    I tried it twice before and it upset my stomach but you may be different. I have heard it's good for anxiety and even muscle cramps. Maybe you can find a coated med etc. All I can say for sure is be careful about over the counter drugs unless you ask a doctor.

    Hi Sara----Haven't heard that one about omega3.  Who knows maybe.  I would check it out on line or go to a "health or natural food" store.  Let us know.

    Thanks for replying. I didn't want to use medicine to avoid addiction.I thought it's natural and won't do any harm but from your replies I see it may.There are bunch of articles about its positive effects but I wanted to learn about it from your personal experience. However,I will try it and let you know if it works.
