Welcome to PBabble. I'm glad you posted. It can take a while to figure out how to get connected but it's great that you're joining the community.
It is my understanding, and I'm sure others are more knowledgeble about this, that Omega 3's can be stimulating. That sounds like what you suspect and I suspect you're right.
Were you having trouble with the insomnia before the Omega 3 experiment? The one thing that I have found puts me to sleep and keeps me asleep is Remeron. I have no idea what it's effect would be on you. I have unipolar depression and bipolar depression is a different animal. But if the insomnia has been a problem separate from the Omega 3s, you might ask your pdoc about how it would fit with your symptoms and current meds. Losing sleep is awful. I sympathize and think you are doing the right thing to stop the oil until you are clearer about it's effect on you.
Hope your sleeping soundly as I write this.
Take care and keep us posted.Zana
