> Your dose of omega-3 fish oil is too low here.Try 5-10g daily (total of EPA plus DHA) as well as continuing on the Prozac.I have seen that dose work in just a few days.
1 single dose of my fish oil contains EPA 500 mg and 310 mg DHA.
If I need 5 g, that would mean 10 fish oils a day.
How is that possible?My concern here is that my Avant brand fish oil contains cholesterol, when I took 4, I already felt dizzy. I suppose that is related to the blood pressure thing.
There's another brand that does not contain cholesterol. But it's way too expensive. Selling for S$80 per bottle!
So how do I up my EPA levels in an affordable way? Is flaxseed oil suitable or any other suggestions?
Advise needed!
Thanks!
