> I'm a big fish-hater too. From what i understand, supplements (if you find a good one--a lot of drugstore brands are crummy) work better than trying to just eat a lot of stuff with omega-3's in it. Who would want to eat that much fish anyway?

> In the past (for a few years) i took a therapeutic dose of 10 softgels of OmegaBrite (the best brand i'd found) omega-3 supplement a day and it helped me a lot with mood/depression/anxiety. However, i'm in college now and without my mom to put out tons of vitamins for me every morning i've been slacking on taking them (plus it's fairly expensive). Since i stopped taking them i saw a rebound of my depression and am now on effexor (sigh). If i could remember to take all the vitamins every day i probably wouldnt need the prescription drugs (when i was taking the fish oil i wasnt on any psych meds and did fine moodwise). Even at smaller doses than the 10 gels a day i was on you'd probably see improvements. Their website is:
