> > I was diagnosed w ADD at 26 yrs old but learned I have had it my entire life. I have been prescribed Stimulants & Prosac & Zoloft. I can't really notice any significant changes in my though processes (concentration etc....) I am now 33 yrs old. Can anyone please give me some advise. I have been reading articles on Flax Oil to increase the level of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in my diet to help with concentration but....will it help adults w ADD or does it only help children (as I have read in one article). I need some guidence on this please. I have also been thinking of putting my girlfriend on it for depression. As you can tell I have a lot of questions.

> I take 2000MG of Flax seed oil a day..For what I'm not sure, mostly I guess for my heart. I want to live long enough to enjoy my IRA's.. It does a lot of stuff I hear too, but my depression, and Anxiety, and ADD (as I was originally DX'd with Many years ago) are all still there. Why not take it? But I wouldn't expect miracles.. I haven't seen any.
