Novartis is recalling some bottles of Excedrin, NoDoz, Bufferin and Gas-X Sunday over concerns that the bottles could contain stray pills from other medicines, or chipped or broken tablets.

Novartis said that some of the bottles of headache medicine Excedrin and caffeine caplets NoDoz with expiration dates of Dec. 20, 2014, or earlier will be subject to the recall. Some of the packages of pain medicine Bufferin and stomach medicine Gas-X with expiration dates of Dec. 20, 2013, or earlier will also be affected.

I searched and didn't see this posted. As I am a avid excedrin taker I have been experiencing a very high pulse rate for the last few weeks. It could be related.

Excedrin migraine is an addicting drug.

I take that, like candy, I'm still alive, doesn't do nothing but help the painful headaches. Never had a bad experience. And, if I can't find Excedrin, my headache will last for a week to two weeks at a time, I won't be able to drive, because the light, will be so bad to where I won't be able to open my eyes or even get out of bed. They better have it on the shelves. Or, I better go to tomorrow and stock up on it now.

Thanks for the heads up.

Not me, I've been fine.

Might be from something else.

With this world, you never know.

Quit all the chips & soda & fast foods and your headaches will vanish.

<-- former Excedrin Migraine daily user. Haven't had an Excedrin or a headache in YEARS, and I drink Whiskey straight from the bottle on occasion. Or you can keep doing what you're doing and enjoy all those good times.

I do drink a lot of soda, that's it though. And Gatorade.

Yes because no one could ever have a migraine for any other reason. Here's a newsflash, I don't eat any junk food, no soda, I cook all my own meals from scratch (very rarely make an exception), and I eat fast foods maybe once every 2 years, and I have had migraines since I was probably 12, I'm now 33. Nothing ever worked for them until I started taking Excedrin.

The biggest cause of my migraines is waking up too early. My natural sleep cycle is about 2-3am to 10-11am. If I wake up at 6am for work/school I am guaranteed to be lethargic and have intense migraines. I guess I must be drinking soda without realizing it.

I am a severemigraine sufferer, I don't eat put but maybe once a year, I don't drink soda, I eat sweets very rarely. Not all migraines are caused by bad eating habits.
For you migraine sufferers, taking aspirin-Excedrin on a daily or even near daily bases is not good. Aspirin thins the blood, along with many other ugly side effects.
If your over using Excedrin you may want to evaluate stress levels,allergies, even if your doing home cooking remember FDA has their paw prints on and in all our store bought foods.
And finally, Excedrin has had mishaps numerous times in the past few decades, again FDA has dirty prints all around our lives

Oh wow that sucks, I don't get migraines though I do eat a lot of junk food and drink coffee, I'm also smoker, occasional drinker. I do however drink lots of fluids, mainly water. However theres never been a study that could confirm a sole cause or even a direct cause for migraines.

It is now March and Excedrine is nowhere to be found on store shelves. There has to be more to this story. Anyone?

Taking too much Excedrin can cause rebound migraines. This I know from personal experience.
