Who takes Magnesium and how much?

Medications

I take 300mg a day. It stops anxiety but I’m worried it’s making me tired. All in all it helps a lot!

Does anyone take it too and what dose? Do you think it helps with symptoms?

I got some suploments with calcium and magnesium and I believe vitamin D today. Idk how much is in it. I’m sure any amount would be helpful.

Maybe you could take it before bed?

Ya, I take 150 at bedtime and 150 in the morning but I might try 75 in the morning. I just like how it keeps my benzo use low. If I don’t have enough magnesium I just have more benzos :grimacing::grimacing:

It’s weird, Vitamin D gives me extreme agitation. I have no idea why.

I hope the supplements help you! Mag has been a life changer!

I take 200mg of magnesium glycinate in the morning and then again in the evening and it really helps my anxiety and also stops muscle cramping.

I take it in the glycinate form because it doesn’t upset my stomach like the citrate form.

I started on magnesium again recently. I take two tablets before I go to bed.
The dreams I have when I’ve taken magnesium are crazy. I normally dream vividly anyway but with magnesium things shift around a lot and don’t make a lick of sense when I look back over them when I wake up.
Unfortunately it hasn’t really fixed me waking up three times a night but I do feel more relaxed on them so I will keep taking them.

That’s good to hear - I need the citrate with all my meds :rofl:

Yeah, I still wake up a lot too. Does taking it all at night mean you feel more energy during the day?

Well that’s the idea in theory. Better quality of sleep = more energy in the day time. Seems to work so far but its not like a massive difference. I have a bit more energy and motivation to do stuff.

i take 400 mg every third day. It’s a mixture of magnesium_treonate, malate, glycinate and citrate.

I used to take magnesium and never noticed anything.

200mg glycinate before bed. It helps marginally with sleep.

They say magnesium is a “cooling” mineral that can calm down the brain.

Yes, a ‘brake’ that slows it down.

I used to take magnesium taurate for sleep and anxiety. I recently bought a bottle of magnesium glycine because ChatGPT said it helps with schizophrenia. I rarely take it.
