Does excedrin migraine contain caffeine?
I get really bad migraines sometimes, and my friend suggested Excedrin Migraine. I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I need to know if this medicine has it. Don't want to make my headache worse!

Haan bhai, Excedrin Migraine has caffeine in it. It actually helps the pain relievers work faster for headaches. But remember, don't drink too much chai or coffee when you take it, otherwise you'll feel very restless.

Yes, it does contain caffeine. I took it once and my heart started racing so fast, it made me really anxious. Did anyone else also get these weird jitters and sleeplessness after taking it, or is it just me?

It definitely has caffeine, which can sometimes interfere with your sleep cycle and even thyroid hormone absorption if taken around the same time. Since my thyroid diagnosis, my doctor told me to track everything I take. Please consult your doc before starting any medication with caffeine.

Actually, I was just reading up on this because my friend takes it. It has around 65mg of caffeine per tablet, which is almost like a cup of instant coffee. So yes, it does, mostly to help constrict blood vessels and relieve the pressure.

It has caffeine, yes. But be careful, because too much caffeine from these pills can actually cause 'rebound headaches' once it wears off, which happened to me and made my migraine worse. I had to see a neurologist to fix my sleep and migraine routine, so don't self-medicate.
