I’ve read about the different benefits of Omega 3 supplements at different times, and it appears that a lot of people on this forum may already be taking it. I started taking it for health reasons, but I just read that it can help with depression, memory loss, and other symptoms some people diagnosed with schizophrenia may be experiencing. I know it’s expensive to buy over the counter, but I got a prescription from my doctor, and now it’s free or cheap ($3.30) to refill. It probably depends on your insurance, I’m receiving both Medi-cal and Medicare from being on SSI, so the Medicare insurance I chose takes care of it what they charge for refills depends on the current policies. Just thought this info might be helpful.

Yeah it’s a decent thing to take.
My shrink put me onto them because of a study done in Australia that showed some decent increases with ADHD people taking omega 3 supplements. I am going to get back on them…just came off them because I developed gout but am going to give them another go.
There are some other studies that show decent stuff with the mentally ill so it’s worth a shot!
My physical doctor swears by the help Omega-3 can give your heart. I had a very good checkup last time, and my doctors says it was the Omega-3 that did it. I found the best place to buy Omega-3 for me was at Wal Mart. I got two 200 pill bottles for roughly twenty dollars. Taking two pills a day, that comes out to around ten cents a pill. The pills are 1200 mg per pill, with 360 mg Omega-3. They recommend taking two pills a day.
My pdoc recommended fish oil for me and I think that has omega 3 in it? Does it?

Took it because I’ve read a lot about it. gotta be consistent tho, I take it on a fixed time everyday after a meal.
There is a lot of research about it, just check this out : http://schizophrenia.com/?page_id=719
Supplements never seem to work on me it’s so irritating. Maybe it’s cause I believe that they not that they don’t. Hmmm who knows
I really should take mine. I’ve heard good stuff too. I have suppliments now. I’m just so bad at taking them. But I researched this before I bought the omega 3 and yeah it has all sorts of benefits.

I take them because I’m at high risk for psychosis, you should take the ones with high doses of EPA & DHA.
