Does anyone use a time release magnesium supplement and find any PD symptom relief from muscle tightness and get any improvement in being able to walk?

HI - I take magnesium citrate at before bed. It almost eliminates night time leg cramps. There are several types of magnesium. I take magnesium citrate because it has one of the best absorption rates and is still affordable. I buy Nature Made Magnesium Citrate at King Soopers (Kroger), where they often have it buy one get one free.

I take 2 - 250 mg pills but would suggest you start with one. Magnesium is also a natural laxative so proceed with caution.

I also have 2 different prescriptions I can take for muscle relaxants which I occasionally take if I need something more:

Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg - for nighttime muscle cramps (it will make you sleepy)

Methocarbamol 750 mg - for daytime.

Take care!
