A member asked:
Please help. i am addicted to excedrin. i need to see a dr to stop. headaches are bad. im afraid of ulcers, can you die from them?

Excedrin: Ulcers can kill you while properly diagnosed migraines or headaches are not life threatening. Medication overuse is a serious concern and you will most likely need to see a pain specialist to help treat your headaches and get you on a proper treatment regiment which is not toxic to your system..
