Hi noa,
Well before I get to the liquid fish oil I gotta ask - you said you were once up "much" higher on EffexorXR - HOW MUCH HIGHER? I've heard that over 300mg/day can give a person high blood pressure. I do know someone at 300 mg/day who's doing great on it.
Okay, so fish oil is available in LIQUID form - wow, and duh on me I had NO IDEA! This is promising news because it was those darn gelcaps that repeated on me and made me stop taking it.
Sounds like you are getting a good/decent, heck more than decent dosage in with those swigs.
Does it have to be REFRIGERATED? Something tells me it does. Just guessing.
I will have to see if Carlson's or any other brand is available where I live - fish oil is good for depression, right?
My pdoc also supports supplements AND as we go through the "streamlining" process (getting me off some of the many meds I'm on) he is going to have me try a NATURAL THYROID SUPPLEMENT a patient of his told him about who has had good results with it!
What is Cytomel and how is it different than Synthroid? I forget which one Synthroid is - T3 or T4, so I'm betting that whichever it is, that Cytomel may be the other one?
Glad to hear that getting your thyroid condition under control with two meds that have excellent reputations has helped you so much!
