Hi Larry,
Well, I mentioned working out has been impossible for me as any sweating makes distrupts my sleep, etc. I went to a tai chi class Friday night from 7 to 9. My legs were wobbly after class and I thought here we go again. I took 200 mg of mangesium citrate (Since my latest slew of supplements arrived). I slept ok and didn't feel great, but more importantly not totally crappy either. I ended up planting 50 pine trees on Saturday and thought "well it will catch up with me". I took another 200 mg Saturday night with my 50 mg TCA. Seemed to sleep well, no longer than usual but felt decent today. Didn't seem to grind my teeth as much either....hmmm.
So after dinner tonight (Sunday) I felt a little irritable but took 200 mg MG with dinner and just took another 200 now. I was suprised to see that 400 mg of MG citrate was the daily recommended allowance. I drink a couple of cups of milk a day but wonder if this is placebo? I generally don't get the placebo effect. I really hope I stumbled upon something here. If I did, I got it from the MG thread and with your help. All the time I spend researching stuff sure seemed worth it to have 2 days of relative peace. Thank you.I get the feeling supplements are more important than most drepressives think. Herbs are more questionable to me, but supplements might command a strong presence that is somewhat overlooked by docs etc.
Sometimes I feel a little guilty that I don't offer more here. I seem to ask a lot of questions. If I am able to help one person for even one day I would feel good. Hopefully I can repay the help I have gotten here. Have a good one.
