In reply to potassium/magnesium and ssri's, posted by babs on February 19, 2003, at 13:08:03
Potassium supplements in useful dosages are available by RX only.
The OTC postasium tablets are only 99 mg per tablet.
However, if you go buy "no-salt" salt substutute, it is actually potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. A big shaker only costs about $4, and 1/4 teaspoon mixed into a glass of water provides 650mg of potassium.
I actually got that tip from the book:
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised 2nd Edition by Michael T. Murray, Joseph E. Pizzorno
