I was a daily excedrin taker for YEARS, and I took it first thing in the a.m. after I woke up. Some days I was taking 3-4 a day for rebound headaches. I knew for a long time this was bad for my body and don't want to think about the damage to my liver, but I have been able to mostly stop. It was hard at first, but in the morning now I feel like I need something with caffiene in it so I drink a small glass of iced tea, which has less than coffee. If you get a headache try to wean yourself off by taking plain asprin, and having some caffiene. That was how I gradually weaned myself off. I still get occasional headaches and Excedrin seems to be the only thing that works, but I am not taking it on a daily basis and going through bottles like I once was before and that feels good. You will feel so great when you go weeks without taking it!!
