Can anyone tell me what the most common side-effects are for taking Omega-3, and also evening primrose oil ?

Personal experience speaking, I take both and have not had any side effects. This greatly surprised me, as I have a wretched side effect profile with most "stuff" I've tried to take.
The only one (SE) I really know of is mild stomach distress which can be minimized - taking them with food (which you should do anyway), or change brands.The only caution I've found is cautioned use if you take blood thinners or high dose asprin.
Again, for me, I've tolerated both well.

Stomach upset.
The combination shouldn't be any worse than taking either alone. Take with a large fatty meal, and if you still get stomach upset, cut the dose in half for a while, and then try and increase gradually. Tolerance can be developed over time.
