For ADHD "I began with flu-like symptoms a few days after starting. Same with my son. I thought it was a coincidence. Then I restarted several weeks later with the same effect. This was a very long, lingering illness each time."

For Dietary Supplementation "For the reviewer who had this experience: thought I had pancreatitis. Stomach acid high, no ulcer. Now, I have a liver cyst. Read side effects before taking. I had the exact same experience with pancreatitis before taking the fish oil. The liver cyst and high alkaline acids were a metastasis of breast cancer that spread to the liver. I'm not suggesting you have cancer, but the other symptoms were present before the oil. Perhaps your liver test was a matter of bad timing, because they should have tested it as soon as you had a pancreatitis attack and performed an MRI/ultrasound."

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for Dietary Supplementation "I have severe neuropathy, and my doctor prescribed gabapentin. In three months, I gained 30 lbs, and it really didn't do anything for my pain. So, when I went to my cardiologist and told him about my weight gain, he told me it was the gabapentin. He instructed me to wean off of them. Then, as I was talking about the pain, he told me I had blockages. He told me I could try fish oil, but I would have to take a lot. He had a look on his face which didn't seem too convinced, or so I thought. I asked him about how much. He told me 10,000 a day. I figured I'd try it. Since my pain was severe, I'd try anything. I wish I hadn't. I took it for two weeks, and every time I sweat from anywhere, there is a foul fish odor. It's been about a year. It's finally starting to decrease, but only by about half. My next hope is activated charcoal to see if it can help. I hadn't been willing to try it because of my medications. So now spring is here, and I can get off of some of my pain medications. The cold weather makes it worse."

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids "Took proper dosage, then had problems of extreme difficulty in urinating. Two months ago, I had a procedure that really helped in that department. Now this, on the first night I’ve taken it? I wonder what’s in it besides the listed ingredients."

For ADHD "I have been utilizing Omega-3 for a month. In any case, I have not found if this is making me feel any different or not. Have not seen any changes or felt anything to know whether it is working or not. This may be a little premature. I took one dose daily after supper without any issues. Took in the morning daily after oatmeal - then around 30 minutes later had a (small, elegant) burp... fishy. Presently, it wasn't about as bad as different brands that I have used where I really wanted to toss the full jug out. In any case, it was still fishy - not lemony - but it dissipated rapidly, which was nice. Before it, I had also used Cerebraultra. I find them more beneficial except for Omega-3."

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for Hypertriglyceridemia "Lovaza IV. I've been taking it for about 2 months now, I have not had a new blood test yet to see if it is lowering my high triglycerides yet. Side effects I have are the fish taste, but I also noticed my taste just isn't right, not sure if this pill is causing it. But hoping my next blood tests show some good news. One thing I do know is that I would not ever take Lipitor again or any prescribed statins, bad leg cramping, etc. Statins are not good for you. Side effects are terrible. Try natural instead, I use Nature Made (Cholestoff) 900 mg, 2 2x a day. Keeps your cholesterol at bay."
