Primrose Oil for Depression
I'd just like to share my experiences here and maybe I can help a person or 2.
I've tried prescription anti-depressants years ago...and they barely did anything. If anything it was worse..because #1 they'd take about a week to start working.. and during that week, I personally felt worse / more ragey than before...but eventually it helped some. #2 , I had enormous food cravings. #3 very weird, electric like feeling in my head when trying to withdraw off the stuff. That alone was enough for me to never try the stuff again.
But time and time again, whenever I ever have occasional bouts of depression...and even severe depression. Primrose Oil has worked like a godsend. I even told my sister to try it , and she couldn't believe it either.
Whenever i'm very irritable , angry , depressed , anxious.. I take a 1000 MG's of Primrose Oil a day...and ALL OF THAT goes away. I feel soooo calm and relaxed everyday after. It only takes a day or 2 to start working. and by the 3rd day, you'll definately notice it.
Amazing natural drug this is. I'm 35 now and first tried it when I was like 22.
I dont know WHY this drug doesn't get more national attention ? I've tried St. John Wort numerous times... everybody says thats suppose to be the #1 natural / herbal pill for depression. But its NEVER worked for me.
Evening Primrose Oil works in an amazing fashion for me. EVERY single time. I had a really bad bout last week... starting taking Primrose Oil, and I completely changed around for the better almost instantly
Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this. Even 500 MG's a day is nice too. But 1000 MG's a day, you'll definately notice it.
I'm a guy too.... so I remember reading online that this is mostly for women...to help with their PMS symptoms or whatever. But it is for soo much more.
The anti-depressing effects are amazing and soo smooth. No side effects at all.
thank god for primrose oil

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experiences. I will be picking up some tomorrow and giving it a go.
Just read back through your posts... only just found them (march 2013) .... while researching primrose oil.
Found it all very interesting. Thanks.
Starting it today for anxiety & psoriasis. I hope it works for me too. 8-)

I made this thread 2 1/2 years ago and kinda forgot about.
Glad it's helped so many. I still use it today and still works like it did several years ago. I sometimes go up to 3000 MG's a day on rough days.
Charlie, I really haven't researched up on exactly how it works...but some interesting info on wiki when you google primrose oil wiki.
hope that helps.

I am just trying it will let you know
Just started taking primrose oil for thyroid issues and noticed feeling great on it. Was doing research online about its correlation to depression and found your post. You are 100% correct! It works wonders! I'm on 1300 mg a day. Who knew? Was taking it for something unrelated and it's working for depression as well. Thanks for your post.
Does anybody know how it actually works? Scientifically? I'm so depressed, Iv just had the copper coil IUD taken out as I'm convinced after research it has been copper toxicity causing all my problems. Doctors just fob Me off with more pills & look at Me like I'm crazy. Iv always suffered depression BUT this time I'm unnervingly uptight, anxious, mind racing... Insomnia! Making it very difficult for Me to look after my 3 year old son. Help??
Hi John
Thanks a lot John for your post ! This is a ray of hope for me !
It's amazing how similar experience i have with that of yours. I do have a skin condition and I was adviced to take Evening Primrose Oil. I too noticed good effect on mood of EPO. I found that generally it works on skin when taken after food in night and works for mood when taken on empty stomack. I do believe that the skin condition and mood disorders could be because of same reason.
I also have bit of depression/anger, feeling of being unsecured. I rarely feel relaxed. and EPO helped in this when i was taking it early morning on empty stomach. I had do stop taking the same due to some side effects a) It made me so much hungry. I had to eat so much when on EPO. b) it caused mouth ulcers (after around 8 days). So i had to stop it in between. What is your experience on this one ? Do you take it before or after food ? If on empty stomach then after how much time you eat ?
Thanks John again and waiting to hear from you.
Cheers
