I have bipolar and i am taking 1500mgs of lithium, 75mgs Zoloft and 600mg of Trileptal.
I have been taking 1700mg of EPA (2200mg total omega 3) (only 4 pils) fish oil for about 3 months and I have seen great improvement in my mood. In fact the Dr will be decreasing my lithium next visit.
You will not smell like fish or have "fish burps" if you buy a kind that is properly distilled. if you have fish burbs it means the fish oil is bad and has already oxidized.
i use "Nordic Naturals" EPA (850mg of EPA per serving) I go through 1 bottle every two weeks and each bottle is about $26. But i found a local store that gives me a 20% discount if I buy 6 bottles at a time. It is just another med that I add to my combo so it is worth the money. Not to mention all the other great benefits the omega 3's offer me.
I tell everyone. I am living proof it works.
Good luck.
