Yes, I found many benefits to taking Borage ( GLA) supplements, one of which was a huge increase in energy and mental clarity. ( I have very lethargic, dull type depression).
I also found that after a month or so of taking it, my extremely horrible panic attacks slowly got better and I have not had one since.I cant say enough good things about it.
The thing that is probably making you feel better is Prostaglandin E-1, which is made from Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA)- Borage, Everning Primrose and Black Currant are they only natural things that I know of that contain GLA. A healthy person will usually turn Omega 6's into GLA, but some people will have problems producing enough due to faulty enzymes ( so goes the theory- which I believe)
I posted a few times over the last 8 months or so about my experiences with it, if you search "GLA" or "Borage Oil" you might be interested in checking them out if you are intersted in the topic..
