> Ok, decided to begin the Magnesium thing. I have been on it for 5 days now. Used it at 200mg at night. No real problem there. After 3 days, decided to add another 200mg at lunch. The past two days, I have been almost in a coma with sleepiness and this afternoon, well, sorry to be graphic, but let us just say - I could go for a colonoscopy without a prep (really an awful situation) and that just can't be great on the electrolytes. Does this get better? Is 200mg per day enough for an effect or should I just forget it? I do think it's helped my muscle pain and night time sleep is better. I would like to continue - but, I don't know. Any ideas?
What type of magnesium are you taking? I take 600-800 mg of magnesium citrate per day, and have no problems with diarreah. You might want to switch to citrate, or any other form, less prone to cause diarreah.
