how much omega 3 to take for depression

Bump....

Hi there, yes there can be a danger to the baby if you are taking a poorly made fish oil supplement. You are going to have to really be careful as to what brand you decide to take. There are a lot of really great brands out there as well as some really not so good ones. Just make sure that they are very reputable and investigate how their oil is produced and where the fish is harvested from and whether or not it comes from wild or farm raised fish like salmon for example.

I have capsules that are 1200mg. of fish oil per pill and my doc wants me to take 3 a day. To hit the depression the dose has to be higher than a normal person would take. I buy them at Iherb.com, Dr. Michael Murray's Fish Oil capsules, he makes the high dose capsules with all the right amounts of the other things my doc told me to get. You can buy 180 capsules for $13.87 but it's pharmacutical grade, meaning it will improve depression and mood.

I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.

ve read in this forum that others have also had adverse reactions to taking this supplement. So I wanted to put this poll out to see how omega 3 affects you. The first time I suspected krill oil, which is supposed to be the best omega 3, I used the process of elimination. Still not believing it I did it a second and third time. Now I don't dare take it even after my ablation for SVT because I don't want the other arrythmias.

m really into Omega 3, but take plenty.

Ok, I am a college grad student who has recently come back to school for another degree, and I use fish oil for anxiety- I am horrible with people my own age or older. I am fine with the kids I work with, but my age and older- ugh! Anyways, I take effexor and fish oil (used to take lexapro, it was tough getting off trust me), and I would say stay on it, and add the fish oil. Maybe consider getting the dose lowered.

I read where Omega 3 was good for your dog. Is it a different Omega 3 or is it the same that humans take?

you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.

The omega-3 fatty acids should be in your prenatal.

What I would do is go to my local health food store and ask about natural sorces of Omega 3 like seeds, nuts etc and have a chat with ur doctor and ask if it would be safe to take an Omega supplement with the medication u are already taking.

Hey there, I haven't used SAM-e, but it does have pretty good benefits. Apparently, quite a bit of testing has proven it has efficacy in treating both anxiety and also depression, so I would not think this is a placebo effect taking place. To test it, you can go off SAM-e for a week and then monitor how you are feeling emotionally, and if you aren't feeling all that well without taking it, then that would prove its working.

Yes, I did in the past. I suffer from the same thing and tried to get off my meds and be natural. At first I was still a little down. I made friends with a nutritionist. I don't remember how much my dose of fish oil was, but you have to take high doses in order for it to be therapeutic. I can't remember the exact dose, but it was plus or minus 1,000 mg of EPA. EPA is found on the back of the bottle. That is what you're looking for. Not, necessarily DHA.

i take omega 3 fish oil caps. 1 twice a day. it also works for depression for me. my anxiety attacks have decreased greatly. i also learned controlled breathing. i believe the fish oil caps. are amazing. at least they work wonderfully for me.

Formula for Depression Due to Norepinephrine Depletion: Nutrient Dose Directions L-Tyrosine 500 mg 4 to 10 capsules per day in 2 or 3 equal doses on an empty stomach OR -- L-Phenylalanine 500 mg 1 to 3 capsules per day in equal doses on an empty stomach Vitamin B6 50 mg 1 capsule 3 times per day Vitamin C 1000 mg 1 capsule per day I also recomend taking a good Omega 3 suppliment twice daily. Omega 3 is excellent food for the brain and can help with overall brain fuction.

I take vallium once a day at night to help me sleep without the vertigo. Through the chiropractor I take one for depression and the other for helping to wire my brain correctly, it is cortisol which he believes I have been low on since I was eleven. I get from psych, or internist or chiropractor blood tests for lithium levels, liver count, white blood cells, toxins and my thyroid...both tests for the thyroid. I agree with corlenbelspar and the usuals that give incredibly good info.

This combo is probably OK... Omega-3 and b complex are frequently used in addition to normal multivitamins but I'd ask the doctor again and make sure you get a straight answer, or call a pharmacist just to be sure..

I take Omega-3 supplements and Vitamin D. For Omega-3, you need to make sure that what you're taking has a high concentration of EPA fats, as these are the ones that will actually help with mood stabilization. Look for capsules that come from fish oil, not flax seed, because flax contains a different type of Omega-3 (ALA). I use a brand called OmegaBrite because my doctor recommended it, actually. Apparently it's one of the best out there to help treat bipolar disorder and depression.

t purify it, meaning you get more than just the omega 3 oils, but that means you get less of the omega 3 oils and have to take more of them, and they are expensive. Cod liver oil shouldn't be taken regularly -- it can have a laxative effect, and the liver is a detoxification organ, meaning toxins accumulate there. It can be good for skin problems and other things, but for basic omega 3 you don't want liver oil.

The benefits of the omega-3s to your heart, arteries, brain, and digestive system are simply too numerous to name. And since moms are routinely told to steer clear of eating omega-3 rich fish and seafood during pregnancy, why not encourage them to take more supplements? DR.D.

I am keen to balance out any hormone imbalance but i seem to have a sensitivity to omega 3, or perhaps is it iodine? Most of the literature online seems to suggest omega 3 will reduce inflammation, thereby helping reduce acne.

I think you need to ask your doctor before taking any omega 3. I have heard that it helps when you are trying to conceive but I am not sure about when you are already pregnant or how much.

I was just wondering if it was safe to take omega 3 with zoloft 25mg and i take militonin at night to help me sleep,,
