Does midol really work?
does midol do anything special that advil doesnt?? just wondering.
Answers: NO, midol has never help me at all. Advil is the only piece that has ever helped my cramps. Just stick next to what you've been using, and you'll be fine..
My periods would if truth be told leave me bed-ridden on the first day (the cramps would stop after morning 1) .. I finally buckled down and bought a packet of Midol after 9 years of pain, and was competent to sit up and concentrate on small tasks throughout the day. I still had dull pain, but I wasnt grumpy, bloated, or anything like that. Unfortunately, Midol is a bit on the expensive side considering there are single 6 doses. Thankfully for me, I only had discomfort on the first day, and would only bring 1 set of pills per month to makethem last.
The only item I didnt like about Midol though be it seemed to make my chest be aware of funny, like I had a fluttery sensation where on earth my heart is. I suppose its just a slight OD on the caffeine! I dont suggest taking it with soda..
Midol be specifically made for menstruation symptoms (headaches, cramps, etc) compared to Advil/Tylenol that are just general twinge relievers. I don't use Midol since I'm on birth control instead, but I too have heard from deeply of people that Midol helps. Like adjectives medications, it may not work for everyone, but you'll never know until you give it a try. What own you got to lose? :P Midol has caffeine (for headache and tiredness) and a diuretic (for bloating). If Tylenol or Advil is working for you, I wouldn't switch..
Yes! Midol Works!
Pro: Works Wonders!
Con: Makes me sleepy give or take a few an hour or so after I take it.
