works. I applaud your concern for us but think about this we need your medicine right now. So many of us can only depend on you

My daughter and I are frequent migraine sufferers and would like to know that this product will be put back on the shelves soon. Novartis, don't you want our money?

Wow I'm still in shock I really need excedrin back for many reasons! This is insane! The paiiin the horror I need ittttttt!

Like everyone else who has experienced migraine headaches, Excedrin Migraine is the ONLY medication that works for me. (I could hug the scientists who came up with this precisely-correct mixture of compounds). If I take it the MINUTE my checks start becoming numb and the vice grip starts closing in on my head, Excedrin Migraine will make the foreshadowing symptoms of a lost day disappear. I thought my migraines were actually gone. (I never believed in them in the first place - until I had one). But they aren't gone, I've been PREVENTING them by taking this marvelous drug at the first signs of onset. This morning I used Walgreens extra strength Headache Relief and it stopped the head pain. My cheeks are still numb though as I write this, but I can handle that. I hope the Excedrin people realize the good their product does and are working overtime to get it back on the shelves as soon as they feel everything is checked out!

I am waiting for Excedrin to come back on the shelf too. But I bought Equate Migraine and it works, but takes a little longer. Also BC powder works really good (if you can stand the taste). But I'll keep looking for excedrin. Hope its back on the shelves soon.

Afted reading this flood of comments here, I knew I was not alone in my desperation for migrains relief. I call the customer service number that I found on the excedrin website and the rep told me that excedrin wont be back on the shelves until June but the smaller packages which were no affected by the recall and safe to take and are available at most gas stations and convenience stores. im going to try my local stations in hopes of finding something because i just used the last of my stash of excedrin this week. i hope that this tiny amount of information helps.

I have been suffering from migraines since I was 19, now I am 47. I have been on Midrin and Imetrex. Nothing worked until Excedrin Migraine. Right now, I have to take 3 to 4 Advil Migraine to work. Please bring back my Excedrin!

How do you order Excedrin Migrane on line? Site name please,.

I have severe chronic migraines. I have suffered with them for years! THE ONLY thing that helps is exedrin migraine extra strength! Luckily I have a few bottles stashed in my purse and travel bag. If I run out before finding a replacement tha really works I will have no other option but to kill myself!

I'm a canadian and just so you all know the wonderful drug we have all been taking to help us get through our days has been recalled here toodoes anyone know if they are coming back and if so when???

What's going on?This can't be happening!I've suffered debiltating headaches for 18yrs.I've tried everything but only Excedrin works!My husband has had brain surgery for epilepsy & he too feels that only Excedrin works!I don't have health ins to start gettn a script!WE NEED EXCEDRIN NOW!

I had back surgery last year and now have almost daily headaches that start at the base of the neck and rise up and over the head til my eyes hurt. The whole skull seems to ache. The only thing that helps within 30 minutes is a bottle of old Excedrin pills! I only have a few left. Please put them back on the shelf.

I suffer from migraine headaches, and the only thing that works for me is Excedrine. Nothing else works... And excedrine is the only thing I take and has been taking.... I have to take it every other day because of my migraine... Now iam at home and it's 12:58 in the morning and I can't go to sleep cause my head is killing me..... I had to miss work today because my head hurts so much, on top of that I suffer from High Blood pressure, So when ever I get amigraine headache my bloodpressure goes extremely high... Now I might end up having to go to the hospital.... Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz put excedrine back on the shelves.... cause I CANT deal with these migraines and my blood pressure rising....

I'm a flight attendant from Holland and one good day I discovered Excedrin Migraine. The only thing that ever worked, I used to fly to the US, especially to buy these pilIs. I can't believe they took them away from me, I can't get anything like it in Holland or any other European country. Still have some left, but afraid to use these, only in very bad attacks. Please let me know when and if they are coming back in stores!

I don't understand why some people say the generic (which there are a ton of different brands--every store has one) does not work for them--it is the same exact ingredients--you could even take 1 aspirin, 1 tylenol & some caffeine--realyy it is the aspirin & caffeine that do it--the caffeine just makes the aspirin & tylenol work better.

Do you have an expected date when Excederin PM may be safe to enter the stores and resume sales?

