I have 1200 mg each fish oil soft gel tablets.
My questions: Will it interact with Seroquel or Lamictal? Also, how much is the maximum dose of omega-3 that you're supposed to have? I am new to fish oil as a supplement. Boy do they stink :P lol! Anyhow comments/suggestions?

my suggestion: try biting into one and savor the sweet, sweet taste.

I'm smiling right now at your question "maximum dose." I was on FOURTEEN of those suckers A DAY for a few years. I've been on Lamictal forever and had no problems taking both.

There's no interaction between fish oil and meds. I take 6 of the 1200-mg caps a day and that gets me into the recommended therapeutic range. Oh, after you bite into a fish oil capsule let a lithium capsule dissolve in your mouth...NOT!

To both of you who poked fun at my post, I am in NO mood for Jokes! I just want suggestions, if you can't give me a nice sympathetic suggestion without all the jokes, please don't. Thanks
BipolarPrincess
To clarify who I thought poked fun, Unh, If I wanted to here Bullshit, I'd talk to my husband. K thanks bye. To Tommy, I am not that dumb! Besides, I don't take lithium. Suggestions only please, no jokes. I am far from a joking mood.

Bump...for more gentle replies?

BP, I don't know a thing about fish oil, but I'm sorry you've been feeling bad. Hope you can get an answer to this...
BipolarPrincess
Thanks for the information blarg. That's what I needed. I am not going to take 19. I am cautious like that. I will probably just end up taking 2400 mgs

I have been taking fish oil for about 4 months, 3 times a day. I see a huge differance in my mood. But it just seems to simple.
deleted_user
What's up with fish oil? Where does it come from? Besides the obvious. Does it help make you feel better or something?
BipolarPrincess
I have no idea. No, I haven't talked to my doc, but I am going to soon. Thanks for all the laughs.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
