Hey -- dx before tx? Symptoms constant or variable? Consider charting monthly cycles to look for patterns? If PMS-like, post to me for some links
If you're taking BC pills -- check with gyn; some/many brands cause/increase depression. So too depo-provera shots and Norplant, in susceptible women.Since I don't know your dx, fish oil for bipolar: search for Andrew Stoll, MD at Harvard Med, dept of Psychiatry. He did the orginal study on fish oil and bipolar.
Caveat: all Stoll's patients REMAINED on their pmeds during the study. Used as adjunct, not tx.
Also previous poster is correct; if for bipolar use ONLY at least 3:2 EPA to DHA. DHA can set off mania in bipolars.
Good luck.