As a Migraine sufferer, I REFUSE to discard the remaining Excedrin Migraine. Those of us who suffer know how crucial these tablets are. If there's no medical issue, please relieve us sufferers and return Excedrin to the shelves. You have no idea what we are going
through! Please hurry.

Gary yes i work for companies that manufacture things and it did not take years to clean our company would have it cleaned every night for inspection that is a bogus lie and the people that make excidrine migrane should be up front with there loyal customers that have used there product for years and have had no more pain because of their product that works so well, keep the pressue on them to give everyone a answer or bring their product back to us take care everyone i hope relief is back soon. im in the same boat as all of you.

I am wondering if it is the great coupons that were out that is causing the delay. I was getting tons if it for free and helping many friends and family to get it. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't return until those coupons expire which I believe is not until the end of the year.

I would rather be dead than to suffer with bad headaches. When will Excederin be back???

I'm on 100mg of topiramate a night which seemed to cut my 15 monthly migraines down to 2 or 3 a month. As a Migraine sufferer for 3 years now i've tried everything, and the only thing that seems to work is Excedrin Migraine, ICE and a nap.. I finished my last of mine the other day went to walmart and didn't see it, went to pathmark sign for a recall.. I have no clue what I'm going to do when the next one comes around.. When will this be back?

Just so you know, I havent seen a gas station yet that has pulled them from their shelves....as long as you dont mind paying a premium. 1.50/foil packet containing 2 pills.
David

I need the Excedrin Migraine. It's the only one that works. The only bottle I found was $65 for 100. I think this is a conspiracy. Forcing migraine sufferers to buy useless products or go to prescription meds. Help.

H E L L O . . . . I need Excedrin Migraine every day to make my other medication work!? This is a real Pain!? All the other manufacturers of "non-name brand" tyl-asp-&caffein do not have to take their products off the market out of respect - honor or fear??????????? I mean Really!? We the people need products that have been developed for sale which companies now make a profit on! At what point are they all allowed to get together & determine the entire market to our detriment without anthing legal being done to them? What happened to the Monopoly Laws? H E L L O ????? Anyone??? Most Sincerely, CC I will take all your EM or at least the ND so I am able to put it w/the other two? Dear Lord!?

So far I've had to go to all my friends & relatives cleaning out thier old medicine cabinets but soon very soon I will be in big trouble?

Grind up one aspirin and one tylenol and mix it in a cup of strong coffee. This will deliver the same medication that Excedrin contains as quickly as Excedrin is able to do it.

Maybe keep the powder set side so you can microwave a cold cup of coffee with it in a hurry.

Would constant migraines even after taken Excedrin Migraine caplets be an issue?
I have been taking Excedrin Migraine for years and only found out about the recall TODAY when I went to purchase another bottle and could not find it. Asked the pharmacist and he informed me that it had all been pulled off the shelves a few months ago. Should be a better way to inform all of the public. I do not get local channels not the newspaper. DM Perreault

when will we be able to buy more Excedrin? SOON I HOPE NOTHING ELSE WORKS FOR MY HEADACHE! !!!!!!

Excedrin I love u and I hope they bring u back u r turly missed

Please, please, please bring my Excedrin for Migraines back. They are the only thing that works and I'm in pain!

Rebound headaches from taking a product tooooo much is very common. Extra strength Anacin has the same ingredients and it works. I have had migraines for 30+ years, Anacin has worked for me. Costco used to have their own brand, that was also good. I doubt highly this is "political" or a "conspiracy", I think this is a company that is trying not to have a death or a lawsuit on their hands...they have to investigate,it takes time. I'd rather they do that then never put it back on the shelves to soon. Xtra strength Excedrine is exactly the same as Excedrine Migraine, except the price!

I have a migraine now! I have been taking off brand migraine meds twice a day and it only decrease the pain for a few hours and then the pain comes back. I was recently shopping at my local dollar tree and glance behind the counter to see excedrin migraine. They are selling excedrin migraine in packets for a buck. I brought the whole box which were $15 dollars for 15 packets = 30 pills , what a rip off, but I NEED. Them badly. I also notice that they are selling excedrin migraine at 7-11's for about .89 cents more for only 2pills. So guys they are out there, but it's going to be costly cause they know those damn pills work.

