I couldn't stand taking all those pills.....& as for the 10,000mg....there is no point in taking more than the amount that works....it's like throwing it away if you do that & you are right....at the cost of suppliments...it's just plain stupid to take more than the doseage that works.

OMEGA 3 includes EPA & DHA.....each help aspects of depression & anxiety....I know that 2000mg of EPA is the dosage that works for depression.....so anything over that would just be throwing it away. I think if I remember what my pdoc said, the DHA works best on anxiety & that takes a dose of around 800mg per day for that to be effective. There are other OMEGA 3's that aren't the EPA & DHA....so if the omega 3 doesn't have those.....it isn't going to do any good either.

There are only a few & they are the expensive brands, but they end up not being that expensive because they contain the higher dosage, so you don't have to take as many. I only have to take 2 capsules a day & I get the 2000mg that is required for the depression....so it isn't as expensive as the brands that I would have to take 10 pills a day to get the dosage.

That is what you have to look at when you are in charge of determining your suppliments unless you have a Dr that does the thinking for you & can tell you exactly what to take.

Don't know if you are taking any other meds, but there can be problems with interreactions between natural supplements & prescribed meds.....so it is important to tell your Dr about all the suppliments you are on besides any prescribed meds. Suppliments can have interactions between themselves also.....so you need to be careful about that too.

Do your research before putting pills down your throat.....bad reactions take a long time to overcome & can leave you with some nasty side effects (even the non prescribed ones)
