Of course it looked amazing seeing as it said it could cure pretty much every problem you had for a few hours and make you feel slightly human during your time of the month. After taking the recommended dose of two pills, within half an hour I felt normal. Through the rest of the day I went on as normal, and took some again later that night before work. So eight hours after the first time.

Needless to say I have not slept since. This all just occured yesterday. I wasn’t tired at all. Just wide awake and I didn’t know why. Apparently, the two pills combined have 120mg of caffeine in them which is equivalent to one cup of coffee. Plus having extra soda or sugar makes it worse.

The next morning, after spending hours awake, I took my ADD medication, Vivance, and I couldn’t stop moving. I felt anxious, I couldn’t sit down for more than five minutes, and I felt like I could run without ever stopping. My heart wasn’t pulsing, but I know something was wrong. If my feet weren’t shaking then my hands were. It’s the exact same effect as someone who was on speed would have.

So I’m not saying that all of midol’s products are bad, but just beaware that if you are on any other medications that have any type of active acid in them, ask your doctor before you take Midol. Or try the caffeine free version. Either way, it gets rid of hte pain, but the side effects are much worse.
