    Works great

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The original excedrin has always helped my headaches, so I was excited to try Excedrin PM. You know when you’re trying to fall asleep, but your head just hurts too much? The amazing part of Excedrin pm is having it work on your headache and also being able to fall asleep. I had no grogginess the next day.

    Eases the headaches, calms the tension

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excedrin is the GOAT in our household. My husband and I both get headaches regularly and between managing life and little ones, mine are most often tension headaches. Excedrin Tenaion Headache swoops in and saves me from a day (or night) of being downright miserable. Works super fast and takes care of your headache and eases that tension that comes with it. Buy it!

    Can't leave the house without it

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, there isn't a better medication that takes my headache away like this one. I've tried just about each and every one that is available over the counter. I always like to have some on me and I leave a small pack everywhere I go so the little packs work perfectly for me. The bottle is very easy to open and the instructions are very clear. I can't go anywhere without it.

    Nighttime Hero

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are few things that drive me more crazy than having a long day, excited to get in bed to sleep and as soon as your head hits the pillow you’re wide awake with a pounding headache. You lay there in agony questioning all your life choices. Then comes Excedrin PM Headache to the rescue. I’ve always loved Excedrin products and this one is one of my favorites. It works quickly to sooth my headache and help me drift off to sleep.

    Helps Work headaches

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is super helpful for me to have on hand especially during a long work day when I tend to get a headache. They are an easy size to consume, and the added caffeine makes these helpful to keep going during the day.

    Relieves headache quickly, cleanly and with a very long-lasting effect.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I tried this product I was surprised, the consistency of its results is excellent. The dosage of two tablets is perfect to stop the headache quickly. It leaves no feeling of stomach heaviness or traces of bitter taste. In addition, the duration of its effect is prolonged, which allows me to continue with my day without relapses.

    Best headache relief for good nights sleep

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excedrin PM has been a great option when I have a tension headache at the end of the day. It helps ease the headache pain while also relaxing me enough to get a good nights sleep. I like that I wake up feeling rested and my headache is completely gone. It has become one of my go to medication‘s for nighttime headache relief.

    Not my cup of tea

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was too strong for me. For some reason most Excedrin products are. It would be nice if this product was not extra strength. Maybe I’m alt or sensitive to one of the ingredients in this product.
