Lay on your side with your legs curled, and put a small pillow against your stomach for pressure. A nice hot bath helps also.

If you think this sounds hippie-dippy, give it a shot...
Cramp Bark Tea (usually mixed with raspberry leaf and nettles). It's been used by women for centuries for a reason--it works. There are lots of kinds available at any big healthy-ish store (New Seasons, Whole Foods, neighborhood food co-ops, etc). I like "female toner" made by Nature's Gate. You might think $5 is expensive for a box of tea, but that's way less than the pill. Also, I personally used to get Terrible cramps when I used tampons on my heaviest day, and if I drink coffee the day before I start. Drinking a lot of water throughout the month makes a HUGE difference for me.

a hot bath or a ( hot) water bottle is supposed to help.
