In reply to Evening Primrose Oil WAY BETTER for me than O3's, posted by Marty on October 28, 2007, at 11:44:38
Yeah, Jimmyboy got it right. Good explanation.
I have indeed seen scattered reports at naturopath websites where borage oil or evening primrose oil (both sources of GLA) relieved depression rapidly when all serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine strategies failed.
I took it for a while and didn't notice too much in mood, but I think my dose was too low. One thing I did notice when I stopped taking it (ran out and just didn't bother to get to the store) I had a return of some pain and inflammation that had disappeared on borage oil.
I have taken fish oil a long time, flax oil a medium time, and borage oil a short time. I like flax and borage a lot better than fish oil. It is a more balanced broad spectrum essential fatty acid treatment than fish oil.
