I take Evening Primrose Oil, a Multivitamin, Flax Seeds in Oatmeal and Borage Oil. It all helps keep the anxiety and cramps at a more tolerable level. Myrrh in capsules is good as well to take a few weeks before you start, and Daily afterwards. Ask your Dr or Pharmacist if you can take this with yore meds though just to make sure it is safe. I have Never had any problems taking any of these with meds myself. Take care I hope things get better for you soon. Birth control does help many people, but since I had my tubes tied years ago I just went the herbal way for menstrual problems, so I am not aware of all the possiblities available at this time regarding Birth control options.
