I take three Lovaza capsules - two in the morning and one at night. I have been noticing a decrease in my senses of taste and smell. Is this a side-effect of taking Lovaza?

Hello,
A common side effect of this medicatiion is taste changes, now the list of possible side effects does not mention anything about smell changes, but my personal opinion is that it is related.
I find this very strange as I also take omega 3, and take 5 capsules a day and I have been taking them for years (well we all react differently to medications and in this case supplements). Perhaps you need to take less 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, or stop to see if you get your senses back.
