razzleberry, i was introduce to omega-3 in my last stay in the mental hosp. they told me that it helps the medication to penetrate the fat cells and this will help in the body to absorb your medication more effectively. i was told the cheaper the better, but i buy my drug store brand and it has a lemon flavor to keep it from smelling fishy. whether this helps or not, i still get depressed but my lipids and cholesteral is way down, so i will keep taking it for that reason only. ..........pj56.........xxoo
