Best meds for cramps?

I'm having really bad cramps right immediately, and I don't want to go out and get some over the counter stuff for them. Midol and Pamprin do zilch for me. So which one seems to work better, Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, something like that? Any suggestions for anything else?

Answers:    I swear by ibuprofen/Advil/Motrin, and on the scarce occasion that it doesn't do the job completely, I wear a Thermacare grill patch for menstrual cramps or at home use a heating pad..
I used to cry surrounded by a fetal position till I could fall asleep, it hurt so bad.

it could be the niggle reliever you use thins your blood a little (aspirin absolutely does, don't steal it for menstrual pain!)
cramps come from the uterus muscles contracting to push out the unused blood.
heat help!
I then learned to sit within a hot bath. one so hot I'd hang my legs and arms out of the tub because they hurt. presently I use a heating pad that heat in the microwave, in a pinch I once used a pot of simply brewed coffee.
also these are the same muscles used in "contractions" when your going to impart birth, and doing those breathing exercises to relax those muscles can also give great relief.

I surmise Advils better than Tylenol or Aleve. I use the the liquigels and they're awesome.

Ibuprofen works best for me. For me Tylenol works best. Advil is good too.
