Has anyone else taken evening primrose oil and gone mad?

I tried EPO a decade ago to try to help with bad mood swings during PMT and it sent me completely bonkers - I was in a houseshare at the time and was just filled with RAGE towards all my housemates and just swung from wanting to bludgeon them all to death and then top myself to spinning down into the pits of misery. All stopped within a day of me stopping the EPO.

I was in a fairly unhappy place at the time, stressed, broke and in a bad relationship - funnily enough I didn't suffer from PMT so badly once we split up Hmm Now thinking of trying it again to help counter sore nips/nursing aversion after some help from Dr Google Wink but just wondering whether anyone else has ever experienced anything like this?

nope, I've been taking it for a short while to counteract the effects of Tamoxifen but seem to be quite sane ! maybe I need a higher dose ?!

I took it for years for PMT and it didn't have any effect on me either good or bad.
