    Midol helped me some. It didn't get rid of all the pain, but it would help to dull it enough to allow me to do what I needed to as far as school and work. I have found that a lifestyle change helped for me. I cut my caffeine intake down to almost nothing. I don't eat a lot of salt. I try to drink more water and exercise regularly. These things have helped my stomach and back cramps during PMS and my period. I wish you luck. It is some of the worst pain I've ever experienced. (& I've had a kid!)

    I have found that taking one 500mg tylenol and 2 advil help a great deal. It also helps if you start taking them a few days before your period so it doesn't get a chance to become too horrible. One last thing that ALWAYS helps me, If I can resist, is lay off sugar the week before and during. I posted the links for both products so you can look into them. good luck with your search!

    Ibuprofen. It's an anti-inflammatory. Gets rid of cramps and pain. You can even get a slight fever with your period and it takes care of that, too.

    It's not addictive and can be purchased most anywhere----

    LEGALLY.

    The best OTC medications are Naproxen and Ibuprofen. You should start taking them as a few days before the pain normally starts. Tylenol and aspirin do not work.

    percocet your doctor can give you an epidural pump in your back to take all the pain away.

    but my gyn gives me percocet and ib 800 i have endometriosis and a blood disorder that causes me to bleed really heavy and when im on my cycle it is really heavy so i know.

    oh but you are not allowed to share any kind of medications thats a federal offense i never even gave my sister an ib 800 when she gets cramps. sorry i just read that part.

    be careful the dea regulates the selling of controlled substances online
