Tranexamic Acid?

So I’ve always found my period is too heavy for tampons, and I’m changing super-overnight pads every 2/3 hours or so (I wear them during the day as well.) Along with how heavy it is, the pain is so extreme that I’m prescribed oxycodone for when I begin getting pain every month, I’m talking full abdominal cramps, full back cramping and thighs become too painful and weak to walk.

My doctor is considering prescribing Tranexamic Acid for my next period and I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this medication? I haven’t read much on it, but it seems like a pretty extreme thing to try.
