I finally gave in, got on the bandwagon, and go some fish oil. Vitacost (of course) super EFA or something. On sale, thank goodness.
2 caps=2+ grams fish oil, 800mgs/EPA. So, first I took a double dose a few days ago. These past 2 days, I've been taking 4X the amount on the label so I can get the 8-9+grams fish oil and 3ish grams EPA some studies would indicate are necessary to get good results.
I feel better already! I should point out that, of course, I also do Orthomolecular. The fish oil is one of over 10 high dose supplements I've got in the line up. Also, I was relatively stable to start with, just in need of a little tweaking here and there to get better results.
Anyway, I'll keep popping the fish oil for at least the next several months to see if it at least helps medication work better. That'd be nice. Also, if I can get over this depression+agitation w/o an AD (I was Rx'd Tofranil-PM, but that'll require prior authorization), then...YESS! I don't much care for ADs, anyway.
Oh, and the vitacost stuff is "molecularly distilled," which apparently = awesome. Its also strawberry flavored which, at my dose, I certainly appreciate.
