No, you can't give her any medication. The best you can do is make her feel comfortable by ensuring she has everything she needs available like food, water, toys, a litter box and if necessary a scratching post. I would recommend making an appointment to get her spayed as soon as she is done with this cycle. If you don't it may only get worse. My cat went into heat the first time and it lasted a week. Two weeks later she went into heat again and it lasted for about 10 days. When she finished she went back into heat a week later and it lasted for two weeks. Since she wasn't getting pregnant her heat cycles came with more frequency, and then she began to pee on things.
For the sake of your sanity and the health of your cat, just get her spayed.

Never give medication intended for humans to animals without advice from a veterinarian. The best way to keep a cat from annoying you when she goes into heat is to have her spayed (although a veterinarian cannot do this now; they can do so as soon as your cat finishes a cycle). Some stress-relief products such as "Rescue Remedy" which are geared toward pets might help to soothe her, or contact you veterinarian to schedule a spay and find out if there is anything that might assist in the mean time.

NO! It will kill her. There is no over the counter pain med you can give a cat that will not harm them permanently. You'll just have to save up the cash and get her fixed.

No. Call your vet and schedule her spay so that you do not ever have to worry about her "driving you crazy" when she's in heat again.

No - not unless you want her dead. Call your vet and get her spayed by end of the month - problem solved.

don't give her anything without talking to the vet first. could be dangerous. what is safe for us isn't always safe for them. and those are painkillers and she's not even in pain, so it won't help.
get her fixed.

Take her in for a spay.
IB is toxic to cats... as is acetaminophen and loads of other human meds.
