Magnesium

[Sylvia22]

Has any one had slight edgy feeling after starting magnesium? Only taking 375 after breakfast in the morning.

You mean directly after taking your dose and then it goes away? Or a permenant edgy feeling since you started it? Maybe you're taking it too close to your thyroid hormone, so the hormone doesn't get absorbed properly.

Thanks. Today I didn't take the magnesium and felt better. Maybe I should start with half the dose.

How much are you taking? What time do you take it? I Don't think magnesium is one of the things you have to start low and work up, you just take about 300 - 400, some people suggest even more. I haven't heard of side-effects from magnesium.

Have a look at this :

I take it about 10 am. I think maybe I should try taking the lower dose. I have always been very sensitive to all types of medicines and supplements.Thanks for the reply

Actually, magnesium should be taken at bedtime. And it helps with sleep!

Hi I take magnesium on a script so have to have a weekly blood test to check the levels for safety.

Hi

I haven't taken any for a couple of days and feel much better so whether it was that I don't know. May try smaller dose at night in a few days.

You could ask for a blood test, not brilliant but a good guide.

Maybe there's a filler in it that doesnt agree with you?

Much better to take at bedtime to aid sleep.
