Have suffered with tension and migraine headaches for over 40 years. Esgic Plus is the only med I have found to work! Make sure to take it with food or stomach ache make occur.

This medication has no effect as far as relieving any migraines. However if I double the dose it puts me to sleep...and when I'm asleep I don't feel the pain. So in that respect, it's useful. But I don't plan to continue taking it just for the side-effect of sleep.

I started taking this medicine in 1992 after a serious car accident, I had neck/facial/back injuries and chronic migraines since then. This medicine helps the pain, gives me a slight energy boost and helps me to be functional. Wish it was easier to take long term. Doctors can't prescribe any barbiturates for regular daily use.

These medication works for me. Does work better if taken at onset. I take 2 when migraine sets in. If I wait to take it then I sometimes have to take 2 more or Excedrin migraine 4 or so hours later. However, for me if I don't tAke a pain reliever right away I I am screwed.

It is the ONLY medicine that actually works on my headaches and does not hurt my stomach. If I take this at bedtime, I sleep well and do not wake up with a headache. It has been a lifesaver for me! I have used this for years.

The brand esgic plus has been effective for me for a number of years. The generic less effective, did not take the edge off of the headache. Recently, the brand has not taken the edge off as well and has made me nauseated. I am wondering if the manufacture has been offshored but cannot find a place on the manufacturer's (Forest Pharmaceuticals) website to inquire or give feedback. It is really frustrating as this has been the only truly medication that has ever really been dependable in working.Read More Read Less

This medication works for me and I have been using it on a regular basis for 20+ years now.I do however experience irritability very bad at times and sometimes itching? Am I starting to get an allergic reaction after all these years?
