Have You Ever Had A Migraine? Have you ever had a migraine? Well I have and it is not something enjoyable! I used to get them quite often, but now I know a way to get rid of them faster. I take 1 excedrin extra strength tablet when I feel the migraine coming on. The excedrin helps me to get rid of the pain and the headache within 15 minutes of taking it. The excedrin really works for me!
