"It was suggested that I supplement my diet with fish oil. I don't remember if it was for my high blood pressure or arthritis, but she was a nurse, and I said yes. Three weeks later, my stomach will not settle. Everything I eat makes me feel 'too full', gassy, and nauseous, and there is nothing but (please pardon me) liquid for stools. As of today, I am discontinuing use to see if that is my problem. I hope this helps someone suffering in the same manner I am."

"Read all the reviews, but decided to try these out anyway. Boy oh boy big mistake within the hour I was having severe stomach pains and diarrhea it was awful. Do not take these pills try something else."

"I have to take flax seed oil instead of fish oils. I know it sounds weird, and I've never heard of it, but fish oil capsules cause bright blue splotches on my skin! I don't mean the dark bluish bruise color, but bright. No, I'm not allergic to shell fish, don't have a bleeding problem or on blood thinners, my cholesterol numbers are great, I don't bruise easily, was on no medications at the time I tried it, my sugar level runs about 79-80 normally, and I have a good diet free of processed or refined foods-no pop, rarely any fried food, sugars except naturally occurring."

"I see a lot of negative reviews. I'm going to give a positive one. I suffer from anxiety and bipolar depression. I take Lamictal and propranolol. I've been on a supplement journey for years now. I had read that omega complex helps with anxiety and depression symptoms. I just started taking omega complex (3,000 mg QD) for a couple of weeks now, and I love it. I've definitely noticed a change in my mood, energy, and it has helped my brain fog tremendously. Omega complex obviously isn't for everyone, but I'm glad I started taking it. ❤️"

"I have severe neuropathy and my Dr prescribed gabapentin. In 3 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 and he told I had blockages he told me I could try fish oil but I would have to take a lot. He had look on his face which didn't seem too convinced or so I thought. I asked him about how much. He told me 10000 a day. I figured I try it. Since my pain was severe I'd try anything. I wish I hadn't. 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."

"This reduced triglycerides big time. Four fish oil pills per day caused digestive issues, but two a day still bring down triglycerides. Nature Made brand worked as well as pharma fish oil."
