I was stopped up, so my plan was to drink it in the morning and go straight to the office and get er done on the company roll of toilet paper. Three miles to go, though and it was already churning up powerful peristalsis. By the time I burst through the office door the pressure at my rear sphincter had built up to about 40 PSI at least. Bee line to the restroom, fired off the charge into the bo...

Took Magnesium citrate for a few months to help with anxiety. Seemed to improve my mood somewhat and stop the bruxism I was suffering but didn't do that much for anxiety. Loosened up my stools are fair bit too!

i used this after not being able to have a bm for one week, even while taking miralax. mag citrate started working within 2 hours of drinking it, and it continued to work for 7 more hours. i do not recommend drinking an entire bottle as the first dose. half worked just fine for me.

like many other reviewers here, the first time i tried this i had disappointing results, it hardly worked at all. the cherry flavor isn't bad,just drink it as fast as you can. i gave it a 2nd try later on and the 2nd time drank more water after i took it. i waited about 2.5 or 3 hours and nothing happened; i was considering going to the pharmacy to buy something else to use since i was really constipated but then it finally started to work. not much warning, a prolonged "gurgling" feeling and then a rush to the bathroom. i was surprised to read so many reviews saying this doesn't work, for a few hours i didn't stray too far from the bathroom. strong diarrhea but on the good side no cramps or nausea. this and milk of magnesia are best.Read More Read Less

Have had 10 colonoscopies since 40 yrs old. Last 2 have had failed colon preps. Last week tried SupPrep, exactly as directed. It did not kick in for hours and failed to completely clean colon. This time with Mag Citrate am having "similar results." 2 day routine one bottle last night at 5:30 and no BM until this morning at 4:30 A.M. dID DRINK A TON OF FLUIDS also but,,,,? Take second does tonight in about 2 hours and am not hopeful. Only thing worse than the prep is going through one and not getting completely cleaned out! 3 years ago used MoviPrep or Osmo Prep and was cleaned out whamo. Still leaking the following a.m.Read More Read Less

Following doctor's instructions exactly for 1st colonoscopy on Tuesday. I drank entire bottle of CVS brand (lemon) at 5pm today, followed by 2 8 oz glasses of water. I actually liked the taste, which was a pleasant surprise- kind of like a lemon fizzie drink from my childhood. Now 1120pm (over 6 hours!) & no movement yet- maybe I'm just slow.... Hope CVS brand was decent quality!

I've had to take this once after a surgery, and one other time. It did not work within the 30 minute to 6 hour time-frame listed on the bottle...both times it took between 12 and 14 hours for it to take effect!
