> 2g of fish oil may not be enough.Cod liver oil contains omega-3 but too much vit A for high doses.How about buying omega-3 in Walmart and taking 5-10 g daily (total of EPA and DHA).Do not take omega-3 if on treatment for blood disorders)
Hi Doc,
I'm now been taking
80mg prozac (two capsules in morning and two capsules in evening)
6.25mg tianeptine (broke the tablet in half and took half daily with morning dose of prozac as a full tablet causes me to have racing heartbeats and bad tremors)
50mg trazodone at night for sleep and anti-ocd
3 g of omega 3 fatty acidsI SEEM to be SLIGHTLY better but can't confirm since it's only the 3rd day.
What do you think of my medication combo and the duration for maximum benefits?
The cost is expensive though.....which one should I cut down if I wish to save costs.....
Also, my doc says prozac works on serotonin 1 and 2 while tianeptine works on serotonin 3 and 4 via different mechanisms......wonder what he means.
Regards.
