Magnesium is a necessary element for the human body and may calm a subset of people, but it also can cause diarrhea at higher doses.As for what concerns you, I don't think it is powerful enough to do anything, but if you want to try it, its harmless enough, that's about the maximum amount I'd take it per day.
Amantadine is sometimes used for EPS management for certain agents, I can't say it has anything for tolerance.
I tried it for the unfortunate Zyprexa experiment, it just didn't really cover the stiffness, which I still have in my legs and trunk, varyingly.
It raises or alters dopamine levels a bit basically, accidentally discovered I believe with Parkinson's patients who had the flu.
At least I believe that is how it is. It no longer is effective against modern flu strains for the most part.
I'm trying to understand all of what has been going on with you, but I must say the length of stay in a modern European hospital and as to where all these medications and doctors are coming from mystifies me. I'll leave it at that.
I think that if a number of agents have been thrown around in a merrygoround, it is not surprising that there is some tolerance.
That doesn't mean that there won't be some relief on the horizon, if you take a medication prescribed by a doctor for a long enough time. I cannot stress that enough and I believe some others have had the same opinion.
Its a painful place to be -- but patience is the only thing -- searching for more and more agents isn't necessarily going to give you more and more relief. In fact, it could do more harm.
Where's the socialization? Interaction with people, in your own country and city? It may be difficult with your condition, which I still am not getting a complete diagnosis, it seems to change a bit -- that's irrelevant -- but group therapy, things like that, have been shown to help too, even before we had modern medication, which still has much to improve.
I think in the end, its not the focus on all the medications, which are necessary, don't get me wrong, but the focus on your identity and your strengths, and your peers.--- best wishes
