No but have you tried taking magnesium glycinate or magnesium theronate ?

[mattom75 in reply to Hidden]

I have been taking magnesium glycinate supplements and krill oil. Both are supposed to benefit mental health. My anxiety and 24/7 lightheadedness started approximately one week after stopping sam e. I can somewhat deal with the anxiety. My main concern is the constant lightheadedness. Its been 14 months with no improvement. I've read that it generally takes 18 to 24 months for the neurotransmitters to reach homeostasis. So I'm optimistic that in time my brain will heal.

What brand do you take, magnesium glycinate ?.

[mattom75 in reply to Hidden]

Doctors Best high absorption magnesium 100% chelated.

[Hidden in reply to mattom75]

The best !! Maybe try l-theronate ?

[mattom75 in reply to Hidden]

I suppose it Couldn't hurt to try a different type of magnesium, the glycinate doesn't seem to be helping much.
