Heh heh, yeah, "megadose" is awfully vague and the doses taken by people with serious health problems make my dosage look like nothing. What I meant to imply is that I don't just take the near-placebo doses that the "recommended dose" on the bottle usually is.
I take ten one-gram capsules daily, which works out to 3.25g of EPA and 2.25g of DHA (note how little that really is; it's not like all ten grams provide benefits). I split it up into two doses, morning and night, and I'm currently using Nordic Naturals brand Ultimate Omega.
Accumulatorette is closer to a real megadose; she takes the Dr. Sears Zone Omega RX brand in liquid form (she takes hers all at once, adding it to her protein drink). Her daily dose is 13.5g of liquid, which is 5.4g of EPA and 2.7 of DHA.
Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to do the same hangover-proofing for her that it does for me
