OK, here are my thoughts on this mystery at this point. I’m very interested in the future of Omega-3 and w/d, so I really want to understand this. –
-- You are in very early w/d from *three* psych meds. All of your symptoms may just be due to this.
-- You are very sensitive to reproductive hormone changes and meds.
-- Part of what you’re describing sounds like w/d interacting with your menstrual cycle. I had mild-moderate PMS before w/d. But, in w/d, PMS became a misery and interacted with w/d.
-- Maybe 700 mg Omega-3 from pill per day is too much for you to start on. Yet, you say you are eating 2,600 mg from fish a few times a week???
-- Are you eating the pill oil without the casing?
-- Omega-3 *should* be good for stabilizing your hormones. But, the fact that it’s good for PMS and PND and estrogen dominance shows that it is effective. Therefore, it could mean that the dose you’re taking is having too much of an effect too fast for you.
-- Given that your menstrual cycle seems to be part of the picture, it might be worth staying on your current Omega dose for another two weeks and seeing if you are better when you are in a different part of your cycle. But, I am *totally* OK with you deciding to stop it now.
-- Another option is for you to go down to a lower dose of Omega and updose more slowly. Remember, when I was in earlier w/d, I was cautious and went up on my Omega using pills that only had 200 mg. I had no problem. Now, we can’t know if I could have tolerated a higher dose anyway. But, this is an option for you now or in the future.
-- I really believe you will able to reap the benefits of Omega-3, but you may need to start slower or wait a bit. And you may need less of it to get a benefit than, say, I do.
-- BTW – I never felt like two people until w/d and then I did, big time. Very weird experience.
