> I hear ya. Did you try other fish oil supplements? What about ones with higher DHA like Cod liver oil?
I think I tried a couple of (high quality) brands of fish oil. I also tried krill and had a similar response SE-wise, though it wasn't quite as bad. My plan was to try just taking it once or twice a week, but I keep forgetting. (I do like the idea of taking krill since it also contains PS.) Maybe I need one of those weekly pill holders. I worry about getting too much vitamin A from cod liver.
I hope this is not getting too off topic, but do you have any opinion about essential fatty acid testing? I don't know how useful it is (something I've been meaning to look into), but it would be nice to get an idea of what my individual needs are since the typical recommendations don't seem to suit me.
By the way, going back to the OP, I take rhodiola daily and find it helpful for energy, motivation, and mood, although (for me) there have been diminishing returns with it. The benefits were quite noticeable when I started it a few months ago and have waned over time. An increase might be in order.
