> Tealady: thank you for the questions you answered. I am going to read those sites. I'm also going to have to re-read your letter to get it. In the meantime: what is T3 activity, EPO (evening primrose oil?) , GLA (gamma lin…something acid?)?
EPO=evening primrose oil= GLA =gamma linolinec acid
T3 = one of the thyroid hormones..a(the?) biologically active one...a neurotransmitter ?... probably the original antidepressant..needed for metabolism..important in heart function too.. heart problems develop with too little or too much T3, ...long story of everything t3 does..probably most of body and brain
T3 receptors may become less "blocked" by fish oil..so they begin to function better...if this is what is happening,that is good as depresssion may lessen, weight should be easier to lose, problems that may develop with heart, and many other things may not happen in the future.....
T3 is just ONE possibility, and perhaps I should not have suggested it. ..it was just that it seemed to fit so I suggested it as a possibility.
It could also be a possibility that any of the other receptors are becoming less blocked too...like adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine...whatever.
I would imagine that an increase in the adrenaline or noradrenaline? would also cause a faster heart rate...anyone know what happens with any of the other receptors??
I was just trying to read on Effexor it to see what it affected...maybe noradrenaline would be likely what you get too much of with fish oil? I really have no knowledge of this to even make a guess at it...perhaps some others might?It makes NO difference to the suggested treatment..ie. build up very gradually so your body gets used to it. Eat fish instead of the oil etc.
Has anyone else found a drug interaction between fish oil and Effexor?
>On the flatulence: I haven't started walnuts, yet, so I don't know. I guess I'll be getting some today. I never had a problem with that until I took Effexor. (Joking with friends once, I said "I don't make body noises." It was true.No, I remember I never used to either...
>All of a sudden I knew why others had trouble with beans. I'll now have to limit how much I eat of those.) I had a terrible problem until I put flatulence into Google and came up with a serotonin connection. I had been eating frozen pasta dinners (two for one sale at the store) and I read about white pasta and white flour in the intestines. I dropped those dinners and my problem went away.
Ok, so effexor lists "flatulence" as a side effect..so it may not be just the fish oil..it is also processed carbs etc..is this correct?
I'm not completely sure mine is the fish oil..not tested enough t be certain.
I just tried looking at google, but I haven;t found anything about serotonin and flatulence as yet.... what was the connection you found (sorry it's getting late at night and i'm tired)..Won't be on here tomorrow..amalgam removal....I hopeJan
