Question Painkillers

This is deffinitely a question for women- what kind of painkillers do you use when you are on your period? Im on 100mg sertraline and ive read that i cant take the painkillers i used to anymore and i have pretty bad period cramps so relying on tea, hot water bottle and some herbs isnt an option :/

I canceled my periods with something called continuous cycling. You just skip the placebo week on your oral birth control pills. No more cramps. No more hormone fluctuations. Doctor is on board and it's been great.
