Evening primrose

has anyone taken the evening primrose supplement and if so did you have any side effects 

Just curious....what is evening primrose supposed to be good for?  

Its a very calorie- effective oil substitute - helps regenerate cells and reduces your craving forty foods and salt .  Its also great for the brain and skin.  Flaxseed oil is a comparable substitute .

From the Mayo Clinic:

Evening primrose oil may also cause abdominal pain, acidity, acne, altered immune system function, anxiety, belching, bloating, cellulitis (skin infection), cervix ripening, colic, constipation, cough, cramping, crying, decreased or increased duration of childbirth, depression, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, dryness of mucous membranes, eczema, fullness, gas, gastrointestinal adverse effects, headache, heartburn, increased bleeding time or decreased platelet aggregation, increased risk of inflammation, indigestion, irregular menstruation, irritability, itchy and fatty skin, loose stools, musculoskeletal adverse effects, nausea, nervous system adverse effects, pneumonia, reproductive system adverse effects, respiratory system adverse effects, seizures or lowered seizure threshold, short temper, skin lesions in newborns, skin rash, slower dilation during childbirth, stomachache, tension, vivid dreams, vomiting, weight gain, or worsening mania.

Sorry--this is one natural herb I wouldn't take a chance on.... everyone is different. You may not have any reaction, but considering everything you did to get your surgery, you don't want to damage what you worked so hard to get.

Sounds just like every other drug and supplement on the market then
