The symptoms you describe are very much like those I had when I came off Parnate- It was like a curcuit got stuck open and the cortisol went haywire. I had such pains in my chest I thought I would die! Classic Panic stuff for six weeks, needed 5 mg of Xanax a day to break it.
So, perhaps you could wait 'till the Parnate washes out and things settle down and then give the fish oil a fair chance. Parnate is a really powerful drug, and my pdoc said that weirdnesses will often crop up from it even after it's discontinued. O 3 is just a protein found all through your body and ought to just be excreted if it's not needed. It sounds odd that food (fish oil is food, not a drug or a supplement) would do this stuff to you.Miss Liz
