Hi.
Iam desperate to loose some of the weight I gained while on Depakote. so, I thought I'd try the Fat Flush plan, but it has you take supplements like Evening Primrose Oil, and Flaxseed oil. Has anyone had success on this diet plan? Did it effect your seizures? What do you think of the supplements?
Thanks-Rebecca

YIKES! Check before you take!!! Search on the internet regarding Evening Primrose. There are warnings for people with seizure disorders and other brain issues. In your search engine type "evening primrose" and read the "who should not take" of the info.

P.S. Flax seed oil can be checked online as well. That is a good source of Omega 3. But read about it for your own peace of mind.

Evening Primose is a big NO NO if you have epilepsy - if you are trying to loose weight how about a sensible calorie controlled diet - with exercise and aim to loose 1-2 lbs per week - worked for me is taking time but it is the safe way to do it.

Don't rob your body of food and don't fall for any fad diets - eat well but sensibly

Lots of Luck
