i find them both stimulating, due to their effects on norepinephrine levels.

From other people's postings on this board, I've gathered that DHA is more calming / stabilizing. To the point where it may darken your mood a bit, however; you'll have to see.
Though I've never read any primary source material on this, I've also heard around here that EPA is dopaminergic. Which could help explain why fish oil gives some people insomnia.

DHA alone gives me insomnia too.
