When I was on them, I never felt the dramatic improvement that other people have reported. But since I have discontinued them due to agitation, I think they were doing something positive.
Maybe I just haven't found the right brand or the right combination to get the best result. As an FYI, getting omega 3 from food just doesn't cut it as a replacement. I thought it did in a previous post I wrote but now I am wondering.
I am going to be switching to a supplement that I think is less activating. Then I will try the fish oil capsules again to see if this combination will work.
It really is trial and error as I have had no luck with alternative practitioners. I don't want to get off topic but just because I have railed against mainstream psychiatry doesn't mean I have any love for most alternative folks.
