Excedrin Migraine and excedrin

For the past few days I have been getting extremely bad headaches, to the point that it makes me cry! So I took 2 excedrin migraines and a few hrs. later I began to get extremely nauseous, shacky, disorientated, and my heart started to beat really fast. Before I knew it I was slouched over the toilet vomiting! I then recalled the same thing happening to me a few months ago when i took excedrin migraines for a very intense migraine i had. I am never going to take those pills again. I dont want to push my luck andend up worse then I already have!

I am well acquainted with migraines, I went from bayer Aspirin to Tylenol to Motrin and finally to Excedrin and have been using Excedrin and occasionally Excedrin migraine. I have learned by the suggestion of a doctor who also is acquainted with migraines, to take the minimal amount of pain reliever at the onset of a headache. It is easier to stop a migraine when pain is at the early stages. Excedrin is the only thing I take at the onset. The migraines that I get start out as headaches and progress to migraines. Very rarely do I get a migraine which is suddenly induced.

I only took Excedrin occasionally, when I got really severe migraines because it was the only thing that worked. However, one evening before going out to dinner, both my roommate and I took 2 each, and wound up severely nauseous, dizzy, shaky, with upset stomachs. It was so bad, I thought we were going to have to go to the Emergency Room, but it finally wore off. I didn't take Excedrin for over a year after that because it scared me so badly. Finally, last Christmas, I was out to dinner with family, and I took 2 pills out of desperation for my migraine, and the same thing happened again. I almost passed out in the middle of the restaurant, and had to go lie down in the car. I'll never take Excedrin again.

I get migraines all the time and Excedrin Migraine really helped for a long time. It's the only thing that gets rid of my migraines. However, One day I was doing a lot of different stuff while battling a migraine and I took excedrin more than the reccomended dose for 24 hours without realizing it. I took 2 when I woke up, 2 after lunch and one more at about 5. I think I overdosed because I was having panic attacks and sweating and almost vomiting and losing my vision. Since then I have been more careful and payed attention to only taking it once a day. I have not had the same results since the incident and now whenever I take it I get fatigue, nausea, and most importantly I get depression so bad i can't get out of bed. I have such bad thoughts and everything when I take it and it lasts for about 26 hours. I cry and can't stop thinking about bad stuff and I refuse to leave my bed and can't go to class or talk to anyone. it's really bad. This is also bad for me because I have to choose between haviing a migraine or taking it, getting rid of my migraine but being depressed for one day.
