tinksplace - Sat Oct 01, 2005 7:46 pm

could anybody recoomend a good painkiller for period cramps. ive tried numerous ones and they don't seem to really ease the pain. ive tried midol, tynnenol. advil, and none of it seem to help. :roll: :roll: thanks for any help.

Birth control pills are sometimes used to regulate periods and to help alleviate menstrual cramping. If this is not an option for you, speak to your physician about other prescription-strength possibilities.

I have had problems with major pain with my periods and I used to get lortabs for it .don't do it I got very hooked to them over the years and ended up in rehab to detox for 3 days and I never went back ,the pain of detoxing lasted a good two months and the funny thing is they never took the pain away completely. Good news though I found that aleive works wonders it took my cramps from doubled over to completely to gone. I wish I would have realized this from the beginning.
I have tried advil, pamprin, tylenol, you name it. and yes birth control pills do help but I am a smoker and scared to take it.
I hope this helps.
