I read that it has benefits for schizophrenia. I’m going to start taking it today to see if it improves any symptoms and I’ll update if I see anything positive.

I tried it for months (a high epa version) and it did nothing.
Then I tried a high strength general fish oil and it gave me high anxiety! So I stopped after a few days.

I take it and I also don’t see feel different. I think it’s also supposed to be good for depression too.

I take a fish oil capsule every morning. I just take it for overall brain health ( the DHA is supposed to help prevent dementia) but I never noticed a decline in my sz symptoms from it.

Not really. The amount you need to take to get the “benefits” will leave you trapped in the washroom with profound diarrhea. Fish also capture and store PCBs so never exceed 2 mg per day.

Yeah, there is a fish oil called “krill oil” that could be taken that should not have those contaminants in it. Krill are a really tiny fish that don’t live long enough to build up mercury or PCB’s in their bodies.

I’ve taken fish oil for 3 or 4 years. My GPs nurse gave it to me for high cholesterol, it didn’t help my high cholesterol but it does help my blepharitis (eye infections) I need the prescription omega 3 ethyl esters. The over the counter fish oil didn’t help.
I can’t tell that it helps with sz symptoms.
The only symptoms I had 6 years ago when I stopped taking zyprexa for 5 months were
Insomnia, agitation, confusion and muscle tension.

I’ve been taking fish oil for awhile now – mainly for the stuff it helps me with physically. I haven’t noticed it helping any with my sz

Yup. Not cheap and you also have to do battle with Moby to harvest the krill.

When I eat salmon I always feel cleaner and clearer when it’s got a lot of fat in it. It’s weird

I took the first 1000 mg capsule at 9 am, 3 hours ago. I notice improvements in my mood, and I feel more calm mentally. With fewer invasive thoughts. But this is surely a placebo effect, or is it because of the mate cocido I drank before taking the omega 3 capsule.

I eat mackerel, tuna or cod a couple of times a week and that’s more than enough
The fish oil tablets caused me depression and made me ill.
Better eating a balanced diet to see true results

I took fish oil for awhile…did nothing but cost money. I do buy big gallons of salmon oil at the feed store for my dog, it really helps keep her eyes and coat shiny in the winter!
