Fish oil/Omega 3 causing a lot of anxiety/agitation?!
Question: Fish oil/Omega 3 causing a lot of anxiety/agitation!?
I've been taking OmegaRX Factors fish oil (400 EPA 200 DHA) and the first 8 or so days were fine, but then suddenly I developed this extreme anxiety/agitation where I felt like I was short of breathe/ it was harder to breathe, I felt very uncomfortably aware of my surroundings (like hyper awareness), and I felt unable to sit still!. I also felt like my emotions were blunted, and it was like I really had to make an effort to smile or show emotion!. I also think I felt more depressed (obviously because of these symptoms)!.
Anyone have any idea why this happened!? I've stopped and started multiple times and it happens every time!. I also developed headaches and my head was pounding slightly!. Oh and my heart would pound faster and I would feel more intensely the feelings of anxiety/terror (because of my heightened awareness of my feelings)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I am unaware of any such side effect!. You may wish to check out "krill oil" in the searchbar, at http://www!.mercola!.com (stated to be superior to Omega 3 fish oil, but only if from a reputable supplier; some are less than acceptable in quality)!. My general advice appears below:
Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice!. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it!. ~~~
Anxiety is addressed in section 6, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris See page N first!. I expect that the 2 things are unrelated, but there is always the possibility of a bad batch, or that equipment was used which had recently processed something to which you have an allergy!.
The alternative is oily, coldwater fish, but check them out first at http://www!.gotmercury!.orgWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think you are having a psychosomatic reaction, just stop taking the fish oil!. Read you questions, you are also taking Paxil, is that not for depression!.
You really should talk with your therapist about these matters, or the one that prescribed the Paxil for you!.
You will fine no resolution here on Y/A!.
