Is Midol supposed to make you feel weak and tired all the time? I only took one which is not really normal for me. I usually take a half of one. I'm 19 and I don't think this is supposed to happen. Is the drug inside Midol too strong for me or what? Can someone please help????

Thanks y'all for answering. I didn't know what category to put it under. My head's a little fuzzy and I can't concentrate or think. I couldn't think of what my favorite food was until an hour later after I had been sitting there trying to think...

I took Midol once and my eyes wouldn't stop jumping all around. I had to cancel on a friend because I couldn't look her in the face for more than 1/100th of a second at a time. Midol contains caffiene, but I don't know why that would make you feel tired. Try taking ibuprofin instead, it should help well enough.
P.S. - I don't think you categorized your question correctly, Mental Health?

Look at the ingredients on the bottle. I would suggest Motrin or Aleve instead of Midol. If you are feeling weak, I would ask your doctor about your iron level.

No Midol shouldn't make you tired. It has caffeine in it to help wake you up because you period can make you tired. Are you sure that your period isn't draining you and not the Midol?

HELLO,
THIS MAY BE A SIDE EFFECT OF ONE OF THE INGREDIENTS, PYRILAMINE MALATE. IT WOULD NOT BE THE ACETAMINOPHEN OR CAFFEINE. ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
