Fish oil can significanltly increase dopamine levels. Some people's anxiety is dopamine sensitive.

Fish oil never increased my physical anxiety, but had the capacity to increase my mental anxiety when taken in large doses. I think this is an indication of dopaminergic involvement.

AP's eliminated the anxiety produced by too much fish oil, but beta blockers (which helped my physical anxiety) never changed fish oil's effect.

Note. Low doses of fish oil undoubtedly decreased my anxiety. INcreased anxiety only happened at 2+ grams of DHA.

Also note, the DHA rich oils seemed to produce more anxiety, and the EPA oils produced little.
