One suggestion for you -- try putting your daily food intake into a diet site like Fitday. Then you will know what nutrients are in your food and how your intake compares with recommended. I have been doing this the last couple days and am finding it's kind of fun and definitely interesting. You may see some imbalances that you didn't know were there. I've been pretty surprised that my potassium was not higher and that my sodium was so high, for instance. And it usually takes something like nuts to shoot my magnesium up over calcium.
I have a quick reaction to magnesium too. When I first started taking it, I went off my meds (Zoloft, Provigil) the next day and haven't taken them since. Now, some years later, I still notice the difference if I fall behind in my magnesium intake. I used to have lots of suicide ideation before and automatic negative thoughts, e.g. "I wish I was dead". If I have that thought now, I usually realize I've not taken much magnesium, take more magnesium and then am fine.
Have you had any blood or other tests recently?
