I've decided to give fish oil another trial for my adhd syntoms before going back to the meds route. The last time fish oil made me hypomaniac and therefore this time I bought a refined a concentrated version. I have found this on the site of Ed o'Flaherty: "Tinnitus or buzzing in the ears may disappear as may dizzy spells or Meniere`s Disease". I'm having tinnitus and buzzing, it's not so boring, but I was wondering if someone else had experienced it, if it goes away, and if somebody knows why they happen. Thanks !

Its not cod oil is it? That'll give you a vitamin overdose of A or whatever else is in it.
I think the good stuff comes from salmon, but I'm not absolutely certain.
I use the Omega 3 from Member's Mark which is sold at Sam's Wholesale Club. I posted a link awhile back to a webpage that had done testing on many differant brands of Omega 3, and their results showed this was one of the ones that passed their test.
Anyway, what brand are you using? It may have impurities. It may be mixed up in someone's basement, and their cats sneak down there and do bad things to the mixture when they aren't looking. Cats do things like that, you know. Always up to no good, being the most evil creatures on the planet and all(next to some humans of course, who are probably cats in disguise).

Thanks for answering Wolf Dreamer. I'm using Enerzona, an italian brand sponsored by Barry Sears (ratio epa/dha 2:1). The first time I tried fish oil was a 'no brand' quality (made by my pharmacist) and it made me hypomaniac. This time I bought a controlled brand because I wanted to know if something would have changed. Also this kind of fish oil made me hpyo, but this time I can't say for sure it's the only culprit because yesterday I had skipped my Trileptal dose (and this could have contributed causing me a mini withdrawal crisis). I felt overstimulated and when I remember to take the Trilpetal the ovestimulation passed.
I'm interested in fish oil because of Adhd. I would like to know if there are people who had success with it for Adhd and at what dosage. Barry Sears made a successfull experiment with children giving them 10 g of fish oil per day but I would be more interested in direct experiences.
Moreover I would like to know if there other people who get the hypo feeling of fish oil, which are the possible explainations for it and if someone managed to solve this side-effect or if it fades with time. I have to add that I've never had a manic or hypomaniac crisis not dued to meds assuntion or withdrawal. Thanks to everyone

If you take it with other things, does your body manage to absorb all of it at the same time?
Thats what I was worried about this morning when I skipped mine thinking to take it later in the day, not at the same time as everything else. Of course, maybe everything else is canceling each other out... rather frustrating really...
Back when I was in elementry school, every half hour or so they'd give us a break for recess, to let the children now labeled as hyperactive have a chance to run around and wear them themselves out, since otherwise they'd become too distracted in class.
Of course classes are all very boring, and useless, and if you forget 99% of the crap they teach you in school anyway, it is just a total waste of time.
This is the end of the thread.
