There are studies that showed that when psychiatric patients improved on high EPA fish oil, and then regular fish oil with normal ratios of DHA were subsituted, the patients conditions worsened from where they had been on high ratio EPA. Don't know why. I don't think they've done enough studies to really know.
You could try a high ratio EPA version and see. The one I take is Nordic Naturals EPA. Each capsule has 425mg EPA and 100mg DHA. There is a brand called EPA Brite by Advanced Series that is pure EPA. It can be mailordered and it is pricey at about $50 a bottle.
I have some background anxiety all the time and I can't tell if it is because my zyprexa dosage has been creeping down ever so slowing or whether it is the fish oil or the lithium orotate.
