Pamprin/Midol Alternatives???

I really relied on pamprin/midol to help relieve my pms symptoms. Now that we can't take them what are you taking????? The cramps, back pain, and bloating are so bad!!! Any suggestions??? Mandy

Hi Mandy! I sure wish I knew of something to take to help. I get cramps really bad ever since surgery and Tylenol just doesn't cut it! I got a heating pad though and it really helps to put it on my stomach when I'm all cramped up. I hope you find something to help you! Deanna

i'm mortified to admit this but i take hydrocodone at night to get some relief and the second it wears off i'm freakin' up like a stone, it's pathetic! I only use it for one or two nights but i have to get some relief. Hugs, ANDI

TRAMADOL!!! It's a wonderful little perscription that my pcp told me when I told him the only thing that worked for general pain anymore were narcotics. It works like a narcotic, but isn't addictive like one. Rachael

Hi Mandy - Are we all having our period this week??? I've been taking Tramadol (Ultram), and its been very helpful. You need a prescription for it though. Take care, HEather

Extra Strength Tylenol and Chamomile

Thanks for the tips. I'll definately checkin into the one you mentioned!

Mandy, So sorry so late!!!I don't really know what you can take, but at Wal-Mart the other day I saw those therma things that people heat up and use for low back pain/shoulder pain etc.. but the now have them for menstral pain You just heat it up & slide in the edge of your undies!!You might get some relief from those & it can be taken with you anywhere & no one would know you had it on!!!Hope you are feeling better soon!!!~Missy~

Thanks Missy! I'm going to W/M tomorrow for groceries will definately check into it.
