> DianeHi,
I take the Costco (Kirkland) brand of concentrated fish oil. It is coated to release in the intestines instead of the stomach, to avoid the nasty fish taste. I take 10 grams per day and have no fish aftertaste. You need to look at the total EPA and DHA rather than the grams of fish oil. I take 2400mg of EPA and 2000mg of DHA on a daily basis. After several months of this and maybe a missed diagnosis of soft bipolar, I feel great. I also came off of 90mg per day of Nardil over eight weeks with no side effects or return of depression (cross my fingers).
