My pdoc wants me to increase the omega-3 i take (currently 600 mg in 2000 mg of fish oil). he says new research says i should take a lot more -- 2000 mg of omega 3 which would be equivalent to 4-5,000 mg of fish oil, he says. Sounds expensive! does anyone know a cheaper way to get the omega 3? He also said there are two types of omega 3s. EPA and DHA. He said you want both, but majority EPA.
Btw i am bipolar (mostly depression by far) and on a host of prescribed drugs too. He has me taking a few supplements as well.
Many thanks!

Hi, to consolidate the discussion, I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Alternative. Here's a link:

Thank you. I realized after the fact that it should have gone on Alternative board and posted it there. Sorry I didn't think of removing it from Med board.

Omega 3 Mood by Country Life. 6 or 7 to 1 EPA to DHA ratio. Excellent for mood stabilization. You can get it on Amazon for quite cheap. Worth every penny!

Thank you, thank you! This is so helpful. The EPA to DHA ration is great. I've read it should be at least 2 to 1 but this is much higher (I assume that's good?). Cheap is good too!
