Get OFF it asap.
She'll need a bone density check as after five years it could seriously screw up her bone health. (told this by the doctor when I went in to get my last shot of depo).
The link below has reviews of different contraceptives.
I was on it for four years and it was horrible. I am on Kariva now and have had no problems healthwise with this pill.

she shouldn't be on depo for that long!
maybe print off some material about alternate methods - the ring, an iud, etc.
tell her you read somewhere that women shouldn't be on depo for 5 years and you're concerned. odds are, so is she!