Thank Sue, Please keep me updated!

Anacin Advanced Headache has the same ingredients as Excedrin Migraine/xtra strength Excedrine, xtra strength anacin doesn't have Tylenol ingredient.

I think something more sinister is going on. How can they afford to keep these products off the market for Months? I think it is the Government requisitioning for the coming US Civil Collapse and wars against the citizenry. Go ahead and laugh,I've been stockpiling. See ya all in battle!

I love Excedrin Midgraine and cant wait for it to be back on the shelves. What ever it has in it or whatever I need to do to get it, I will gladly do, but I can't find any anywhere =[. Wish there was more informations out there letting us know the whole reason why its not on the shelves.

I feel the same way about no doz. it is no where and no body has any information to why!! I want it back!!! It has been over 4 months!!! Someone is clearly not doing their job!!

That the Excedrin products are not back on the shelves is a crime. Why have the news people not bothered to look in to why "chipped" tablets would cause a wholesale product recall? Why would the factory not be able to restock for so long a time? Something smells about this....

I now have had to try the generic migraine pills, it takes an hour for them to work when Excedrin magraine just 15 min... please please put Excedrin magraine back on the shelves. If I would of known this info I would of stocked up!!!!

Wow! It seems to me that a lot of people are " hooked" on Excedrin. It has been proven that if you take something over and over you're body will think it needs it to survive and will create more pain so you will continue to feed it the very thing that is keeping you from getting better.

This is for BJ have you ever suffered from a migraine? The answer must be No because if you had you would not be saying that. Excedrin Migraine is the only thing that works for my migraines. I have been to the hospital so many times I lost count and was put on all kind of drugs, one time they even tried a blood patch which didn't work. It has been over a year since my last one, and the only thing that has ever worked was Excedrin Migrain.
BB

If your insurance covers it, Botox injections every 3 months drastically reduced my migrane.

Excedrin Migraine is and has been the only thing that works for me. Any other migrane meds knock me out and make me dizzy for hours where as Excedrin Migrane allows me to continue working and carry on with my day. I have searched high and low hoping that any small outlet might still have some on the shelf....please, let me know when and if I could order some direct as soon as possible.
Monika

I see a major law suit coming from some where ??? The reason it worked so well is because all of u users was taking a small amount of Percocet mixed with the excedrine , headaches was gone in no time . They got caught up in it , and everyone was using it . I bet there stock prices was sky high at the time . They pulled it befour they really got into major trouble . Yes it's all covered up now , they are in the clear . And made lots of money doing it . It was all set up

Give me my excederin for migraine! Like an idiot I gave up my supply. My headaches are BACK!

I totally agree with David Schwartz
the only over the counter medicine that works is Excederin Migraine, and I refuse to go on a prescription I would not be insurable at that point

Chad peters
I think you don't know what you are talking about if I took percocet I would be in the hospital. The one thing I do know is that the last migraine I had I was out of work for the day and if I had my Excederin I would have been fine. I take my excederin go to bed and wake up a new person

I have horrible migraines and the only thing that helps is the migraine Excedrine. When will these be back on the shelves. I am in need of them asap.

Pleas bring back Excedrin Migraine it is the only medication that works for me. Do you know when it will be back in the stores? If you have ever had a migraine you would understand. When you find something that works its a miracle. Please let me know when it will be back in the stores.

'Caffeine' Is the MAGIC BULLET for migraines, 'Benadryl' ( ingredient) is the SLEEPY(dyphenhydramine -sorry bout SP?)..the acetaminaphen and/or the aspirin Makes Both work better...I have had my bother buying benadryl and tylenol seperately for a year..as they are cheaper this way and have the same med. Inside. A church I went to doesnt believe in drinking Coffee-or caffeine at ALL! But I got a 'special note' from my Dr because of migraines and R.A...He wrote that It's the 'Caffeine' that is the trick, truly.

Excedrine migraine is d only thing that works I have tried everything n my head has been hurting for days even got a rx for my migraines n it still hurts keep checking store shelves hoping but sadly I can't find any plz start back making dis product honestly the way i been feeling I would've been happyto just take my chances because now my days are filled with headaches

Excedrin pm were the only one to put me to sleep ;-( bring them back !!!

