OK, did you all know that the lack of MAGNESIUM is proven to be the problem in most of "our" problems. If you can, go get the book written by Carolyn Dean, it's called "The Miracle of Magnesium", and in it explains some crucial points of the human body and LACK of MAGNESIUM. Put it this way, I have Anxiety/ Panic, IBS & Gerd... I started taking the Magnesium today, and yes it helped that fast.... I do not have the Gerd symptoms that I usually am always well aware of, as well as the muscle twitching, and spasms of the stomach. I found this all out on another thread for digestive disorders, but they talk about anxiety in there too.

A few things that Magnesium supplements WILL help:
1. Anxiety and Panic attacks-Mg normally keeps adrenal stress hormones under control.
2. Bowel disease - Mg deficiency slows down the bowel causing constipation, which could lead to toxicity and malabsorption of nutrients, as well as colitis.
3. Depression-Serotonin, which elevates moods, is dependent on Mg. A Mg-deficient brain is also more susceptible to allergens, foreign substances that can cause symptoms similar to mental illness.
4. Fatigue- Mg-deficient patients commonly experience fatigue because dozens of enzyme systems are under-functioning. An early symptom of Mg deficiency is frequently fatigue.
5. Heart disease- Mg deficiency is common in people with heart disease. Mg is administered in hospitals for acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmia. Like any other muscle, the heart muscle requires Mg. Mg is also used to treat angina, or chest pain.
6. Insomnia- Sleep-regulating melatonin production is disturbed without sufficient Mg.
7. Nerve problems- Mg alleviates peripheral nerve disturbances throughout the whole body, such as migraines, muscle contractions, gastrointestinal spasms, and calf, foot and toe cramps. It is also used in treating central nervous symptoms of vertigo and confusion.
8. Tooth decay- Mg deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorus and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY MANY MORE THAT I DIDN'T LIST THAT IS IN THAT BOOK I TOLD YOU ABOUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS TREAD!

Please try this guys, you can not know the how great this is, I can't even tell you in words how much better I feel... IM NOT TWITCHING, I DON'T FEEL FOGGY any more, How great is that... out of the blue, just all of a sudden... It's gone with one pill, WHO KNEW (hahahaha), I am soooo happy.
If you will, go to the Digestive board, and look at the very first one posted, that's the one I started to read, then moved onto the book, and here I am.... I hope I stay as good as I am today, this will be the miracle I have been asking GOD for, for some time now...
please keep me posted, by the way... you can buy Magnesium at any pharmacy, health food store etc...
Good luck and God bless...

Hi there !

Well...that is indeed great news.

And I'm also happy for you that it makes you feel so good. :)


I also take Magnesium at night.
Not everyday though, because my brand (actually all brands I've seen) requires to take 3 freakin' pills !! :eek:

I'm taking already a bunch of supplements....and sometimes I drink so much water with it, I get a balloon belly and I feel like vomiting, LOL !

It's such a pain to take so many pills.


You only take 1 (one) Magnesium pill you said ???
If so...which brand please, and where to get ?

Thanks ! :bouncing:

Hey thanks for sharing that, I will give it a go and hope it helps me.

Aschatan:
Actually it is in a pack that I got from Vitamin World. I got the "Daily Vitamin Packs" for Woman by Natural Wealth. In the pack it has Magnesium 350 mg along with other supplements, the entire pack includes Multi-Vitamin, Vitamin C with Rose Hips, Multi- Mineral, Calcium & Magnesium.
It just says to take one packet daily with a meal, I went this way because I was taking the other supplements any way... so I just got a better deal this way. I was looking at others however, and they said to take one pill a day with food, and not to take it within 2 hours of other meds due to the absorption factor, and they were 250 & 500 mg per pill.
How much do you take? How often?
God Bless :angel:

well.. I hope it helps... and if it does good for you, I will look into it also... but after just one day, I really think its more of a placebo affect right now...be careful though... too much magnesium is no good also...

I've taken it for years for migraines, didn't help me for migraines or anxiety
I am glad it is working for you. If you take a Multi Vit. it should contain the daily requirements for it as well :wave:

Hey, thanks for the reply ! :)

Looks like you've got it easy having to take a packet only once a day. :)

When I DO take my Magnesium, it is 400 mg - plus Zinc, 15 mg.
It says to take 3 tablets daily with a meal. So, that's what I do.

But like I said earlier. With ALLL of my other supps, it becomes quite 'gagfull' for me. :D

In my multivit/mineral there's also 200 mg in it.
So, altogether I am taking 600 mg of Mag. :eek:

I've heard that one should take up to 800 mg a day. (I hope I'm not mistaken now !). But it's a shame. Most multi's don't even have the recommended amount of 400mg (100 %)...sometimes only 10 %.
It would be so much easier. One gulp...Done! :p

But I think it would be a horse pill if it were included too, huh. :D

I've tried cal/mag supplements too, and it didn't help my anxiety or migraines noticeably, like Bell said. But when i take my vitamins I never get sick, so that's a plus!

I still want to try Omega 3 supplements. Those are also supposed to be real good for anxiety, and that's one I have not tried.

The very first time I too Mg I had good results, then they tapered off. I still take 400mg a day just to increase my "percentages" against the struggle with depression. I toyed around with dosages - stayed at 250mg a day for a long time then about a year ago went up to 400mg and have been doing better. There's a website devoted to Mg that echoes original post - that's where I discovered it. I just buy a Mg Oxide 250mg at drug store and cut one in half and take 1 1/2 tabs. It's about $3 for 100 tabs. Supposedly there's better formulations than Mg Oxide, but are more expensive. Does anyone know the formulation? :wave:

That is wonderful that this is working for you! I hope it keeps on working
good luck

Want2feelgood, See my post today under "Concerned about your heart..." and you will see that I didn't hold back. I originally posted it on May 05. Glad to see you're also having good results. I think it is well worth trying, and a calcium/magnesium combo is not very expensive. The calcium helps with the assimilation of magnesium. The combo I take also has 25 mg of zinc, so maybe that helps with the assimilation also. Take care, Steve

HI AGAIN EVERYONE, WELL I AM ON DAY 2 AND SO FAR SO GOOD. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT I HAVE A FEAR OF TAKING NEW PILLS "ANY KIND" SO ON TOP OF ME "NOT KEELING OVER DEAD" FROM IT, AND IT MAKING ME FEEL BETTER.... IT IS JUST AN ALL AROUND GOOD THING FOR ME. I AM SORRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ON IT AND IT DIDN'T HELP, BUT I GUESS THAT SHOWS HOW DIFERENT WE ARE AS HUMAN BEINGS. I HAVE READ SO MANY GOOD REPORTS ABOUT IT HOWEVER, AND IT IS WORTH A TRY TO ANYONE WHO HAS NOT TRIED IT YET. I GUESS I AM SO THRILLED WITH IT, BECAUSE IT WAS AN IMEDIATE HELP FOR MY GERD PROBLEM, AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY I AM ON SUCH A HIGH RITE NOW... ALL I KNOW IS I FEEL GOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG LONG TIME, AND I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL :angel:
