Lately my wife has been experiencing of depression, lack of energy, muscle cramps, nausea, enlarged and soar breasts (nipples are hot also), headaches, insomnia, vaginal discomfort and sourness with and without physical contact, constipation, and other symptoms, which I cannot as a male, properly describe. Is this accumulation of symptoms normal or should we look in another direction for birth control (besides condoms)? A concerned husband, Kenny...

Hey Kenny keep your head up. I know how bad those mood swings can be, but try to put your self in her shoes. I have some (hopefully) helpful news. Birth control severely depletes the body of essential vitamins most important to be aware of is Vitamin B-6 and B-12. Oral contraceptives have been associated with vitamin B6 depletion and clinical depression. In a small, double-blind study of women with depression taking OCs, vitamin B6 (20 mg BID) improved depression. Half of the women in the study showed laboratory evidence of vitamin B6 deficiency.
I would suggest is what I had to do try a Multi Vitamin with a B vitamin complex, and a vitamin B-6 supplement. DO NOT take one with out taking large amounts of only B6 will deplete your body of b1, b2, b3, b4, b5… etc.
ONLY get your vitamins from a well-known and trusted company. I get mine from www.purecaps.com. You do need to be a health practitioner to order from this company but I only trust them (and maybe Whole Foods) Anyway please see a nutritionist or a naturopath. Typically your reg. doc will not know or care too much about this info so please see a nutritionist. Good Luck!
