Re: Evidence Omega-3, Omacor?

I'm currently taking Omacor for bipolar disorder. It is the Omega-3 pharmaceutical, made by Reliant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It doesn't seem to help depression but it might be a bit of a mood stabilizer... I think it is helping my hair, so I suppose that's something! (That is, the hair that is not falling out due to the Lamictal...)

Does anyone know anything about Omacor? Here's their blurb:

"By prescribing OMACOR, your doctor is giving you a concentrated and reliable omega-3. Each OMACOR capsule contains 90% omega-3 acids (84% EPA/DHA*). OMACOR is naturally derived and manufactured through a unique, patented process that creates a highly concentrated, highly purified prescription medicine. The unique manufacturing process for OMACOR helps to eliminate worries about mercury and other pollution from the environment."

Just because they say we needn't worry about pollutants doesn't mean we're truly safe...

I'm interested in any opinions or knowledge about Omacor, especially about possible toxins.
