> Sorry to hear it, Lar. Just curious; what time of day do you take your magnesium and what is your daily dosage? I currently take 800 mg (as Mg) just before bed and, as I think you already know, it puts me right to sleep and keeps me in a deep sleep all night (except for the pee breaks, after which I fall right back to sleep).Part of my problem is my self-care goes out the window when I get sleep-deprived....talk about a vicious circle. The other is I am doing med trial after med trial, and I don't want to confound my observations by taking anything extra. In the last month, I've tried Seroquel, trazadone (for the fourth time....frig, I hate that stuff), and now Zyprexa (olanzapine).
> Every now and then I will have a bad night. I will have trouble falling asleep and/or I will wake up after about four hours of sleep and have difficulty falling back asleep. For me, this almost always means that I need more moodstabilizer (Lithobid), but your situation is different than my BP II case.
I'm going to push to try mood stabilizers next....can't hurt, might help.

I can't even keep my people straight (and after you kindly sent me the NADH you didn't need any more). But you didn't answer the question....
