    There is no drug in the world that you can take as much as you want. Excedrin Migraine contains Tylenol, aspirin, and caffeine. Of course you can't sleep and are dizzy! Your stomach hurts because aspirin burns the stomach. Tylenol in excess affects the liver and kidneys.
    Clearly you need help for your headaches, so please see a regular clinic for proper treatment. If you already know that you have migraines, you can get prescription drugs for that specifically. Excedrin Migraine is just a start to see if it helps before needing more.
    If you overdosed for no reason other than depression, then please see a therapist.
