I was given this info when I went to the herbal clinic as an alternative to antidepressants, apparently according to research there is evidence that shows that sufferers of depression can benefit a great deal from taking EPA
VegEPA is basically Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and there is a list of things that this could help including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and depression
Have you heard of it, have you tried it, do you know anyone who has?
It also up to the discretion of your GP as to whether they can prescribe it
Well that rules out my GP then, knowing her she'll say NO, C*W.

You are too funny ... perhaps you should get a new GP if they are not willing to give you something that will help your depression ... just a thought my friend.

So glad to hear it, I know she has caused you alot of pain the past few weeks it will be good to get with someone else, someone new, to re-evaluate your medical health and get you back on track, hopefully this one will be better fit for you and that you won't have to worry about what you say. Good Luck!

I've not heard of this, but I am interested in knowing more. I may run a search or two when I'm done watching the debate, but I'd love to hear from some folks who have done this first hand and if they have been helped.
Thanks for sharing, Wolfie.

hm, never heard of this. Although it is interesting and will have to look it up. Good for taking an initiative in your health. I would find a new GP if or one who will prescribe it for you. If you think it will help you I say go for it! Do some more research weigh out the side effects from the good it will do and if you feel strongly about it take action. Its your health and your body, do whats right for you! Good Luck!

I never have heard of this my friend. The only thing I know is Zantac pills which even though the doc gave me long time ago I never touched with a barge pole. I only take Kalms which are herbal pills to chill as I have too much on my plate and they keep me sane lol. I drink loads of gunky Chinese herbal teas and go for the odd bar of chocolate when I am pulling my hair out lol. Other than that my Friend I have never heard of it lol.
