Has anyone experienced negative side effects from taking Fish oil?
Thoughts, anxiety levels, fear increased/worsened?
I was on high EPA for ADD and anxiety (Nordiac Naturals brand) taking over 1000 of EPA and over 250 of DHA, and it worsened my symptoms (besides the ADD ..that helped a bit) to a scary level...and it caused insomnia
I also read that fish oil (and I'm not sure about dosage) does increase testosterone!!!... so I'm thinking the fish oil played with my hormones which played with my neurotransmitters ...I'm usually on the emotional side (personality) but never to the point where my feelings get hurt easily and that's where i was...been off of it for 3 days and my symptoms are getting better, I'm coming back to "reality" :-)
Posting to help others stay alert of "natural" therapies ..they are powerful, and also wondering if anyone experience something similar on fish oil.