My husband works as a compounder in a large pharmaceutical company. All things are possible...BUT...this is nonsense. There are sooo many checks in place that
the chances of 1 contaminated batch are slim to none! My guess...wait and see...it'll be back prescription. Only!!!! P.s. I take percocet and morphine for chronic pain...excedrin works wonders. Especially for migraines...c'mon!

I have suffered with migraines for years. I take imitrex when they are bad but it seems to be taking longer to take effect. Excedrin Migraine works if I take it at the onset of a migraine. But I do agree with the people saying you can become addicted to it. I used to take it 2 or 3 times a day to keep my headaches under control. I believe I was having rebound headaches . I made myself suffer for several days without taking it and finally I stopped having so many headaches. Try taking a product with the same ingredients but with a drink containing alot of caffeine. I have read many articles saying caffeine makes pain relievers work faster. I love excedrin migraine and am down to 4 pills and don't know what to do either. I only take it now when I absolutely have to. Also, I quit sleeping with my cell phone charging on my bedside table after reading how some people get headaches from that. Believe it or not my headaches have decreased even more. I don't wake up with one each morning now. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!

Will Excedrin Migraine ever come back on the market? My wife used to suffer from frequent migraines and Excedrin seemed to help. Though she has been migraines have stopped entirely I would like to keep something around just in case they return.

PLEASE BRING MY EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE BACKKKKK...... THANK GOD I QUICKLY BOUGHT 2 BOTTLES BEFORE THEY RECALLED; THEREFORE I AM GOING VERY SLOWLY TAKING THEM BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BRING THEM BACK. I SUFFER WITH MY MIGRAINES SOME DAYS MORE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE PILLS TO OFTEN AS BEFORE AND THEN ONE DAY WAKE UP AND I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PILLS LEFT................PLEASE, WE, MIGRAINE SUFFERERS ARE SUFFERING BADDDDLY..............BRING EXCEDRIN MIGRAINE BACK

Ebay has some Excedrin Migrain on there for sale. They go high some a $1 per tablet -- but if they work for you , you should check it out. I am struggling financially right now and used to take it all the time. But my body must be used to it because it doesnt work for me anymore. I just checked my cupboard and just found a sealed box of excedrine migrain 125 tablets. I am going to put it on there and see what I get for it. I am struggling and even though it doesnt seem right, I have to do what I have to do to feed mine. Maybe someone who really needs it will appreciate it whether they pay more for it or not.

Please tell me where I can buy Extra Strength Bufferin 500 mg. Nothing else works.

Just got off the phone with novartis who make excedrin and they state end of july it will be back on the shelves... you can contact them at 1-800-452-0051 or www.novartisotc.com

They were taken off the shelf because there were opioids found in some...that could explain the excellent headache relief and the addiction that some people on here are talking about...I have worked in a pharmacy for 7 years...they are planning to come back out with the same strengths of every ingredient minus the opioids...this is called a SAFETY recall for a reason people...it is to protect the consumers not make people go to the ER...

I have found them for sale on ebay. They are really expensive. It was 81.00 for 100 pills

I'm a migraine sufferer too and had to go to the ER today. They gave me fioricet which is acetaminophen, butalbital and caffeine. It is working for now.

I had a terrible migraine, my husband went to the store b/c I had to have exceddin migraine, the only thing that works for me. He came home, gave me water and pills, I noticed it looked different, but was too bad off to ask, just assumed it was excedrin A couple hours later I got up and found my way downstairs and asked him what the heck he gave me, I was no better off.. He hoped i would not notice, he is a medic. Following week thought I had to go to the er for relief. Last week, I had a migraine coming on for 3 days, first day took other migraine brand, second day 3 Tylenol and 3 hours later, it was creeping up again and when I got home ended up taking prescription Tylenol 3 with codine and graugy the next morning when I got up for work. I hate this. I will try the Brand someone found at Safeway as there is one nearby. Thanks for the information.

I had a large bottle of Excedrin Migraine I purchased from Costco. I got the notification in the mail that it could be returned. I didn't return it and kept using it. No problems until a few days ago. I am just about at the bottom of the bottle. I found a large pill in there that is white and says AMC on one side and on the other side it has a division mark and one side says 375 and the other says 125. Have no idea what it is. Coni

Thats really bad for people who could be allergic to amoxicillin!

I also have not gotten relief from anything other than Excedrin for Migraines. It is the end of July, any word on when they will be back on the shelves? Do you think the "New" Excedrin for Migraines will work just as good? I sure hope so because it is the only thing that helps me....

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE EXCEDRIN MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MARKET FOR FEAR OF A LAWSUIT! Afterall the comments on this blog attest to the fact there are many people addicted to it. I know I am! What cheaper way for the company to avoid a massive financially destructive lawsuit than to just remove it with some lame excuse and escape with all their money intact? Call me crazy but... THINK about it first.

BRAND NAME DRUGS VS GENERICS. I have been the manager of a medical testing lab (neurology) for 17 years, and have interviewed at least 15,000 patient for medical history. It is clear that the answer to question of whether brand name drugs are better or the same as generics, or vice-versa, can only be answered by the person taking the medications. Countless patients have told me over the years about their experiences with medications, and the only thing for certain is that each person has to experiment to find which med is effective for them. Don't believe the marketing.

I spent 3 days in the hospital after taking Excedrin Migraine (2 tablets in the morning for 5 days in a row because I thought I had virus related headache.The first four days I started experiencing severe chest pains within 45 minutes of taking the excedrin migraine. I would then take another pain med and maalox to combat the chest pain and it would go away after another hour of resting in a chair. On the fifth day, nothing would relieve the pain. I thought I may be having heart attack because I felt the pain was going down my left arm. I managed to drive myself to my husbands job 5 mins. away where he took me to hospital. Spent 3 days there undergoing heart and digestive tests. Nothing found except red stomach. Prescribed Reglan. Next day blood pressure so low I could not get up. Refused Reglan. Blood pressure returned to normal. Was finally given regular meal and told could leave if meal did not cause chest pain. All was fine and left hospital. Drs. made stress test appointment for me. No Excedrin Migraine in hospital and did not take again for 7 days. The next sunday, I took two from the same bottle as before. Within 45 minutes began the chest pain again. Refused to return to hospital. Had heart stress test next week. When arriving home, found letter saying my Excedrin Migraine was in recall. I am highly allergic to codeine. Causes chest pain! Took Excedrin Migraine for years and bought at Sams Club only once.

Also want everyone to know that this was a new bottle unopened that I bought at Sams Club during holiday.

Try any generic store brand. For those who say they aren't the same... Try putting the generic form. In the Ecedrine bottle. Look up the difference between generic vs name branded drugs . It's mostly a psychological thing.

According to Excedrin's Facebook page, it'll be back in stores in October. Let's hope so.

Feverfew tabs, they are an herbal, start taking them religiously every day. In a few months your migraines will disappear. You maybe be able to stop for awhile, and resume taking of you get another migraine.

Migraines can be caused in some women by excessive hormones, ie, birth control pills or HRT. When I stopped taking the pill 40 yrs ago, the 2x weekly migraines went away. Not one in all that time. Went thru 'the change' with no hormone replacements for fear of triggering another migraine. My son takes feverfew - hasn't had a migraine in years.

I too suffer from 'migraine clusters' and the only thing that knocked them out was the Excedrin migraine. I still have a bottle left and don't know what I'll do when it's gone. The generic brands don't work as well for me. Guess I'll try my own concoction until I get a mix that works...aspirin, ibuprofen and caffeine tablets, which may be a bit harder to find since they also took No-Doz off the market too!!! I know aspirin and ibuprofen is not a safe mix but being in such pain you want to beat your head against the floor isn't either. Will also check into some homeopathic treatments as well.

Many people also don't realize that with the generic vs the brand name thing, it's the fillers that affect the way the body is able to utilize the medications. Some fillers are just too darn hard for a person's body to break down to get to the medicine while for others it's not a problem. Yes, the same dosage of medicine may be in the generic but the fillers are not the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. So understanding how our bodies work with the generics will make it easier to choose a safe alternative to meds we can no longer get.

