How does a migraine interfere with daily activities?
Migraines are a complex neurological disorder with many different facets and symptoms. How it will impact an individual depends upon the type of migraine they are having and the severity of the symptoms.
The most well known symptom of migraine is the head pain. For some people, this pain is quite severe and leaves them unable to function.
Many migraineurs become sensitive to light and sound. Even being exposed to dim light can increase their pain levels. So, this interferes with daily activities as well, because during the attack the sufferer may not be able to tolerate daylight, indoor lighting (especially fluorescent lighting), or even the glow of a computer screen.
Nausea and vomiting can be one of the most debilitating symptoms during a migraine, some people spending days not only in severe pain, but unable to stray more than several feet from the toilet. Nausea and vomiting can mean severe dehydration in some cases, as well as being unable to keep down medications which might normally help.
The above are just the main symptoms associated with migraines. Other symptoms which may impact daily activities are [not all migraineurs experience all this symptoms]:
Temporary Visual disturbance (from partial impairment to significant loss of vision)
Dizziness
Difficulty concentrating
Difficulty speaking
Numbness

Can I take excedrin migraine with extra strength neocitran?
Neocitran Extra Strength contains 650mg of acetaminophen. Per tablet, Excedrin Migraine contains 250 mg per tablet.
The FDA is now recommending a limit for acetaminophen of 600mg per dose (the max used to be 1000mg per dose), due to the potential for liver damage. 4000mg is the limit for 24 hours, but people who are consistently taking acetaminophen can begin to experience liver damage at 3000mg.
In short, you should not take them together. But if you did take one tablet with the Neocitran, it probably won't hurt you if this is only for the short term.
