In reply to fish oil - do side-effects pass?, posted by g_g_g_unit on October 5, 2011, at 7:40:56
The fish oil purportedly acts like a mood stabilizer if you are experiencing a lot of mania, but usually the dosages are high for mania. I haven't found that fish oil causes me any anxiety, just the opposite in fact. Perhaps you don't tolerate it well or you are taking too much. You might try a low dosage instead, say 1,000-2,000mg per day and see if that helps. Some people cannot tolerate large dosages of fish oil for whatever reason. Fish oil has mainly been studied for bipolar disorder when mania is present.
