Omega 3 anyone? - Bipolar Disorder Message Board

Hi all,
I'm wondering whether anyone takes Omega-3 herbal supplements? Saw my new doc today and he recommended taking 'em in addition to medication. Apparently they have proved helpful for some with mood problems. Maybe I should eat more salmon too.....

Flaxseed OIL has all 3 it has omega 3,6,9..All of the essential fatty acids that are very good for your body..yes i am taking this..I can relate BIGTIME to having bipolar even though i havent been diagnosed!!You can buy this one product from GNC. I have had such wonderful results from this ..I should be a saleswoman for them,lol..It tastes pretty gross....but i just down a tbsp of it then chase it with a big bite of applesauce or mix it in your oats!!! I only take this once a day and you absolutely have to make sure you drink alot of water to make sure it doesnt cause any obstructions in the intestine...best of luck

Thank you Sweet for the info on Flaxseed Oil. It sounds disgusting but then again with a name like sweet poision you probably would eat anything (Joke!) I think I will give the Omega 3 EPS a try first because I'm a big baby about taking medicine that tastes bad. I remember cod liver oil before it came in pills. Thanks again for the pointers.
