Larry,
I did not get the loading test - just the bloods;
the reason i mention kidney is because typically
a magnesium test is given when a person had
kidney or diabetes disorders. With lithium in
my history for over 20 yrs. my dr. may have
wanted to do an indirect check. The diabetes
test was a fasting or retention test for 12 hrs.As for having palpitations - you may remember
me from waaaaaaaaaayyy back in another net
planet. I stopped having palpitations when i
withdrew from Xanax. What i have stressed often
is that a high Synthroid dose (which i was
mistakenly put on) acts like speed and gives you
palpitations. Once the dose was lowered i was
ok. Also, the tolerance to Xanax gave me
panic attacks - and the palpitations go along with
that.To take mg as a supplement to benzo? Aaarrghh,
maybe it would workd but you know mg has
side effects and it would be yet another "Fear and
Loathing" adventure *for me*.But your research is definitely interesting, as
magnesium may be a healhtier way to supplement
benzos with their notorious side effects.Squiggles
