I have been on the fish oil for two weeks now and I feel worse too. Considerably worse. This is the first time since being off my meds that I've felt any significant stirs of my depression (anxiety, insomnia, horrible self-talk automatically playing inside my head). I feel so much better that I found I'm not the only one. I will stop taking it right now!

Sam-e, on the other hand, has been helping me to maintain my depression, sans antidepressants, for over two months now. Until the fish oil. Did everyone's worsening fish-oil depression stuff go away when they went off? And what does everyone think of Sam-e?

Same thing. The brand of oil was Jamieson Omega 3. The doses i've tried were: 500 mg, 1000 mg and 5000 mg of EPA.
