I’ve been taking 3mg of Risperdal and 1, 1000 mg of Omega 3 Fish Oil instead of 6mg of Risperdal over the past week and I haven’t felt this good in a very long time. Its weird because i don’t know if its this combo or if im just in the waning period again of this disease. It’s odd but I’m very excited about it. Haven’t been productive in months and I painted, drew, and twisted my hair already this week. i’ve been writing a lot on sz.com too. I could hardly put a sentence together over the past few months and have been so unmotivated and just mentally exhausted. Is Omega 3 Fish Oil a miracle vitamen?

It takes about 3 months for fish oil to take effect. I once had my med dosage dropped and there was a honeymoon period like you described, but I eventually went psychotic. I’m on new meds now, and have been on epa (vegepa brand) fishoil for about 6 months. I’d like to see if I can drop the dosage of my new meds, but won’t be fooled by the initial honeymoon period again.
Well I have no idea 
But I do agree about the honeymoon period of dropping meds like when I switched to Seroquel for many months!
No one knows what the causes or what the real subtypes of schizophrenia are, but I don’t think omega 3 is a magic bullet.
I’ve been taking if for about 4-5 years with my Zyprexa.
I was put on Omega 3 fish oil for my heart. When they took me off of it I was out of sorts in several ways. I went to Wal Mart and bought my own fish oil, and now I am back to normal.
