Because of terrible menstrual cramps my doc told me to take 800mg before the pain even began. So for 12 years I have taken thousands of mg everytime I got my period. Now, I have developed a sensitivity to it. Even when taken with food this medication causes severe stomach pain. I do not drink alcohol and I do not smoke cigarettes.
