glad to help...

What dose are in the capsules you take? and how much do you take each day of EPS and DHL in mg?I never got too sophisticated with the omega 3..by the time I tried my second brand "higher nature" which is salmon oil the stomach problems went totally..I was so glad...I know some really expensive pure stuff exists..mine is just standard 180 EPA 120 DHA recipe..
>How long did it take to feel the effect?
right away within 30 minutes I felt like I was getting inside myself..had more space..wider visual field..noise did not drive me so crazy...I ran to tell a friend and many people...then I read the research and realized what a breakthrough this was.
My Top TIP is to take it before you sleep..the effect on waking is profound....peripheral vision increases...and nerves get stronger ...This is two years now....my social overload has gone...I can get through meetings..get through..now I feel like I can run one!!
its still quite strange to get used to being this solid...I have to keep stopping and starting them and say "can this be real, can I feel this OK ?", but slowly have come out my shell and am now no longer on sick benefit (ten years) ...I am dealing with getting back to life..which is not easy..but its now possible..
>Are you on any other meds and what is your dx?
I have all sorts of meds from trying so many...and I use them for various things..but my main things I need to take are losec for guts, sleeping pills, and Omega 3. everything else..buspar, paxil, effexor, clopizone, merbentyl, and not legal drugs come in really handy when shades of other conditions or creative oppurtunities rear their head..
I suppose my DX now is just G.A.D. and S.A.D. but I've had shades of all sorts of other conditions run thru these..seven years ago he said I was "chronic Schizoid"
My GP can see me getting well so Dx has become less and less of an issue...
I tried eating fish for the omega 3 effect..tinned tuna is useless...some tinned salmons ..the german stuff has a slight omega 3 effect..but its harder on the guts than the capsules...have'nt tried fresh fish...I did the calculations as to how much real fish I would need
"no way man, I aint eating eight trouts !!"
