Ive been taking lexapro and just a few weeks ago started taking Cod Liver Oil, bottled by Carlson (says its Norwegian w/ lemon to help with taste--ans it does taste fine). I have definitely noticed a positive effect, but its pretty subtle at the doses ive been taking (maybe 1 to 2g of both DHA and EPA). Plus its hard to tell--because Im so up and down all the time, plus Ive just added another AD to the lex (wellbutrin), which is making me sleep less, which makes it even harder to determine what is doing what.
Since its not good to try to get all of it from Liver oils, Id like to add another oil, like flaxseed. I like to take the oil straight, not the capsules. And I would guess its cheaper this way. I would like to get around 5 g or so but its so darn expensive. Its worth it, though, to find a supplement that actually does something. It seems to me that the first thing any doc should do is make sure a patient is getting their omegas.
good luck> How much fish oil do you need to take anyway? 100 mg? 500? Please advise

> i am taking 10 mg of lexapro daily. But I'm interested in fish oil as well. Anybody taking both?
