Hmm, maybe there is too much off this plastic
crap in my brain. I believe Serzone made me a
dummy, but I was a drunk, painless,
and happy dummy. Its actions must have
antagonized neuronal plasticitiy.

As a side note, these chronic tension headaches
I got started 3 weeks after taking large supplements
of flax-oil and fish oil. The supplements had a substantial
effect on my mood at 1st , very similar to SSRIS.
I felt a little tired but much less anxious. One
day I woke up and BOOM, permanant tension headaches.
Attenuated when I dropped the flax seed oil, but
now anything that was an anti-depressant like
Zoloft,Wellbutrin,and even flax seed oil makes my
headache worse. Klonopin,Serzone,Zyprexa make things
better. In fact I have challenged the Zyprexa with
Wellbutrin and it mitigates the headache an even
minor dose of Wellbutrin would normally give me.
I think this is related more to the alpha-1 and
5ht-2a antagonism, and somehow indirect the nmda
receptors. I challenged Klonopin with Zoloft and
it mitigated Zoloft emotional numbing and side
effects. Wondering if I should dose Zoloft in
with the Zyprexa to see if I can wipe out the
dysthymia. I have no leftovers like the wellbutrin
to test out, and the doc said no.

Does the omega-3 fish oil affect synaptic plasticity,
anyone, anyone ?

thanks for any info to help unfoobar me.
