In reply to Re: Can fish oil cause mania ?, posted by Larry Hoover on February 2, 2003, at 12:16:11
I have depression without mania, but I can tell yo that for me, I can feel in my body that there is more serotonin action with the fish oil. For me, it shows up as restlessness. So, I can imagine that if fish oil does indeed increase the availablity of serotonin, it could possible cause mania, especially in conjunction with AD medications.
However, it seems Dr. Stoll is studying high doses of EPA fish oil in bipolar disorder, with initial reports indicating that it helps most of the subjects.
