I have been taking about 8 grams of salmon oil a day, sometimes more, yielding about 2.5 grams of EPA and DHA. I think I have been feeling better since increasing the dose. But I have been having some health issues lately, specifically thyroid issues, so I am not feeling that great and it is hard to tell how much the increase in fish oil is helping. I do not think it is hurting me in anyway. I will need another month or two of experimenting with high doses to see if I am really benefitting. I also will probably switch to Carlson's Fish Oil because I will not need to take as many capsules to get withing the 2 to 3 gram range of EPA and DHA.
I think it is always worth taking a shot at experimenting with high dose fish oil. If you don't notice a difference or if you feel worse you can always go back to a lower dose. Even if we don't get a noticeable mood boost from fish oil, I think we should all be taking it for several reasons-cholesterol, heart health, brain health, and joint health.
