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.

HTH

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.

Thanks for your help. It does seem to be helping this month so need to get some more asap!!

you need to take it daily

vitamin b12 and calcium and magnesium are known to help too
