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

Yuk, and Paxiled,
Brain zaps? I feel I have these too. I have never heard anyone say they knew what I was talking about. I've even talked to Doctors about this and they look at me strange, I stop telling people about this.
What are brain zaps with yall ? I think my husband thinks I'm a bit strange when I say my brain is doing that zzzzzzzzzzzpppp agin. I hear a sound and feel like a electric current zapping me for a second. Sometimes I have one big one or several small ones. I notice them mostly when I'm sick, or very tired.
Please tell me what your zaps are like.

Fish oil is said to help a lot with those brain zaps and the like. Good luck to you having a quick and easy time of it.
3 days with the 1000 mgs of Primrose and doubling up on the fish oil to 2000 mgs. It may be a coincidence but I am feeling better with the lexapro withdraw. Brain zaps are minimal. The shakiness is better as well. Most important, the rage has calmed down. I can't believe how irritated and annoyed I get with people for the smallest things. Oh, I'm also sleeping great!
My husband is taking is also for his psoriasis (wish they had spell check on this site ;)). It could take as long as 60 days to see any results on him.

Well today, Ear ache is full form. I'm in pain from it.
So thats all I feel today. Went to Doctor yesterday about my ear infection so I get to feeling better.
About the weather, I love it, this is my favorite time of year from Sept- April. We have only had snow a couple of times . I'm in mid-south area, so it doesn't get too bad.
I got these tremors about 2 months before I was put on Prozac. I know I have thyroid problems and I hope they will go away when I get that leveled. If not they say its my nerves, I don't think so, but I've been doing alot of test to see what is up.
I kind-of shake like someone coming off of alcohol , but I don't drink, or do drugs, eat very healthy, careful what I put in my body.
I had so tough things that I dealt with in past and never had the tremors.
I hope to slowly get off prozac, soon. The past two weeks I'm down to every other day.
I'm under Doc, care everyone.
I'm just so happy that I'm doing better,
Thank yall all for wrighting and letting me know that shopping is hard for yall, wow
I just don't understand why this is like this. What goes on in our minds that does this to us. I guess afraid so one is going to see we are having a hard time,
Just think they may also being feeling that way too.
Hope all went well Jade, going to the store , oh how I know.
Thank you all for sharing, it made my day knowing I'm not alone in many of the struggles that I face, it's nice to talk with people that really understand , and feel strange about things
others think are no big deal. and say things like.....just get over it, you make it a big deal.
We know how big it is, we just approch it different for some reason.
I really hope to hear good things from all that are trying this, but if you don't feel the working of it, let others know so they don't feel like whats wrong with me.
If we all try to work together we can help one another

I still haven't made it to the market because I'm like mamiaelectro when it comes to the store, lol, but I have an appt tomorrow so Must leave the house and will pick up the Primrose tomorrow.
Thanks john, for all your input. The Winter gets me too. Seems like a switch goes off in me starting in Nov when the days get shorter. I'm feeling better depression wise since the days are getting longer now, but I'm excited to read it's helped with your anxiety and anger because those are my main issues. I've already recommended the Primrose to a friend who's depressed.
Do you love these forums or what! I've been here for 2 1/2 yrs and learning new ways to cope from others input has really changed my life for the better!

Sarah, it seems like its everybody lately.. The late winter ALWAYS does this to people.. Even in years past its the same exact thing for me in February and March... Its like we've seen enough of the cold winter already....and the depressing politics in the government...that seems to be on TV every 2 seconds.. We just want the warm / hot climate again & a lot of sun !
Hang in there...the Winter's almost over. In the meantime, Primrose will take care of us . hehe
We should really try to spread the word around about this, if it works for you. I've never heard anything bad about the supplement...and most people over the years have only talked about its effect on Skin & PMS...nothing about Depression .
Heck it even seems to help my anxiety, and lower my anger levels as well. Its so strange but awesome the way it works.
