Can i take efalex original brain formula with zoloft (sertraline) and do you think it would help my ocd?

Efalex: Another otc product designed to relieve your wallet of excessive thickness without necessarily having proven value. Belief in benefits is often beneficial in and by itself. Would discuss this with your psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and go from there. Good luck.

Efalex : Efalex is a supplement containing a high dha formulation of fish (tuna) oil and evening primrose oil supplying gamma-linoleic acid (gla). This is actually a low epa product, and epa is the portion of fish oil especially needed in mood disorders like depression (common in those with ocd). Omega-3's have not been studied well in ocd, so we can't say if they help with this.
