In reply to fish oil - do side-effects pass?, posted by g_g_g_unit on October 5, 2011, at 7:40:56
hi,
are you taking any other supplements? ive found fish oil reacts badly with some other supps such as b6, magnesium and selenium.
EPA is what works for me, not DHA. i had hypomanic symptoms at the start also which went away after a few weeks. i actually quite enjoyed this feeling but i understand why it might not be good for someone with bipolar.
EPA works like a dream for me now. i've only ever tried 2 meds: lexapro and xanax. this beats them hands down.
id suggest lowering the amount of EPA you are taking and maybe take it with food if you werent before. also take it earlier in the day as it can affect sleep at the start. this also passed for me after a while.
good luck.
> hey did anyone find that they experienced an initial increase in anxiety on fish oil which later passed? thinking of retrying it and was wondering if there any rationale to sticking it out through the neg. effects.. thanks
