> I wouldn't expect that you would notice much of an antidepressant effect after one dose. If you switch to fish body oil, and take at least 5 grams a day, it should take at least 2 months to provide enough DHA to restore the brain's store of this fatty acid (maybe much longer). You'll probably feel better before two months, but getting the nutrient reserves up will take longer.

Is anyone aware of how much fish oil one should take? I've seen many different recommendations, but some of them scare me. They are based on the amounts of DHA that should be ingested, thus requiring something like 12 to 16 pills of fish oil. Is anyone really doing this on a long term basis? If I did that, I'd never get off the toilet.
