Rick,
Thanks for all of that. I just switched from Flax Oil to Fish Oils because of diarrhea probs. I didn't know for sure if it was my meds or if it was the Flaxseed oil, but when I switched to Fish oils the diarrhea got reduced significantly. I am just taking the cheap 3:2 EPA/DHA stuff you can find anyplace. I am only taking a total of 800mg a day of combined EPA/DHA, so it was a relief to find that consumption of 3G or greater was only a concern for heavy metals. What I am curious about is that I take only 250mg of Depakote every day for bipolar. I know that Depakote has an anticoagulant effect. I don't think I saw VPA mentioned in there. I have a warning label on my bottle of Depakote about taking it with aspirin and other anticoagulants, could a Depakote, fishoil reaction be possible at higher doses?
