Larry..I recall you are located in Canada. Do you have any particular brands that you would suggest? What have you had best luck with?
I also wanted to make another point. I have found some research that suggests people who take more than 2 grams of fish oil a day didn't fare as well in studies. (I don't have the reference on hand, but it was based on more than one study.)
Also, from my own experience, the plant based omega 3's, like flax and evening primrose, tended to cause an aggitated mania, but also a bit of a lift in my depression. I have had mostly neutral responses to fish oil.(Mind you, I have been Dx'd with BPII, Rapid Cycling.)
In his book "Beyond Prozac", Dr. Michael Norden suggests taking a balance of the fish and plant oils based on your symptoms. Eg. A smaller dose of plant oil and larger fish if you experience anxiety, constipation, sleeplessness, etc.
Any comments on that? The evidence seems to be building that these oils do work, but the question of dose, ratio of oils, etc, seem to still need to be answered.
Thanks!
Jay..
