"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."

"I have to take flaxseed 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 shellfish, 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. ❤️"

"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 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."

"It made me really sick. I took it for months before I realized it was the fish oil causing my symptoms."

"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."
