I've experimented a lot with Andrew Stoll's Omegabrite product from doses of 2 to 4 grams per day to treat my anxiety disorder but have never had any luck. It sounds like you have some experience with fish oil. I'm just curious: Is there a safe, cheaper brand that I could experiment with up to 10 grams daily? I'd love to get some anti-anxiety relief from fish oil, but so far, it hasn't done a darn thing for me. Or perhaps I need to supplement with something else in addition to the fish oil?

>I think besides fish oil, take the following elements that calm your nervous sytems:
1 Calcium (800-1600 mg)
2 Magnesium (300-600 mg)
3 Zinc (10-20 mg)
4 Vitamin C (2000 mg time release) - preferably with bioflavoids
5 High Concentration Fish Oil (mine is a 1000mg capsule that contains 500 mg EPA + 300 mg DHA)These 5 Combined together, they seem to have a synergistic effect.
Remember your SSRIs/augmentation agent and CBT too!
