How does fish oil compare to traditional meds??

Posted by sac on July 12, 2004, at 16:12:05

I have bipolar II and do not like the side effects I get from the moods stabilizers that I've been on. Mostly, I suffer from depression and I was wondering how fish oils compare to the traditional mood stabilizers. Have there been any studies comparing it with, say, Depakote? I'm looking for something that will improve my persistant dysthymia (already on Prozac 20mgs and can't go higher b/c of hypomanic switch). I'm tired of feeling hostile and irritable on Depakote and also if Dep is a mood stablilizer, why do I feel so "moody" on it?
