As one who has had her share of migraines for 15 years I have tried every kind of over the counter relief, and when all is said and done, what seems to work best is Excedrin, hands down. If I take Excedrin Migraine at the first sign of an episode before the pain really gets a firm hold, it reverses the progression within a half hour and even prevents the waves of nausea that accompany the headache. Ibuprofin, on the other hand, still leaves me with a shadow of a headache for as long as the dose lasts and the queasiness also lingers. Acetaminophen is worthless. Looking at the ingredients I can't see where there is any difference between Excedrin Migraine and Excedrin Extra Strength except for different package colors and a special migraine-related warning on the Excedrin MIgraine version. Before they came out with the Migraine version I used Extra-Strength Excedrin with the same results. When I go to the drugstore however, I end up buying the Migraine labelled box anyway. Force of habit, I guess.
