[jenny2008]

has anyone taken over 4000 mg of fish oil and if so any luck w/ helping w/ the dryness?

I take 4,000mg of flaxseed oil. (2,000 in AM/2,000 in PM) Haven't noticed a difference but I figure it can't hurt. Hopefully.

High doses of fish oil may prevent proper coagulation. Be careful. I've noticed this effect even while taking "regular" doses specified on Walgreens fish oil bottles for months in a row.

I.E. after a dental visit I disturbed a tooth and it would bleed for a lot longer than I expected it to.

In general after years of using fish (and krill) oil I noticed zero positive effect on my dry eye, so I stopped. As far as I am concerned, it is merely snake oil.
