    OK, good for you for reading a little. Keep that up. It’s good for you to inform yourself, and not just take my word for things.

    You’ve been at your current dose for several months, right? At 1375 X 2 = 2750.

    There are people researching doses of 9,000 to 18,000 for various forms of neurological injury and for severe psychological problems.

    I am currently at 12,600.

    Generally, I would prefer that you go up by about 500 mg at a time, but your one teaspoon equals 1375. So, why don’t you add one teaspoon for a total of three teaspoons a day. I would spread it out and take one teaspoon at three separate times to give your body the best chance of tolerating it and utilizing it and keeping a steady supply available.

    Then, we wait at least two weeks, maybe more – and see what we see – benefits, or any side effects. Then, maybe you can go up again.

    What do you think?

    sounds great. i will do it. Yes a big problem since learning about brain injury in October is my inability to concentrate due to brain injury(plus made way worse by w/d). plus googleing is even worse. so my ability to research my own health problem is a big problem. i would love to be informed instead of just taking peoples word for things. so i guess doing small amounts is a good idea. What differences do you notice at higher doses and what are your neuro and psych problems. Thanks for your help

    Yes, you’re in a hard position, but it’s very good for you in so many ways to keep on doing little bits. It helps your brain heal, it's good for your self-esteem, and, of course, you want to determine your own life.

    I am taking the Omega-3 for w/d neuro damage, and I see improvement in my anxiety and depression, cognition, muscle health, poop, psi. Every time I have gone up over the years, I have gotten more benefit -- most noticeably in cognition.

    Here’s my story, which I have to update –

    http://antidepressantwithdrawal.info...nificent-woods

    I have some psych issues from before meds, but all my neurological issues are from meds / w/d – I don’t see how you can really distinguish between the effects of the meds and the effects of w/d from the meds.

    Psi is the best, new term to encompass all psychic phenomena and experiences.

    Well, my opinion is that these meds cause brain changes which are not beneficial, and I did have side effects on the meds – dry mouth, vivid dreams, weight gain, apathy, exhaustion. So, I would say, yes I had neurological symptoms on the meds.

    We already touched on this for your situation. It it not ideal for you to take the meds, but it may be the best course of action for you right now. And you *can* heal from their detrimental effects later.
