I am in the same situation. My daughter has recently been diagnosed. So far no meds have worked (we haven’t tried adderal yet). But I saw an article about the fish oil and went for it. I found a smaller version of a pill called Children’s DHA by Nordic Naturals. I found it at a natural foods store. It’s expensive and it has only 252 mg of total Omega-3’s. So I’ve been mixing the big pills (1/2 tsp fish oil wherever I can into her food (ketchup, tuna fish sandwiches, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). I’d like it more convenient but until I find it, that’s what I’m doing. Hope that helps some of you.

My son is 13 years old. In 4th grade he started having trouble with ADD. The doctor put him on Adderall. After much prayer and research of the benefits of fish oil, I took him off Adderal. I then started giving him 5 fish oil pills and a multivitamin bought at GNC per day. It has been 4 years and he is doing great on his fish oil and vitamins. I have told my husband many times that I think add is a vitamin defiency and I believe this to be true. There are so many benefits of fish oil for your whole family. Research your self.

I was diagnosed with Lupus. After I let the doctors have a blast pumping me full of medicine that really did nothing for me, I got off all the prescription medication and started taking fish oil and other vitamins. That was 25 years ago and I have never had a flare up. My blood work is a mess and drives the doctors nuts, but I feel great.

Hi Dr. Kilpatrick,

I recently read an article about fish oil helping people with ADHD. My son Nick is 11 years old. We started him on medicine in first grade. He has tried several meds but the effects have been more negative than positive so we decided to take him off the medicine. He has done alright in third and forth grade but attention is still very much a problem. I would like to help him any way I can and since Fish Oil is good for you, I figured this is definitely worth a try.

Could you tell me what the correct dosage would be for him? He is 5 feet tall and 85 pounds.

I appreciate your time. Thanks very much.

This is peculiar. You cannot diagnose dyslexia at age 3. There is something wrong with those statements.

Has taking fish oil helped anyone’s lithium-induced acne??

I’ve been on Lithium to treat my bipolar disorder for the past few years, and I have developed pretty bad acne. I have tried everything to cure the acne, even my dermatologist couldn’t help. I have been taking omegabrite fish oil pills for the past few years but only 1.5 grams a day. After reading this article, I am considering increasing my dose to treat the acne. I am concerned about side effects of taking too much fish oil and am also not sure how much to take.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
