> Well my friend I'm sorry they don't work for you but they sure as hell work for many other people. Maybe you didn't take fishoil at the right dose, or the right kind, or long enough. Or, maybe it just won't ever have a noticeable effect on the way you feel. I had a very noticeable lift in mood and energy the first week I took fish oil. I was taking Zoloft at the time so fish oil was like an adjunct. This effect is no placebo bro, you just did not happen to benefit from it the way you wanted to. Remember, things like fish oil are not supposed to be a monotherapy, they are usually considered to work best with other treatments/medications.

> You're right that D3 is the most commonly sold form. You're wrong that D2 is no longer used in milk, it is. I was probably wrong by saying that D2 is more commonly used in milk. I think this was the case in the past but milk producers have wised up and are using D3 more often than before.

Hummm first of all, I always take fish oil of premium quality.. the one with more EPA in it!!! Very expensive for nothing...

The brand name of the produt I taked for 1 year is Omega Joy... I don't know if they have them in the USA??? Look at this weblink...

http://www.abacohealth.com/index.php/prodid/GRE002

Secondly, I always take it with antidepressant med... as well as taking it in monotherapy...orow with Benzos meds.....when I was off of the AD... and I never see a difference... was taking 3 caps a day... increase the dosage at 6 caps a day... and they never do something on me... nothing noticeable...

For the D2... maybe they add it into milk... but what I read is that the milk industry use now D3 also... in the Canada of course... maybe not in the USA...

And for your information, I take a special RX only D3 vitamin supply of 50 000 units /day!!!

I also have to take 30 000 units of Vitamin A, 1500 mg of Calcium, 2 xtra strong Centrum, 1200mg of Iron and sometimes I add Vitamin B complex on the top of it, even if it's not effective, don't see a difference... and potassium supplements when I have legs cramps at night time...

I use all of them because of my gastric by-pass, not the same kind of gastric by-pass they made in the State... mine is not restrictive, I can eat what I want, but I pay the price for it! IF I eat fast food or thing who are fat... I have to go to the bathroom 5-6 times a day and orange oil, who smell bad, very bad.... will be floating on the top of the water!!!

That's also mean that I not absorb all of the amount of fat solube vitamins that I take... that's why they RX higher dosage of the Vit D3 and Vit A especially...

The Gastric by-pass I had in 2001 work with the bad absorbtion, mean that they remove 2/3 of the stomach, who is now returning to a normal state afters 8 years, since I can eat a lot of food at the same time without any pain of MAJOR problems... and they only leave 1,5 meter of intestine... they cut the rest of the intestine...

This Surgery have a BAD effect for meds absorbtion... Since all the new AD's are now in CR or XR version, I Can't take them... and if I take them, they don't work properly... I try the Effexor-XR or the Cymbalta and Pristiq, both are long acting...

With a small intestinal transit, they don't work well on me... And the SSRI'S in regular formulation make me FAT !!! Even with the gastric by-pass, I gain weight faster than light!!!

Ho... I have social phobia with GAD, panic attacks with agoraphobia and depression (caused by the Benzo meds I take each day), lack of motivation, no energy... that's like this since 2007...

I try severals meds since then... try some TCA's... Nardil and Parnate... all the SSRI's or the SRNI's... Topomax, Sabril, beta blockers, Gabapentin, Lyrica... and a lot more...I think I try everything...little exception to the Lithium...

I'm now trying to tapering the Rivotril (8mg/day, sometimes 10mg /day)... and just switch to the Valium... but this time, I can't only go on the Valium and forget the Rivotril completly... because since last spring, i'm stuck with a panic attacks problem who is really strong... I had that problem in the past, and I had panic attack sometimes, especially when I was in a sociable situation or walking alone in the street or in public transport or when I was doing oral exposure at the University... had to quit school in 2007 and since then I don't work... and I do nothing... I do severals therapy, exposure ones, change often of PDoc... had therapy for depression... had group therapy also... nothing work on me... and all the PDoc tend to told me that I'm treatment resistant!!! Anyways...
