Last week I asked for experiences with fish oil causing acne. Thanks to all who responded.
After two weeks, my acne problem has gone back to almost normal. I was never prone to acne and the fish oil did not cause a severe outbreak by any means. But I could notice a difference. I'm doing very well on the fish oil now.
After taking some 20 different anti-anxiety and AD meds, fish oil is actually showing some promise. I take 4 "geltabs" a day of normal fish oil (not the liver type) that I bought from Target. Anxiety is my major disorder and I think it has helped that somewhat. It really has helped with my depression. I feel like myself with no side-effects and I'm not taking any other regular meds other than supplements. I do take a xanax as needed but my consumption has dropped by 75%.
Thanks to Lar and the posters that have pitched fish oil. I never would have believed that it would have had a beneficial effect. I've never had a benefit from a supplement or herb that I could actually feel. I hope others that try it experience a benefit as well.
