I don't know about the eskimos, but taking a supplement is different than getting the nutrients from the direct food source. Who knows what other nutrient combinations they are getting while getting their omega 3's. Hey, if they work for you take'm but I tried twice and once as long as two weeks because I thought it would normalize. Well, it just got worse and if I slept better before it dosen't seem to be in my best interest to continue it. The spacey feeling was really disturbing and reminded me of the feeling remeron gave me. I would rather be depressed and have anxiety than to be a space cadet.
I was mostly responding to the post regarding fish oil as being called a "new AD". I should also add I took flax seed meal everything morning and had the same effect albeit at a slower development. I had good sleep for two weeks and then the fragmenting began and after 2.5 weeks I gave it up. However, it took longer to get my sleep back. For me, side effects do not really improve much after I start a med. I am the type of person that has to find somehting that either doesn't have a SE or has ones I can tolerate. I do find as I age some side effects actually have gottten a tad worse.
Maybe it works on dopamine, but too much dopamine production doesn't suit me??? I have no idea
