What is the best substitute for Excedrin Migraine ## There are some generics, but from what I've heard from others that have tried them, none of them seem to work as well. Learn more Aspirin details here. Learn more Acetaminophen details here. Learn more Caffeine details here. The best suggestion I can really make is to check with your doctor, or pharmacist and see if they can recommend something that might help. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Excedrin is for 1. back, 2, sinus, 3 migraine, etc. All appear to have the same or almost the same formulation. I take it for the onset of sinus migraines. Works beautifully and sinuses drain within 30 min, usually preventing migraines. In the rare case Excedrin doesn't work, I have Imitrex on hand.

My wife has been on Brintellix/Trintellix for nearly a year now with great results. No other anti-depressant has been as effective in treating her symptoms. However, she has also suffered from migraines over the years, and she is not allowed to take the triptans that she used to take (Maxalt, etc.). Normally the Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) has been enough, but this most recent one was bad enough to require a trip to urgent care and a shot of a narcotic painkiller. Any suggestions on what migraine meds she can talk to her doctor about? ## Topamax, works awesome for me, it's cool once you get past the brain fog, and the weight loss. ## Hello, Patrick! How is your wife doing? Fioricet might also be another option to try, if her doctor approves. I didn't fin...

Inactive Ingredients: - Carnauba Wax - Silicon Dioxide - Hypromelloses - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Mineral Oil - Povidone - Starch, Pregelatinized Corn - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Corn - Stearic Acid - Titanium Dioxide Source: DailyMed, Ingredients and Appearance ## TCL 370, white oblong tablet is Acetaminophen 250 mg/Aspirin 250 mg/Caffeine 65 mg. ## Not sure why someone down-voted this person's post.

Hi, I've been having migraines everyday of the week. the most severe migraines generally occur 2x a week or so. My neurologist has tried me on Tramadol, Nadolol, Fioricet, Fiorilan, Propranolol, Topamax, Excedrine, Ibuprophen, Aceteminophen, you name it! Nothing seems to knock it out unless I go into a deep sleep (I'm talking 7 hours+) because a 3-hour nap won't knock it out. I need to know of any pain doctors in the manalapan/freehold/morganville/old bridge (central jersey area) that are willing to understand where my pain is coming from. The only thing that I've tried before that has knocked it out is oxycodone. I hear it's very addictive, but I'm not a drug addict I just need to knock out this pain! If anyone could pleaseeee help me with my situation. My neuro...

the only things different is:that plain bupap has no caffeine and twice the tylenol per pill than generic fioricet:Butalbital ## Hi, Mary! Sorry about the problem you're having with migraines. It could be that it's the caffeine that's helping your migraines. It does work for alleviating headaches for many people and people that frequently indulge in caffeine often find themselves getting headaches if they suddenly stop, or lower their intake. Learn more Caffeine details here. I frequently found that when I had a headache that nothing else would touch, the Excedrin products with caffeine often alleviated it. Do you drink coffee or tea regularly? ## Should I be concerned now that im taking the blue generic fioricet instead of the white generic. Im nervous about the change. The...

It's Excedrin migraine. Available over the counter. An innocent headache med. Still, I do not recommend taking it. ## Hi Amy, thanks for the heads up on the pill identification. I didn't notice anyone asking about it, but I would agree that there are other treatment options for a headache that don't necessarily require a pill or use acetaminophen/caffeine to combat tension. Whatever it may be that is causing one's headache to manifest, practicing mindfulness meditation throughout the day is an excellent remedy (at least in my own experience) that can be applied on the spot to create a sense of relief. When I personally maintain my peace of mind, headaches cease to exist. However when the mind is stressed out and out of balance one's body is more prone to catch and ho...

Why hasn't excedrin migraine returned ? ## Hi Gigi, Apparently it was just a precautionary recall, but I did find some more details on this topic (from the manufacturer Novartis) in an article linked below: huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/11/excedrin-recall-migraine-medicine-novartis_n_1664974.html Excedrin Migraine contains a combination of 250 milligrams of aspirin, 250 milligrams of acetaminophen (Tylenol is a popular brand) and 65 milligrams of caffeine. Wouldn't taking an aspirin, a Tylenol, and washing them down with a caffeinated drink (such as tea) accomplish the same thing?

The L374 oblong white pill is generic Excedrin Migraine. I don't understand why everyone has problems looking up drugs. (And by the way, take it from an addict - you shouldn't use, hydrocodone, or any opiates or drugs at all as these can easily cause your heart to stop. Get sober and be somebody that gives back to the world). ## @RockieAnn, Thanks for taking the time to share that pill information. And just to confirm for anyone else who might be reading, this pill is in fact a generic Excedrin, containing: Acetaminophen 250 mg + Aspirin 250 mg + Caffeine mg (NDC 0113-0374). NOT Hydrocodone. I realize with a lot of people posting for help on identifying something, they don't always know what to type in a search field and may be thinking that it's just easier for someone ...

What can I take for a headache if Excedrin migraine is not a good choice with sulfamethoxazole? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Aspirin and Sulfamethoxazole. While this doesn't necessarily mean that no interactions exist, it is my understanding that this combination is generally regarded as safe. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts about your prescription, I'd encourage you to consult your prescribing doctor before moving forward with anything else. Hope this helps! ## Can I take bc powder while on antibiotics sulfamethoxazole

Ok, here's the deal - In the past I've taken Excedrin Migraine, which proved to be very effective at killing a bad headache. It combines Acetaminophen, Aspirin, and Caffeine in decent doses. Now I basically have a sensitivity to caffeine, and the med makes me feel pretty weird when I take it. So I'm just thinking of taking the Acetaminophen and Aspirin ingredients separately so that I can have the same kind of med without the caffeine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any products in the stores which just have those two ingredients without caffeine being added in there. Thoughts anyone? Is there an OTC med out there that I missed which contains the ingredients I'm looking for? If not, could it be considered pretty safe to take the medications separately but ...
