I think it's side effect free for me, but I can't be sure. I began taking fish oil when I was on Parnate (MAOI AD)but knew I'd be going off it, so any side effects I may have from FO I am likely to attribute to not being on an AD anymore... I don't have any acne or digestive problems from the FO.
As for benefits, I think it is very definitely an AD for me. My HDL (good cholesterol) has gone up tremendously, so that's a plus, albeit a non-psychaitric one.
Hope this helped some!
