Migraines are the worst headaches that anyone can suffer from. In my experience they can make you feel as though someone is hitting you in your head with a hammer over and over again. Through my years of being a migraine sufferer I tried almost every headache medicine there was out there. I found that there was simply nothing out there that would help me. Eventually, I stopped taking medicine all together for my migraines since there wasn't anything out there that seemed to help me. The all day nauseous feeling, sensitivity to light and sound, and the pounding pain in my head was something that I was willing to take anything that gave the promise to rid me of that. Being a mother of two small children never made the symptons any better. Headache or not I was still a mother with the responsibilities of taking care of my children.
One day my brother saw me getting ready to take some Tylenol PM for my headache. That's when I found out about the medicine Excedrin Migraine. He informed me that for his migraines our mother had introduced him to this new medicine for migraine sufferers. She had given him two to take for his migraine and he told me that it was the best thing for a migraine that he had ever came across. That's when he recommended that I take this so-called "miracle medicine".
I could not wait to get my hands on it. I had no choice but to take the Tylenol this time which as usual did not work for me. The next day I was sure to get to the local drug store to purchase my bottle of Excedrin Migraine. Once again, one of my worst migraines came just in time for me to test out this new medicine. I was home playing with my kids when my migraine hit me. Normally, I would have to try to rest in a quiet area because of the sensitivity to light and sound. This time I opened the bottle of Excedrin Migraine and took the recommended dose of two geltabs. Within about 30 minutes I was feeling much better and ready to continue playing with my children. My migraine headache was relieved before I really paid any attention that it was gone. I myself consider this to be the "miracle medicine for migraine sufferers".
The directions suggest that you take no more than two geltabs in a 24 hour period, unless directed by a doctor. This statement proves how strong this medicine is. Each geltab contains 250mg of Acetaminophen and 250mg Aspirin which are pain relievers and 65 mg Caffeine which is a pain reliever aid. This is why only two geltabs are recommended. From my experience this is all that is needed to rid yourself of those painful migraines.
An individual like myself who has tried almost every headache medicine available out there I would recommend this to anyone who suffers migraines. This is my "miracle medicine" which I faithfully carry with me everywhere that I go.
I am learning now the reason you are not take more than 2 in a 24 hour period is because they can be addicting.
I take 150 per month. My neurolgist says I would probably need to be hospitalized to get off the stuff.
