Tapering off of antidepressants should be done only in close consultation with your physician. Side effects of withdrawal can include anxiety, agitation, shaking, and tingling or electric shock-like feelings. As well as sweating, nausea, vomiting, strange dreams, dizziness, tiredness, confusion, and headache. Omega fish oil definitely does not have the same antidepressant effects.

Would not regard your approaches to be either safe nor prudent. Contact your physician and fully inform of your concerns. Depending on your symptoms, the OTC approach is unlikely to be successful.
