> Would you mind taking a very mild tasting fish oil in the liquid form? I'm thinking of Carlson's brand. All you would need is a teaspoon a day. Any time you take a fish oil product you want a high quality one and drink plenty of water to reduce the chance of a fish burp or too. And if you feel that much better on fish oil(even if you don't the overall health benefits are enough of a reason to take it), what's a burp or two?

> MorganSounds good to me :) I don't mind taking a fish oil supplement as long as I don't get too many fish burps lol! I am going to look into the natural anxiety supplements you suggested as well..
Hopefully the Zoloft will get my mind calm again but I am not going to rely on just the meds to solve my anxiety issues.. I like a more holistic approach and a good exercise program..
I have never really liked the idea of using ssri's for my anxiety but they have been the only thing that has worked for me since 1999.. I only hope that I haven't altered my brain chemistry too much in the process :(
I guess it helps that I only drink water and eat healthy.. My therapist suggested that I try yoga as well..
I want to start weight training again but I may put that off because I am 5'8 and 113 lbs.. The yoga may be less calorie burning.. I sure don't need to lose any more weight lol!
I have lost about 20 lbs since July from my anxiety issues :(
I used to weigh around 115 -120 before I started on SSRI's in 1999.. When I stopped taking the meds, I lost the 20- 30 lbs I had gained while on Zoloft and then Prozac.. I crave carbs when I am on too high of a dose of zoloft I guess..
