I find it varies according to how I feel..
in November when My seasonal depression is holding me in my bed..i'll absolutey need the capsules (standard 180epa/120dha) in my pocket, taking one every three/four hours just to keep my head feeling fresh, stable and aware, and two at night to help deep sleep and feel great when I wake up...
at the moment summertime..I just take two at night pre-sleep and one with every proper meal usually at night..but I'll just be slightly dull if I don't take them with food in the day..not ill..
also if i'm taking other drugs..cannibas, E or whatever for days out, i'll use the oil to help protect my brain from the extra stress those drugs put on you...the same applies to AD's I can't handle them without some neural protection...
Don't stop AD's and switch due to my influence please...omega 3 along with red meat can help Ad's work even better..so you could take less..
The only line between all the chemicals seems to be one of medical responsibility and vested interest. I mean I might get a bit heavy about how prescribed drugs get the number one say and thats sort of political I suppose..but I'm just as glad to have prozac and effexor and buspar and nitrazepam, clopizone, losec etc etc when I need them....those drugs are absolutely specific and its lucky we have them....
Personally I find AD's too heavy on my guts, for regular use and I just found out its because our stomach has its own "brain" with 100 million neurons operating as an almost independent system (you can cut the nerve from stomach to brain and the stomach will still produce the same transmitters serotonin etc independant of the brain)...maybe an alternative delivery method would stop all the side effects ..
AD's were'nt tested on anything other than the effect on disected rat brains..the scientists did'nt realise they were messsing up the quite different agenda of the stomach "brain"..
sometimes I think I have too much to say..but fascinating is what I thought..
