Well, it's going to sound funny, but when I'm manic, one of the things I do is remember to take my vitamins and supplements (one of them being omega 3, 6, 9) because I usually start on some massive health drive.

It seems that a lot of mood stabilisers work in conjunction with antidepressants (the antidepressant lifts your mood, the stabiliser stops it moving into mania).

In my experience it doesn't work. Then again, perhaps my manias would have been worse without the fish oils. But, despite taking them my moods have been a rollercoaster for years.

So, I really would urge you to take the medicines that are prescribed for you. Take the fish oil additionally. It can't hurt.
