In reply to What meds help with HYPOMANIA?, posted by Janelle on June 25, 2001, at 22:36:40
To repeat post on another thread: my very reliable pdoc has just put me on an Omega-3 regimen for Bipolar II he says is effective in about 75% of his cases, and does no harm in the rest!
BUT, the ratio of EPA to DHA must be 2 to 1, which is apparently hard to find. .. avail. online at omegabrite.com, maybe elsewhere.
Week 1 = 4 caps 2x day
Week 2 = 5 " "
Week 3 = 6 " "
with results normally showing btwn. week 2 and 3.Effective dose range is btwn. 2.5 to 6 gms EPA daily.
The EPA is also an antidepressant.
I'm just starting, let me know results if anyone else tries!Good Luck,
Zo
