Damn, just want to warn people here, I bought magnesium Bisglycinate last week since I read good stuff about it, however I am a person that has been having anxiety issues now and then and since I have been taking this form of magnesium before sleep my anxiety went up like crazy, first days after taking I didn’t realize it was from the mag until I stopped taking it.

Perhaps I help someone with my honest experience

I can't tolerate megnisum glycinate.i m already in medicine withdrawnl. Can anyone suggest.me any other form of megnisum can improve my deficiency? Please guide

So I started taking 300mg of magnesium glycinate three weeks ago. I’ve been sleeping better through the night and less anxiety. I noticed my period this month was very light brown spotting for four days, then disappeared. This is very unusual for me. I always bleed a full five days. I read about how it can delay my period, I stopped taking the mag for one night and didn’t sleep at all! Did this happen to anyone and did you keep taking the mag? Did your cycle eventually get back to normal or did you have to stop mag?

I guess this means it's too strong?

The brand I use is the Nature Made brand.

I took Magnesium Oxide 400 mg every day to help with heart palpitations as directed by my cardiologist.

Eventually I didn't need it anymore when I took a break from it since it was causing me to use the bathroom a lot. (I think other defiencies was the real culprit because I later introduced different supplements and then my heart palp fully went away)

I want to resume Magnesium but I guess I was worried 250 mg might be too strong.

I had tried Magnesium Glycinate in the past, but that was for taking it as a sleep aid.

I have considered taking Magnesium Oxide every other day but I don't know if I will still get enough benefits from it.

Anyone have a similar experience with Magnesium Oxide?

Heya, I had a blood test that indicated my vitamin D was at 14 ng/ml. My magnesium was in the middle range. My b12 was in the healthy range but still slightly lower. My bilirubin was high and same with glucose.

I've been having severe symptoms of brain fog, random bouts of nausea, dry eyes (which I have a cyclosporine prescription for now), struggling to focus, and a feeling of pulsating blood through my head when sitting down. It may be worth noting that this started near around when I briefly used topical minodixiol (only for 2 weeks), but I'm not so sure about if that caused all this. This feels like it might be a blood pressure issue.

I was wondering if anyone else had any similar symptoms and if it went away? Or if these symptoms may be something else which they solved.

Due to it keeping you up? How was the outcome? I'm a distance runner so I know I need magnesium. If I take it in the evening, it wires me up. So I want to start taking it in the morning .

Hello,

I've been taking 300 mg of elemental magnesium (in the form of bisglycinate) for about 10 days, and it really helped me sleep! I take half in the morning with breakfast and half at night with dinner. I'm mainly taking it for stress and sleep.

However, I've been getting more and more nauseous, some other digestion issues and dizziness. I think this could be related to the magnesium. I stopped taking it yesterday because of this and it seems to be improving.

I wonder if this could mean it is too much magnesium? (300mg isn't that much I thought) Or could it be the type (bisglycinate)? It doesn't make me wired, like I've heard other people mentioning. I also have some citrate at home, but I thought that'd only cause more digestion issues.

Thanks!

I take 200mg magnesium taurate in the A.M to help my palpitations/pvc's and at night I take NOW Magnesium which has 400mg elemental from oxide and citrate for my bowels. Is this amount safe to take or do I look for an alternative for my P.M dose?

Hello all,

I take magnesium glycinate to aid with sleep, I read magnesium l-Theronate can assist with anxiety. Can I take both ? Or do I have give 1 up for the other?

Quest and Labcorp (in the US) appear to only list serum testing. And getting it through my GP (if they can actually get it) is another copay visit which for me is $100.

LabCorp:

This test measures the level of magnesium in your blood, empowering you to make informed decisions on your nutrition and lifestyle choices for optimal health.

Quest:

This test can help determine the amount of magnesium you have in your blood. Low levels cause a magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia) and is more common than high levels (hypermagnesemia). Read more

I was an alcoholic for many years and never got much if any magnesium, and if I did, it was neutralized by caffeine or alcohol or whatever poison was in me. Acknowledging my deficiency my doctor got me on magnesium pills.

I tell you I'm in shock at how tired I am, but more so, how completely at peace and relaxed I am. I don't seem to be stressed (or whatever hell was my version of "stress" before). My whole body is soft, even my chronically tight calves and hamstrings from years of ten mile walks. My legs which I thought were damaged and weak seemed to soften and completely relax even while walking.

I'm astonished honestly at how different magnesium makes me feel and I realize I've gone without it for my whole life.

