	Bendectin was taken of the market because of the high
	rate of birth defects associated with its use
	(it was almost as bad as thalimide (sp?)). 

	As for taking B-6, BEWARE. This particular vitamin is
	 currently under study. It seems that large doses may
	be responsible for some nerve damage in some cases that
	have come to light recently. This is why it is on the
	list of vitamins whose daily recomended dosage is 
	slated to be REDUCED - not elevated.

	I'm sorry that this info isn't too helpful on
	helping your wife. I've not heard of any substitutes.
	I hope she feels better soon.

	Hang-in there. Best wishes,
