Just about anything can give you a side effect if you are sensitive to it (like most people are with dairy products) or take too much of it.
I wonder, though, how many people would be agitated or anxious taking the recommended dosage.
In the studies that showed effective relief from depression and insomnia when combined with anti-depressants, the dose was a gram a day.
Maybe folks are trying to use the fish-oil supplement as a drug instead of a nutritional additive, and that's where it gets them into trouble?
(I don't know, so I'm really asking.)
