Pros: Does what it say it does.
Cons: Also does what it says it does regarding side effects. Makes you drowsy.

Very effective I think..... but also makes you VERY DROWSY ALTHOUGH I'm SENSITIVE to MEDICATION. I often experience side effects. Very useful for getting rid of cramps...... and I've had cramps (according to my gynocologist) that resemble labor pains...... safe for those allergic to (aspirin) as I am...... as I said I am sensitive to most medicines. :)

Pros: takes the cramps away...eventually
Cons: heart raced, sleeplessness

Lately Alleve hasn't been working for me -- it was always my favorite- so I tried Midol. I did not like the feeling at all! I felt very shaky from it and like my heart was racing. I definitely knew I was on some sort of drug. The other pills never make me feel like that. I probably won't take it again but if I do I'll only take one gelcap at a time - not two like they recommend.
