> Yes, that is amazing, I get hypomania on just 2 teaspoons of flax oil (mixed with cottage cheese, as part of the Budwig diet) but I tried flax oil in the past and alone it gave me annoying hypomania. My b/f took same dose as me today and felt nothing!

LilakiThe hypomania sounds amzing! I haven't had a hypomania episode for a few years now (diagnosed BipolarII/NOS) and have suffered with constant flat mood/depression.
What dose of the flaxseed oil did you take to become hypomanic? I'd love to know as it is quite cheap too.
Thanks
