Is it normal to be cramping so much on every period that i have to take 2, 600 mg of ibuprofen just to make my pain bearable?

See your doctor: Cramping with menses known as "dysmenorrhea" is quite common and should be discussed with your physician, as there are solutions depending on what he finds.
