> Does/will magnesium interfere/compete for any of the neurotransmitters?
The reason I have suggested magnesium to a couple of people is that it *theoretically* would compete with glutamate for binding to the NMDA receptor, the result of which might be to tone down neuronal excitability. Many people feel calmer with magnesium and sometimes use it as a sleep aid. You don't want to take too much, though. It can act as a laxative.
