I read magnesium is good for anxiety. Well i took it (from the store) and i feel so "drugged", i feel its almost taking Lithium (though i have never took it)
I feel just like, ------, like that.
How long is it going to last because i really hate the way this stuff is.

Are you the same person that was posting under a different name in the past? You sure do remind me of someone else!!!! I just tried to sent that "someone else" a babble mail and it didn't go because it prompted that his posting name was changed.

Long time psychiatrict patients with either depression or anxiety have been cured with magnesium. But like you, I respond very poorly to magnesium. Actually, I cannot think of any other supplement that makes me feel so bad.
I eat very healthy so I am assuming I get all the magnesium I need and any extra is not good.
Magnesium has so many different functions I cannot begin to analyze what exactly is wrong with it for me. It just slows something down way too much, something that is already too slow to begin with.
Others would say to take much lower doses at first and build up slowly over weeks and months to higher doses. But even a little bit makes me feel much more depressed, anhedonic, and tired. It wears off in about 24 to 36 hours for me.

>I was just going to say magnesium in excess is a laxative and purgative (Epsom Salts, Magnesium Citrate, etc.)
Electrolytes are important but remember not to overdo them

Magnesium makes me just feel like im something that is psychiatriclly prescribed.
GOD, i was like is this Magnesisuim or Lithium? they both are elements ROFL!
I know its healthy, but i took 500mg and i was so depressed, i just really in a horrible horrible mood that night, i took it to maybe stabilize my mood, and calm some anxiety. God if i just knew what was going to hit me later on....a 18-wheeler truck. ROFL!
Very hard on me (Mag) dont want to take it ever again.
Thanks

Yea, i thought it had some stabizling effects.... calm me down, it did, but i wanted to throw up...ugh god.
i thought i just took a "element" of Clonazepam, it was so depressing, nothing was moving in my head. Thats not how mood stabilizers work.Anyways thanks for the post ;)
