I'm starting Norwegian Salmon fish oil pills for mild depression. I'd rather not take meds, but will have to if my depression gets worse. The pills contain 180 EPA and 120 DHA each. I'm thinking of taking 6 pills. Does anyone have any more information on the correct dosage. I've read that you can take too much. Thanks.

I found that 6 was a fair dosage. I think that 4-5 was ideal for myself. I think that too much can actually be a little depressing.

I just started taking fish oil capsules and I'm having a hard time getting past the "fishy-burps" all day long. ICK!

Studies seem to indicate that no more than 1 gram of EPA is what you need for maximum efficacy. So 6 capsules would give you 1080 mg = 1.08 grams which is perfect.
