I think its my imagination but when ever I start taking my fish oil, after a couple days I start to sleep really crappy and my anxiety starts getting worse.
then I will stop taking it and I feel better with in two or so days?
could it possibly have anything to do with the fish oil, really?
anyone else have this happen to them?

Hi.
It is more likely to be your anxiety that is causing you sleep problems but I may be wrong I would chat this through with your doctor or pharmacist to see what they say. I hope you get some good sleep soon as I also have sleep problems and know how badly lack of sleep can affect you.

Ive done alot of research on this for myself thinking of starting it&every where I read it has a good name,meaning fish oil is healthy omega 3 even seeing where it should help with the anxiety as well as B vitamins to like B 6 & B 12 so more then likely anxiety. When we start new things there is always the what ifs&most of all when we read side effects too,just let your doctor know what is going on and he/she will have the best doctor advice for you best of luck to you

I have never heard of this...
The only thing that I can think of is that you may have an allergy...either to the fish oil itself, or the suspension or additives in the capsules?
Have you tried switching brands?
I have heard that this is an area in which to splurge. In other words, going to a health food store or vitamin/suppliment shop...rather than grabbing the bargain brand.
I agree with Hibee...talk to your doctor for more insight.

Lainey I take three a day, depending on brand sometimes I can taste the fish oil, when I have a brand that
seems stronger I just take one less and the problem go's away, I don't know how much you take but if its
more than one maybe just cut back, hope you figure it out, Peace.
