LADIES!!! What do you take for monthly cramps??

I really need to know. I have not had to deal with the dreaded monthly cramps because of PCOS. Until now!!! The weight is coming off, my hormones are getting their act together and now I have to deal with cramps...LOL!! I remember being the queen of Ibuprofen, but now that my stomach doesn't do NSAIDS, I don't know what to do. I have tried the Thermacare heat patches, hot baths, Aromatherapy, heating pad, Tylenol (does nothing), Midol, Pamprin. You name it, I think I have tried it. Avoiding Caffiene and Salt as well. So I need to know what others in my situation are doing. My gyn is not helpful (he is being replaced), he wants me on the Depo shot, which I refuse to do. Thanks y'all.
