Excedrin Question

Hi. I used to to be on norco's 10/325 about 4 a day until a couple of weeks ago. I would be on and off of them. I now have been taking excedrin migraine medicine to get rid of the headaches and give me a boost of energy since it has caffeine. The problem is it works good but even though I eat something before I take it, about an hour or so later I am nauseous. Why does this happen if I eat like it says. Does anyone have any insight into this. Thanks .

I take 4 Excedrin 5 times a day for chronic headaches and pain from a car accident for 5 years now. Does anyone know the effects of this dose for this amount of time?

I must have a stomach made of lead.Take excedrin often and never an issue with my stomach but common complaint.U may need to simply take less.If u take2now take1wait an hour c how u feel if u need another take it.Just remember u will get rebound headaches if u stay on it a while then just stop.U eat before so have u thought of taking a less amount with coffee or soda cause that works too.

You may want to try the b vitamins for energy instead of using Excedrin.  Although Excedrin was a lifesaver for me in the beginning, I too found it to upset my stomach too much to keep taking it.

Try the b12 sublingual tablets.  They worked great for me.
