In reply to Fish oil - How much EPA/DHA do you take daily?, posted by ghuber on December 24, 2005, at 11:26:22
I took 9 (yes) grams a day for about 45 days. It was a good pharmaceutical grade brand, but I don't remember the EPA/DHA ratio. Did not have any problems with stimulation. Some diarrhea, though.
It did not help me at all. But I am in an extremely severe (incapacitating) depression triggered by having been prescribed an ADD drug which, unbeknownst to me, was an amphetimine which caused a horrific relapse of manic depression that had been in total remmision for 13-1/2 years. The depression part of this nightmare began in November 2002 and continues today, over 3 years later despite dozens and dozens of treatments conventional and alternative. So, I am in a highly atypical situation which hopefully won't discourage anyone from trying fish oil.
