Omega 3 for depression?
there is an add in this months HEALTH magazine for Omega 3 product by GNC its claims to be very effective for depression as well as the other heart and cardiovascular things it is used for.
I take Omega 3, B-complex, and calcium along with a multivitamin daily and yes they help me to feel much better.....give them a good 2 weeks to 1 month to get into your system to feel the full effects.

I love my Omega 3! I've been taking it for about a year now. I took it originally for depression, but there are so many other great benefits. There was a study with a hospital in Boston that was giving it to kids with ADHD and they claim they saw great results with it. I was sold and went on it and felt that it did make a difference. As Dodger said...it does take about a month to see some results. The good news is that while you are waiting for it to "kick" in for depression....it is doing your overall health good.

I give myself a B-12 shot once a week per my doctor's instruction. It helps with energy level and nervous agitation. I just heard that Omega 3's might help with anxiety and depression today. I watched Dr. Amen on TV (change your brain change your life). I am going to ask my doctor about it on Wednesday when I see him. I might add that to my vitamin regiment.

I heard of it and bought it and started to take it but than when i went to a health store the lady said i shouldn't take it because i am not premenopausal. So im like uh. . ok. I dodnt take it long enough to get results. I wasnt consistent with it. i wonder if it'd help me. I have a pretty sever case of PMDD

I take omega 3 and a sublingual liquid b complex with b12.I started about a week ago and I see a little improvment.The thing I like about the liquid b 12 you can take an extra dose when you need that little extra energy.I take one dose early in the morning before tai chi and it seems to be helping. I hope it works for you.
Hey Holly J , I just started taking fish oil (Omega 3) and B- Complex about a month ago. I feel so much better! The depression is gone and the mind racing has stopped, I still have some anxiety, not has bad. I am walking 30 min a day and three weeks ago I could not even get out of my bed. My B/P was also high 160/100 now it is 110/72 . Everyone ask what are you doing ? You look so much better I tell the fish oil! My sister is an Rn/NP. She thinks It’s the B-complex, now she takes B 12 shots. I found that it was to strong for me. Oh something else am a College Student I was having a hard time with reading and concentrating I was thinking I had ADD are something. Now my concentration is 100% better. I hope this helps. Susan
