Adamie - Fish oil seems to be the best source of omega-3-fatty acids. I have a feeling, but no proof, that the oil does have some efficacy, especially at the doses you use. I believe that the mechanism of action is intracellular, possibly slowing the phosphoinositol reactions, and thus affecting calcium ion transport within the nerve cell.
I have somewhere in my files the relative concentrations of omega-3-fatty acids in different fish. I think (but am not positive) that salmon oil is higher in omega-3s than others.
Just out of curiosity, do you (or those around you) not a fishy smell coming from you.
