Sorry for the triple post. I take 1,8g of EPA. Does it kick in more at higher dosages? At what point did you feel the effects? How did you titrate?

Do you just take EPA I hope? DHA depresses me. No less than 4 grams EPA for me. What brand of algae do you use? Spirulina or Blue Green Algae?

No i take 1,4 DHA also. EPA 2 DHA 1 Ratio. I am not sure. it says that they mixed algae to get that particular ratio of EPA/DHA. I dont take the algae themselves, just the oil made from them.

Most algae oils have the ratio EPA 1 DHA 2. It took a long time to find the product i use which is EPA 2 DHA 1.

My Ativan consumption is way down since i take the algae oil! Fish oil made me worse. The algae oil has the 2EPA/1DHA ratio. @mogger: The company does not respond to my requests. Sorry.

Im not sure but i will keep taking it as it is supposed to be very healthy and it certainly doesnt make me worse. I think the product i take isnt available in the US. Sorry.

Hey Scott,

you may want to try a high dosage. How are you doing on Parnate? Do you need an AP along or do you get by without?

Do you have any side effects? What about the risk of bleeding and thin blood?

Slight thinning of the blood but not much and no other side effects. I have tried many brands and the enteric coated ones are the best and I like omegavia.

Hmm, Scott seems to be absent. I got worse from Nordic Naturals Fish oil. I only tolerate the Algae Oil so far but it is too expensive and it is not concentrated enough! I have ordered your caps and will see what I can do. I also thought to increase Venlafaxine to from 40 to 80.

Also, a dr drew blood and he will speak to me about the results on Wednesday. So I got a few potentially good things coming my way.

I hope I can go back to the gym soon with enough motivation.

The product you use is available in Germany. I just took 3 capsules. I hope i will see benefits soon. Yesterday i was informed that i have an Iron deficiency. Taking 100mg of Iron for 3 days and then i taper down to 20mg gradually.
Thanks for your posts!

I am back on the algae oil. It serves me better than fish oil. I do not know why I have a problem with fish oil. I guess I will never find out.
