If you don't want to take good ol' midol or pamprin, try exercising. I've found that if I exercise even the smallest bit each night that I'm on my period, it seems to help. (It may just be a placebo type of effect because you're focusing on something else- but hey, it still works for me =)

I heard my friends said that they took primrose oil one tablet a day and it helped them from getting cramp. I have never tried it myself because I went to see the chinese doctor and took chinese herb instead. It works for me, don't have to suffer again.

I take Black Cohosh, its a herbal extract in liquid form which really helps with periods pains. You have to take it for awhile,like a teaspoon everyday I think it is, but it really does help.When your period comes around it doesn't hurt half as much! Thats a kind of long term option though, in the short term pain killers are the only thing I can think of. A good combination is pain killers and a hot water bottle,but if you're in college during the day you couldn't really do that! If your pains are really bad then just take the strongest pain killer you can get without prescription, Solpadene is a godsend!
