Alternative to Evening Primrose oil..?

[fairy!]

I've recently started taking evening primrose oil to see if helps my mood swings & PMT. Problem is, it's given me a dodgy tummy, which after googling, I've discovered can be a side effect.

Can anyone suggest an alternative?

agnus castus or chaste tree berry

Starflower (Borage) oil maybe? It has a higher concentration of GLA (gamma linolenic acid - an omega-6 fatty acid) in it than Evening Primrose oil. It is the GLA which provides the therapeutic effect for hormonal probs such as PMT.

However, I should also mention that it shouldn't be used if taking any anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin or warfarin, if pregnant, breast feeding or suffering epilepsy.
