as my handle would say omega 3 has allowed me to recover from problems from hell...
I was taking up to 7 daily..I got neuralgia..partial paralysis on my face and my bones seem brittle...other effects like when the light are out my vision sees heat waves .. I do have psychic aura ability..but I don't know if i'm actually seeing the waves as oil running round the V(1 -8) visual regions ...
I sometimes get disorientiated as the oil goes thru my brain..but If I take three before sleep..I feel so much more space in my head the next day...I could almost remember what it feels like to just take in what people say..and think about it ..instead of outputting like a crazy/creative way...
In fact I just took two three minutes ago...and i'm becoming more visually and spatially open and less busy in my head...

I took strong doses of omega-3 and flaxseed oil for about 3 weeks.
The results were profound. It induced intense dreams, a bit of fatigue
after a while, fixed joint pains/Reynaud's, less anxiety, better mood
....and ultimately lead to the onset of a permanent facial neuralgiaI had previously triggered the facial neuralgia with other anti-depressants,
but it would subside after discontinuing the AD.After the oils, the neuralgia was permanent.
I don't know what happened. I *think* at strong doses the
oils can cause lipid peroxidation and free radical??? Someone
correct me if I am wrong. It may be wise to take anti-oxidants
with the oils (like vitamin E).I believe omega-3/flax oil can be very healthy and have
a profound effect on the body in general.Take Care,
JX2

There's another thread titled "My Pdoc recommended Omega 3" that I hope gets cross-correlated or integrated soon with this one. I'm shocked to read about facial paralysis in these two posts here. Quite frankly, I have a hard time believing fish oil can cause a muscular paralysis ~ although the age-old "anything in excess" cliche comes to mind.
How much are you taking? "7 daily" of what mg?
In any case, I sure hope you're feeling better today!LW

Its a heavy price...but I found that if I take them to sleep on.. I get no problems...and feel great the next day...
I think its an electrical type brain problem...causing mild stroke type fx..when having to deal with events in the day..I think the different regions of the brain sometimes needed to process a different physical or mental problem...oush the oil to circulate too much in one region..thats how it feels...like its going round one side of the brain..an face control seems to go....
as long as my brittle back goes...if that is the omega 3 I will have to reconsider..ruining the structure of my body is quite a high price when basically i'm now using omega 3 to help develop my strategies and how I look at life...its a real IQ straightrocket...
thats up to 7 pills at 180mg EPA 120mg DHA....
the smoothest drug you will ever try..like clear heaven..no rage..no fog...no bright ...bright..
just like having a new brain...

I find it hard to believe that these symptoms are due to omega-3.Our ancestors lived in the sea and 20% of the brain is omega-3 fatty acid or fish oil

I only notice the symptoms with omega 3 and someone else here has the same problem..
It does'nt really matter whether our brain is made of this stuff..or should be...if our diet has'nt given us the right fat and our brains have developed on the harder fats from processed food..then that explains the neural feedback related problems like Schizophrenia that are so well cured with omega 3...
To me the paralysis seems to come hand in hand with the feeling of peace when the omega 3 hits...its actually quite stressfull to feed the brain that stuff..in that its getting what it needs and has to process that while still having to deal with reality..
that is to say I notice that I get the greatest and most profound benefit if I take two before sleep and no paralysis...i just wake up feeling fresh and my brain feels rock hard and not jarred by noises...i'm less irratable and able to deal with so much more...I screen stuff out less and have greater ability do deal with things..I feel almost 13 again !!
I would say that not taking them before sleep renders me half as effective for dealing with events and being aware and sensitive to my environment in daytime.
