nut_job Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 with whole fish oil Omega-3 thing? I am just starting on it and was wondering if anyone here had any luck and at what dose? Thanks, N.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borzage Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I take "The Total EFA" by Health from the Sun (stupid name). It's important to take Omegas 3, 6, and 9 in the proper ratios, otherwise they are useless. Sorry, I forget the ratios since my brain is unable to retain numbers. Anyway, these work subtly. I don't feel a rush or anything wonderful. But they do give me an edge when I'm depressed, so that I am able to do other things to help myself, v. when I don't take them, everything is worse. They also help me deal with stress. Only drawback is that they are stupidly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifezilla Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hubby was told it may help with his depression while he waited for his other meds to kick in. It really did help. I also started taking it because, in my family, people have this nasty habit of dropping dead in their 40's due to heart disease. Fish oil can seriously reduce heart disease risks. A side benefit was my joint pain started to go away, and my allergies became way less severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaRufina Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think it makes a big difference for me in terms of depression and probably irritability a little bit. I just know that when I stop taking them, it is very noticeable. I start feeling like crap and depressed and cranky and it's just a big mess. I wouldn't want to stop taking them. You do have to give it some time for it to make a difference most of the time. I take 3,000mg/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 It depends on what you want it to do. I don't recommend using it for a tire jack. It's helped me level out a bit after having been in a funk for the better part of a year and definately helped my focus. Here's some research: http://upmc.com/Communications/NewsBureau/...ImproveMood.htm http://www.upmc.com/HealthManagement/Manag...?chunkiid=21684 I've got a several different sources listed in the crazystore. If you get it there it helps the site pay bills and anything left over helps me eat. http://astore.amazon.com/crazyboards05-20/...6977966-2431633 http://astore.amazon.com/crazyboards05-20/...6977966-2431633 http://astore.amazon.com/crazyboards05-20/...6977966-2431633 http://astore.amazon.com/crazyboards05-20/...6977966-2431633 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
