Possible Interactions with
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)
Overview
If you are taking psychotherapeutic medications to treat schizophrenia, talk
with your health care provider before taking evening primrose oil which contains
gamma-linolenic acid. It can interact with these medications and increase the
risk of seizures. For the same reason, you should avoid taking this herb with
antidepressant medications (medicines to treat depression), particularly
tricyclic antidepressants, and anticonvulsant medications that are used to treat
seizure disorders.
