I'm struggling with depression all my life. I'm 47 now, The last 2 years I couldn't find a relief, especially the last year. I had severe anxiety with akathisia every single day (pure nightmare), and the only thing could give me a temporary relief was Lorazepam but in long term my anxiety, depression got worse, I had no appetite, and I was weighting 55 kilos and 183cm height. I had suicide thoughts and severe brain fog. Antidepressants stop working, and I've tried every medicine and supplements out there. Blood tests were fine, but I didn't test my Omega 3's. I decide to stop Lorazepam and felt a little better than I start taking 1750mg EPA/DHA and eating 2 eggs in the morning. In 15-20 days my anxiety gone, and my severe depression almost diminished, my SSRIs start working again and I feel great. Omega 3 are essential and will keep taking them now along with Vitamin D and other. Don't ever lose hope, you have to be a doctor of yourself and try to find what your body needed. Believe in your self and believe that you can cure from this disease. I pray for all people who struggling.

@@jayros4269 sorry this is a long answer so I’ll front load it with the answer to your question- about 4 or 5 days. I watched a video similar to the one above about omega 3s and depression. I started adding two heaping tablespoons of ground flax to my diet everyday. It was a only a few days after that that I noticed a significant change (woke up in a good mood and then had energy to get stuff done). I switched to fish oil because ground flax is hard to eat everyday- it’s super gritty. I’ve been reading about it and binge watching videos about it and it sounds like it doesn’t work for everyone or every kind of depression so I don’t want to give false hope to people but it *definitely* works for some. For me, I didn’t feel any difference at all for the first few days and then on like the 4rth or 5th morning I just woke up… different. I hope it works for you.

Don't do a megamix yourself, ask a MD or a specialist doctor, all neurotransmission inhibitors must be stopped PROGRESSIVELY and SLOWLY while Omega 3 cans be increased slowly too. Also Omega 3 and other fatty acids tend to do also blood thinning and lower arterial pressure; so it can render low dose aspirin useless. But all that must be performed carefully and checked with blood tests along the way. hypnotics and anti depressant are chemical drugs with addictive side effects, so slowing down must be very slow, to avoid any withdrawal effect. Natural products are always better than pure chemical, but sometimes when natural is not enough, you may have no choice but to use chemical. Each person is different, unique. So things must be tested slowly, carefully, assessed, and blood checked.

Just make sure you take it with a meal or snack that has some fat, it improves absorption a lot in comparison to no food/low fat meal/snack. It’s been studied. Also try to take it as early as possible as there’s some evidence it may hinder the ability to fall asleep if taken later in the day.

For a minute there I thought you were asking can the fish take Klonopin? They would certainly swim a bit funny on a decent dose!!! Dianne I take both without any problems and my consultant knows I take both. However I’m cutting down the Klonopin as it rarely helps and often makes me impulsive, act out of character and disinhibition comes out a little, perhaps some aggression feelings too. it can happen with benzodiazepine’s and I’ve had it first hand and demonstrated it to myself over and over so that’s why it has to be really needed to take it as I know over 1mg I get cranky. I’ve decided to up the fish oil and fresh spirulina daily and drop the benzos. I’m not making any long term benefit at all from them and maybe they are interfering with my anti depressant effects?

This video is the first I’ve seen (of many) to suggest that the more you take, the better. All the other research that I’ve seen indicated that there was a “therapeutic window” of around 1,000 mgs EPA, daily. Taking twice that appeared to reduce effectiveness, as did taking 3 or 4 times that. Incidentally, 18 grams would be around 36 pills a day; I’m really happy with just the 2 pills daily and the difference is undeniable. Night and day. It’s about $16 or $17 for a bottle and every few months our grocery store has a bogo sale. Especially ask your doctor if you’re on any blood thinners or have any issues with your blood’s ability to clot. I really recommend trying it if you’re interested. I used to have panic attacks, anxiety, and not be able to get anything done. It’s not a magic cure but if I was at a constant 8 (of anxiety/depression) before, now I’m at a 3. Doing my dishes, getting the mail, talking to people, not avoiding my family... all weird but welcome changes. It’s been a little over a year on them and I felt the difference after only a few days. They absorb best when you take them with something with fat in it, like whole milk yogurt or avocado or... whatever you like that’s fatty. Don’t take 18 grams 😂❤️
