Yes, I've been taking a high dose of fish oil with Omega 3s alongside my antidepressants for well over 10 years.

I find they help quite alot. They seem to give me more energy and I find I am able to concentrate more.

you can use flax seed oil... or even hemp seed oil from your supermarket. The latter is especially good for you.

Hi Heidi,

Like always anything that involves medication I would urge you to speak to a GP. I think fish oils and SSRI's are ok and should not cause too much of a problem, but I think I once read that fish oils cause a minor blood thinning, could that be made worse by SSRI's (I may be wrong on that though)? I am not sure, so whilst I suspect it is ok, I would call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or speak to your GP just to double check.

i ate some great smoked haddock recently (full of fish oils) and it goes well with scrambled egg on toast

(sorry to any vegans...)

not as full of omega capsulses though, that can interact with ssris, ( full of fish oils isnt actually correct, its full of one fish oil. ) so yep speak to a professional if you

are thinking of taking any meds. whilst on a prescribed medication.

i thought smoked haddock and scrambled eggs was much more scientific

helps mental well being as well.
