i get cramps really bad and i've looked everywhere for relief and then i found this! Not only does it get rid of my cramps, and bloating, it actually makes my flow extremely light, and i'm reading other reviews and nobody has said that before, and my friend takes them to and it makes her flow like nothing also. I would reccomend this!

I have taken Pamprin and Midol, but nothing takes my cramps completely away like Excedrin menstrual. It lasts for as long as it says it does. My cramps start coming back and then i see that it is also time to take more pills. Thanks for making it a much happy period. Oh and i recommend it to all my friends.

I love excedrin menstral complete. That is the only thing that has worked for me while i was going through that time of the month. I would be able to take that and all i needed was 1. I would not have any pain for the remainder of the day it also gave me energy to cont with whatever i was doing. Now that i am unable to find it i now take 3 aleves or 3 midol and 1 pamprin.... Please tell me what i have to do to get these back on the shelf? I have not had any side effects execpt for being able to work and not having to call out of work from been and pain and having energy to do everything i needed to do with a smile on my face.

I was very light headed, dizzy, unfocused shortly after taking the drug. It suppressed my appetite, until I felt I'll from not eating. I ate and minutes later I had horrible diarrhea and vomiting. Non of these symptoms have happen from my period, so I know it was the medicine.

This drug is a lifesaver! My cramps have always been seriously awful, but this relieves them within 15 minutes. I read the other reviews stating that people felt dizzy or developed a fever. The drug has caffeine in it which will cause that reaction if it is taken on an empty stomach (same reaction as drinking a large caffeinated beverage on an empty stomach). I have used other pain relievers for menstrual cramps, but this drug is by far the best.

I was using the Excedrin for menstrual when I have period cramps. I usually taken one capsule cuz I know how strong it is and its very effective.Within less than 30 mins, cramping was gone or headache due to menstrual period.. I dont know if this one was pull out from the store but I cannot find it anymore.

I took two gelcaps, the recommended dosage and began vomitting blood and having black tarry diarreah. This lasted for 12 hours and had to be rushed to the e.r. for a shot to cease the vomitting/nausea. Two days later I am still jaundice, weak, and light-headed. I will never take this again and recommend no one else take it. I hope theres a class-action suit agains this drug.

This is the ABSOLUTE best treatment for cramps. I could not survive without it. Years of suffering, this is my only relief.

They are easy to swallow, but they don't do anything. I was wondering if they just took the general Excedrin and slapped it in a pink box... that's what they did. It doesn't even address cramp relief on the description, so I feel the name is rather misleading. Also.. there's caffeine in it, which makes cramps worse. Like a lot of the other chick painkillers, it's just a dressed up Tylenol, and it didn't help even with my "mild" cramps.

I took 2 pills for a headache and started feeling light headed, dizzy and my stomach felt very sick. I'm not sure what is worse, my headache or the side effects.

I took this for menstrual cramps, but after the second pill, I felt terrible. My left side of my face went kinda numb and tingly. My left eye started twitching, I was light headed and dizzy. I felt like I was going to have a stroke. This happened about 2 months agao and ever since my left eye still twitches every day all day. I strongly recommend NO one tries this.

Took this because I had way bad cramps, it got rid of them. Eventually... But after I took another 2 pills, as recommended, after 4 to 6 hours, I got way dizzy at a bad time. I don't really recommend this and am probably not gonna use it again.

I had a rather severe reaction to this medication - rapid heartbeat, nausea and overall feeling of shakiness. I would never use it again.
