Jun, My neuro said to be careful of excedrin migraine(by the way did you know that it has the exact same ingredients as regular excedrin?) Just marketed differently...Tricky huh? Anyway my neuro said that there is a high incidence of rebound with exedrine, esp.if you take it often. I started taking it at the beginning of this cycle, before I could get to the doctor. I only took it at night with 50mg of benadryl. It seemed to work only in that I was groggy enough to go right back to sleep after the attack was over. I thought it worked pretty good for over the counter stuff..until I hit mid cycle 3--4 aday. I'm now trying to taper off verapamil and neurontin because I think I'm done...very scary. Lots of shadows,I'm afraid they will come back if I go off my meds.
