Hyena,
Thank you for the feedback. I tried taking a high-EPA omega-3 supplement a few years ago: the EFA Gold "Mood Aid" supplement, if I remember correctly. I ended up discontinuing the supplement after my first day taking it because my ideas of reference became somewhat worse. I didn't notice any change in my depressive symptoms from taking the supplement, but then again, I don't think that I gave the supplement nearly enough time to exert any mood-boosting benefits. Given your success with high-EPA omega-3 supplements, I think that retrying such a supplement might be a worthwhile thing for me to do, if the benefits from my current treatment regimen give way. I'll probably notice an increase in ideas of reference again if I end up trying a high-EPA omega-3 supplement for a second time, but maybe it might be worth enduring some ideas of reference if it means that I'll get some long-term relief from my depressive symptoms.
Could you tell me the brand and dose of omega-3 fish oil that you're taking? As I see it, the more information I have, the better.
Thanks again,
Tomatheus
