Brief Answer:
Primrose oil is the only thing can cause those side effects in my opinion

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. No ma'am, there are no interactions between the supplements you take. As for the side effects of the supplements; cellulitis (skin infection), increased chances for inflammation, and/or itchy skin can be some of the side effects that primrose oil can cause.

But the other supplements are all safe and cannot really cause any side effects. If at all you seem to have noticed the swelling around your ankles and legs after initiation of these supplements then report to your prescribing doctor for further investigation and management.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
