Actually, I have found that I need periodic magnesium breaks as tolerance develops. My doctor pointed this out to me, but I already knew from experience. The same for Neurontin as a muscle relaxant. Zinc depletion, B12 or folic acid deficiency and hypothyroidism can also cause trigger point irritability. There is a great chapter on perpetuating factors in relation to myofascial pain/dysfunction in "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual" by Janet Travell, MD and David Simons, MD.
