Fish Oil

I was instructed by my doctor to take a cholesterol lowering drug, while taking this medication I started to have memory problems, which could be attributed to many different things, such as other medications, my own physical condition etc. I take a vitamin, supplements and other heart medications as well. I had been taking 2 fish oil
Gels 1200 mg a day, but stopped taking them shortly after starting the cholesterol drug to save cash and reduce the number of pills I take daily. I did not take the fish oil tablets for about 60 days and I continued to struggle with forgetfulness, not be able to remember a word etc. I finally decided to start taking 2 fish oil gels a day and after 30 or so I noticed that while working and typing I was not having trouble with words and that my forgetfulness was almost non existent. Most literature and the fish oil instructions on my product say to take four capsules a day, however just by taking 2 1200 mg capsules daily seems to be helping me. This was by no means a scientific study and I do not want to test this again by stopping the fish oil capsules, my memory is good and I fell great so I’ve decide to leave well enough alone.