All of you retards.....I mean sheeple, WAKE UP. the FDA mandates that generics have to be chemically equivalent. Saying that Excedrin MIgraine has some special power is ridiculous. When you get a scrip from the hospital do you pay the extra $20-30 for name brand Vicoden or Penicillen? It is all in your head, and its called the placebo effect. People like you are why depression studies show that 50% of people respond to treament with a placebo (that's a sugar pill for you plain folk). When you buy Walmart's brand of generic Excedrin what does it say on the back? Another secret, look at the box of regular Excedrin, and Excedrin MIgrain, bet you feel stupid now, yes they are both the same. Plain old Asprin, Tylenol, and Caffeine. The caffeine counteracts the Main problem of Migraines-something you ate triggered a seretonin response, and the blood vessels in your head expanded, It's called vasodilation, and caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, also asprin was the very first anti-inflammatory, which also helps. The tylenol is there because it works on pain in a different way than asprin. You have bad migraines? Me too, well not as bad as they used to be, but do what i do: buy some caffeine tablets, and the next time you get a migraine..take two caffeine caps, four motrin or advil (yes, generic is fine), and two extra-strength tylenol. I just gave you the most powerful home remedy in existance for migraines, ask your doctor. OH BTW, Percocett in Excedrin? Really?

OH, please don't waste your money on homeopathic crap. Take the time to read about this fallacy, and why it cannot possibly work. Homeopathic meds are compounded, which means they take an ingredient, and mix it with water. then they take some of that, and.....yep mix it with water again, and so on, and on, and on. when you see something that says 16x or higher the dilution of the original ingredient is a number with too many zero's to print. 16x and higher is pretty much like taking the universe, and finding one molecule. The only reason stores still sell that stuff is its so cheap to produce, and uh ya you got it, the placebo effect. Wow, are we back here so soon?

Wow, this thread is just full of it. I am loving it, Jessica i would love the chance to give you that blindfold test, and ......uh, oh, oops was just thinking of a Jessica i worked with. I wish she would invite me over to blindfold her..........huh? Oh, ya generics, like I said I bet when you folks get a scrip from your doctor, and go fill it then think nothing of it, aren't concerned about generics then, because your insurance company surely isn't having anything to with name brands. Just think about it, use your god given ability to discern all of this silliness. Use your computer, and check for studies on generics. Make sure they are double blind studies, and you will find the truth. If your migraines are that bad anyway you should see a doctor, they know what causes them, and there are drugs available that help as well as other drugs that work on pain in other ways. Many docs are prescribing Elavil now to help: This pain relieving capacity of anti-depressants were at first believed to be linked to the depression mitigation effects, as depression may often be tied in with chronic pain. However, some anti-depressants, Elavil among them, have been seen to reduce pain even in patients not experiencing depression. Remember one thing, all kidding aside..I just want to help. I used to have massive cluster migraines, and it was terrible. From my early teens through my early fourties, now I get maybe two or three a year, and the coffee, 800mg advil, 1000mg tylenol solution works.

I am addicted to the no dose now i am taking jet alert but they make my face break out when can i get mo doze again

When is the excedrin back and body comeing back, can someone tell us or put it on the news or is a big secret?

Wow,,, so many posts to read them all. First of all, if you read the ingredients store brand and exedrine list the SAME ingredients. Just sitting here reading my old bottle of exedrine and my bottle of store brand. Same stuff. Secondly, if you look at the packaging for the PMS, Migraine etcetera, same ingredients. The manufacturers package them to the pain "market ". If you have cramps you pick up the PMS. If you have a migraine, you pick up migraine. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Haven't looked at the back pain, but I'm sure it's the same. You all are addicted to the name. I bought the store brand since the recall and put them in the exedrine bottle ...only difference, no "E "on the pill. Husband finally asked about the recall. And I said we had been taking the store brand for several months now. He laughed. Store brands run $2-$3 cheaper. So no offensive excedrine, I'll be sticking to the store brand, keeping my saved cash. And I also suffer from migraines, I just take 3 instead of 2 and a cup of coffee(and a handful of olives, it seems tjesalt helps me)