I was wondering if anyone has had any "adjustment" or "loading phases" where your body experiences some kind of shock or something in reaction to the new supplement. My entire body is soft, my mind is at peace, but I'm oh so tired, and my jaw is doing something odd. It's like I lived with a clench jaw forever, but it's slowly melting away, revealing some kind of constant pain. It's like the magnesium is revealing where my "normal" was chronically tight and softening it (causing dull pain and a stretched feeling).

My jaw by my chin to the smiley muscles are all kind of pumping, like there's new life in them, and they're trying to relax. It's like this constant noticeable flexion/tension, and my legs are like I'm walking on pillows.

Is this like a sign of extreme deficiency and the body going into some kind of shock after finally getting what it should have had for years?

I bought some magnesium after reading many take it to help them sleep. But after I got it I notice there are different kinds. Some are good for sleep
While others are good for constipation, which I sometimes suffer from but then I read it can cause diarrhea and I don’t want that. Which is best for sleep? This is the one I bought before I realized there were different kinds.

19F, 5'2, 95 pounds, generally healthy except for minor lifetime indigestion/malabsorption from a hernia operation as a baby, a few months ago I experienced high stress and then malabsorption and malnutrition and ever since, I've been trying to eat healthy, keep hydrated and pinpoint what's missing. I dragged through September with muscle pain, then just this month, BOOM everything comes at once, headaches, blood sugar crash when I don't eat, blood pressure change when I stand up, eye pain, thyroid pain (ruled out), neck pain, back pain, wrist and ankle pain, burning feet, pins and needles, peeing every 20 minutes, head feels heavy and like everything is fake, extremely anxious and depressed, my nervous system hyper and speedrunning my digestion process, hair thinning and worse of all I tore both sides of my neck muscles, my leg, back, and chest muscle all this week (that one hurts so bad it hurts my whole torso and back) from doing nothing. I'm dragging like I got hit by a truck and supposed to be on bed rest but I have a sick mom who slaves me around so there's no concern for me. Can't cook, can't clean, can't even shower without ripping something. No concern from medical professionals, went through 3 physicians, went to ER four times and they found no emergencies so "check in with physician" physician is playing around and family members treat me like I'm crazy. everyone shut me down when they learned I had anxiety. "It's just anxiety, take your medicine". Begged for tests and just found out vitamin D is at 19, is that bad? Also I know my magnesium is shit but they already drew my blood 7 times this week. B12, potassium, calcium (calcium is high but good) are all good. I can't find anything on Reddit on anyone else's body tearing up this quickly, it gets worse by the day. Am I in danger?

Plus, should I start 2000 iu & 200 mg magnesium glycinate since my next doctor's appointment is in 3 days? I fear she's gonna test me for the Magnesium and tell me to wait for a week for the results before I can get a better dosage of everything, this will be my third time seeing her just to further express my CONCERN.

so i’ve heard magnesium helps you sleep better and decided i’d start using it for sleep. I was taking it in the morning this past week but decided last night to take it before bed, about an hour and a half before i decided to go to sleep. I feel like i was awake the whole night, like i heard every sound happening, i didn’t dream, i felt like i was still awake sort of? It was really weird it reminded me of the time i had sleep paralysis, is this normal? Idk if it was some one off fluke thing on my end and had nothing to do with the magnesium or if magnesium can cause this?

I only want k2 for my teeth and magnesium for general health, i think i have enough d3 in me 😂

Hi everyone,
I've been dealing with PSSD for years, which I'm certain was triggered by antidepressants. My emotional range is very limited and my sexual function is impaired. The symptoms come in waves: they sometimes ease, then return.
I've noticed that magnesium consistently makes everything worse. My libido drops to nothing, my emotions get even flatter (I barely have any to begin with), and paradoxically my sleep gets worse too, even though magnesium is supposed to help with sleep.
Vitamin D3 does the same thing, and in an even stronger form, so I've stopped taking it completely.
Magnesium is a different story, because I can't just drop it. Without it I get episodes of extrasystoles and supraventricular tachycardia. My doctor recommends it because it works well for my heart rhythm issues.
So I'm stuck: with magnesium my heart is stable but my PSSD symptoms get worse, and without it the reverse happens.
Two questions:
Has anyone had magnesium or vitamin D3 worsen their PSSD? Did a different form of magnesium (citrate, glycinate, taurate, malate, oxide...) or a different dose make a difference?
Has anyone found a way to reduce or reverse these side effects while keeping arrhythmias under control?
Thanks for any advice or shared experience.

I cannot take Magnesium Glycinate due to the glycine in it. It helps me sleep but raises over all glutamate and gives racing heart when I take it, it does knock me out to sleep, but also gives me bad symptoms next day - head pain, anxiety, etc. Has anyone had luck with L-Threonate instead??? I know I need magnesium, but I need to find a type that works for me!
