> a couple of weeks ago i started taking flaxseed oil as a supplement to my diet, as i am allergic to seafood and thus have very limited intake of omega 3/6/9.
>
> my anxiety which i have had under control for several years now went through the roof. at first i thought i was pregnant, because the only other times i have felt that bad was in early stages of pregnancy, but alas, the test said no. the only change id had in my life was the introduction of two flaxseed oil pills a day, and a womens multivitamin.

> i stoppped taking them, and sure enough, the anxiety cleared up. i am going to try again next week as a personal test and see if it increases my anxiety levels again. i certainly hope it isnt the flax oil, as i REALLY do need these things in my diet to be healthy, but all signs are pointing to it.

> funny, i thought i must have been the only person in the world to have had this side effect, but apparently im not! good to see.I agree--it's good to know others have the same problem, that it's a real issue, even if an uncommon one.
Best of luck working it out,
