Question about Evening Primrose Oil

[Listmaker]

Hi

I've been suffering with bad PMT for the last few months and I don't like myself for that one week a month and feel sorry for my lovely dp who is so patient and kind.

Anyway I am trying Evening Primrose Oil and it seems to be helping. I've taken it all month - do I need to do that or just for the bad week?

Thanks in advance!

Similar boat here... I take the 1000mg tabs one a day every day - they definitely help a lot. Think I read that you are supposed to take them daily.

Vitamin B12 is also supposed to help. If it is very severe you could also consider antidepressants/going back on the pill (Yasmin is supposed to be good)/counselling to help with dealing with your emotions at that time of the month. All available via your friendly GP. You aren't alone, I also have it really badly.

you need to take it daily

vitamin b12 and calcium and magnesium are known to help too
