Choose one - better memory or better anxiety?

Medications
1

My omega 3 fish oil helps me with better memory recollection but it also causes severe palpitations. Without fish oil i cant recall most of the stuff from my head.

I cant take propranolol due to hypotension and worsening anxiety on it.

So would u prefer better memory or better anxiety ? Should i stop fish oil ?

i would choose better memory, i feel with the memory i will have less anxiety in general. Not get rid of it completely, but thats how i feel.

I can’t remember which one I chose, lol

I would opt for better memory, but that is probably because anxiety isn’t a huge issue for me. I’m lucky in this respect. My memory, however, gets a little scrambled every now and then. Drives me mad!

Dmg supplement reduces anxiety without affecting memory, energy etc.

I would choose less anxiety but that’s just me. I hate anxiety.

I would try switching to a different form of omega 3 and see if you still get the memory benefit without the anxiety. I went to Amazon and typed in vegan omega 3 and about a million came up. Here’s one that looks good, but you could go on there and read and pick anyone you want. Don’t give up! If I was having side effects from my fish oil I would find a way to keep taking the omega 3 for sure, I simply can’t live without the benefits to my memory, it’s too good.

I am tired of my anxiety so I would choose less anxiety too…

Update: I’m not sure if todays severe palpitations were caused by fish oil or not cuz i also started a antibiotic called amoxicillin for throat infection today. I just took 2nd dose of amoxicillin just now lets see if the palpitations start again or not. If it does not then my palpitations are caused by fish oil.

I will update soon about cause of palpitations

Well in general 1 fish oil does give me slight anxiety but im not sure about todays palpitations. I have been taking fish oil since 3-4 months and I can say one thing for certain if instead of 1 fish oil, i take 2 fish oils per day then i get severe crying like feeling and get very anxious.

Update 2: Ok, it turns out amoxicillin is causing my palpitations and not fish oil. My palpitations has started just now.
