Dr. Sears,
Q: I recently purchased your book on omega-3's, and although I've gotten much relief from taking them in high dose (depression, anxiety, and ADD symptoms starting to subside), it appears I'm experiencing some intense side-effects, not discussed in your book. I have a hell of a time sleeping at night due to VERY intense dreaming, which is causing me to awake quite frequently. I've read that these intense dreams could be due to my brain being flooded with neurotransmitters, but I'd like to know if this will eventually go away. I've only been using your program for about 10 days, and I've cut the dosage down to just 1 tablespoon a day, over the past few days, though the dreaming still exists. Other than that, I've received tremendous benefits from your omega-3 Zone program (I'm losing weight too!) and commend you on your work in this area.
A: I would suggest taking the fish oil in the morning, especially with about 3-4 ounces of SeaHealth Plus. That should reduce waking during the night from dreams.
