Multi-Symptom Acetaminophen Menstrual Pain Reliever - 40ct - up&up™

If you're a woman you'll understand, I used to use these pills religiously when they were in the blue packaging and were a purple pill. They worked wonders, the only period medication that actually helped with my cramps. My cramps are so bad that I usually can't get out of bed for the first two days of may. So to find something like that was a miracle in itself, ever since they switched to the white pills I noticed almost no difference whatsoever in my pain level. Whatever they did when they reformulated these are not the same. They're garbage, placebo pills. So up yours target. Will not be repurchasing

Where’s the caffeine free?!

While they work to relieve my daughter's cramps, she now realized (after not be able to sleep) that they have caffeine. So disappointed because the old ones did not--the reason I bought them. I didn't realize that these had changed or I wouldn't have purchased. She can only take them first thing in the morning.

This gave me weird side effects. I woke up with clogged ears and a massive headache after taking these. Do not recommend will stick to the name brand

These pills used to work wonders for me and now that they’ve changed the formula they don’t do anything but keep me up and make me jittery. Good job ruining a good thing! HIGHLY DON’T RECOMMEND.

The purple pills without caffeine worked really well and could be taken at night. Please bring back the old formula.

Doesn’t work like the old formula. I noticed they changed the bottle but after a night of no sleep I looked more into & it has caffeine now. I have extreme insomnia already and it does nothing for my cramps. I had something that was working and now I’m back to finding a new formula that works. Don’t make this harder on women bring the old formula back!

I would not recommend this if you want a good night sleep . I have literally been up all night and I’m writing this at almost 4 AM. I have even doubled my normal dose of melatonin and nothing .

Adding the caffeine has ruined these for me! Please bring back the old ones!!

I am very disappointed that Target discontinued the old ones that were purple! Those worked so well and were a more affordable price! I don’t like caffeine and my body doesn’t handle it well, but I was in so much pain that I had to get some medicine. I took it, and couldn't sleep all night! My body was very shaky and I was feeling anxious, and now I will be so tired at work since I didn’t sleep!

They changed their formula and added caffeine. Now every time I take these I have horrible insomnia. It took me a few cycles to realize what was keeping me up all night, and then I realized it’s these pills. I am going to have to switch to the name brand because this is awful.

I don't know what i'd do without it. This medicine eliminate all discomfort from my periods. The only problem is that when it's not working, you WILL know. I find it only lasts around 6-7 hours and once that period ends, you will feel it. So what I do is set a timer on my phone or watch and when the time comes near, take a second dose (and never exceeding the maximum doses the box says you shouldnt exceed). If I have pain at night, the caffeine is a problem so I wish Up&Up offered a caffeine free variety for night use. One might say "just take regular tylenol acetaminophen" but I really need the antihistamine aspect too lol. I thought it was interesting the way there was a cotton ball inside the container when first opening it. Apparently this is to reduce the medicine from shaking around during storage and transit.

return to the old formula!! purple pills helped me sleep without pain!

Works well, and the price-point is great. I didn’t love the drowsiness, it was a bit intense for me. I’ll switch to taking these at night.

Please bring back the purple pills/the old formula! 💜 These pills do not help!

PLEASE bring back the caffeine-free version. This used to be my go-to. I normally do OK with caffeine during the day, but something about the caffeine added to menstrual relief products (the amount, I suppose) makes me too shaky. Now I have to go back to buying the brand name.

I'm not sure how well this worked for my other symptoms because my focus was on my heartrate and shakiness. There is too much caffeine in these pills. I've never had such a reaction to menstrual relief medication. I will definitely be throwing these out, never buying them again and ensuring I look for "Caffeine free" next time.

Can’t figure out why they would change the formula. Just used the last of my old bottle without caffeine and went to order a new bottle when I find out they discontinued the type without caffeine. Will not be purchasing again - read the reviews and bring back the old formula, Target!

Caffeine is in enough other pain relievers. This is now useless and doesn't work

I noticed they changed the bottle and upon reading the comments, I realized they changed the formula too. I noticed a change when taking it, I would get acid and the old bottle never gave me that. Thankfully I still had a bottle of the old formula here. I never noticed there was caffeine in it either which would make sense why my hands were so shaky. I much prefer the old formula rather than this one. I don’t like the acid it gives me or the hand shakiness.
