Oh, yes - and the Evening Primrose Oil actually helped with this, much to my surprise and relief. I take a relatively high dosage of 1300mg per day, and I mostly notice it when I've been bad about taking it. I start to get irritable at little things, then everything starts to bother me. Then I realize that I haven't been taking the EPR and give myself a big old dope slap to the forehead. Within a couple of days of resuming it, I'm back to relative calm. My GYN even prescribes it to her patients, along with calcium/magnesium, carbohydrate loading, and exercise, for treating perimenopause. It really does help.CS
