I have fibromyalgia, depression and sleep apena with difficulty falling and staying asleep. I have found a and was told by a specialitst that you need to start with a small dose of magnesium once a day (ie: 250 mg) for a few days and then increase it to twice a day.

I don't see my Jigsaw Health Magnesium w/SRT on the list, but it basically has kept my bad back from going out on me since 2007 when I first started taking it. I won't do without it. It's the best because it stays in my system longer and no diarrhea effect whatsoever.

I discovered mag for my asthma when I went to the ER with a severe asthma attack and when nothing else worked the Dr. gave me IV mag.This totally resolved my symptoms. Most of the time I can control with inhalors but when I dont respond to them I take 250-500MG of oral magnesium and I always respond well. I dont know if this would be appropriate for everyone so talk to your Dr. about it but this really works for me and you can get it at any store that sells vitamins.A lot cheaper than a ER visit!!Read More Read Less

I have anxiety related to menopause. My Dr. said I should not take to much Magnesium, because it's not good for your liver? Butt I take it when my panic attacks are really bad and it helps a little bit.

I took 250 mg for three days. I began having horrible headaches. I don't know if it was from the magnesium but that was the only change in my meds. Am waiting a few days before I take it again to see if the headaches stop.

I used to be tortured with Restless Leg Syndrome every night, making it impossible to relax and sleep. Then a friend recommended taking a Magnesium supplement. I was desperate for relief, and it sounded like a harmless thing to try, so I did. Wow! I have only been bothered ONCE with RLS since I began taking a 250 mg Magnesium supplement every day, several months ago! Such a simple solution to such a bothersome problem.

I read our locality was magnesium deficient. I have several symptoms of deficiency. Worked like magic on energy, muscles, heart rhythm, migraines. Timing the dose so bowels moved in a.m. helped control urgency. Especially effective for me in CFS pain, stiffness. Full effect after several months of use. After my success, my Dr. recommended supplements to others with CFS and most found it helpful for pain. One could check if the locale is low in magnesium: I discovered it through reading about gardening in my area. I put epsom salt on my flowers and in my bath too.Read More Read Less

Since 2006, I have suffered from constipation due to heavy narcotic intake. I had a four level lumbar fusion which left me in more pain than prior to surgery. Stool softners, colace, exlax and duculax provided little relief to me. My mother-in-law suggested that I take magnesium. As always, I spoke with my doctor about this and he told me that it may help me, not only with this condition, but my bone density is poor as well (especially for a 46 year old male). I started taking 500mg magnesium three times daily, and after 4 to 5 days, I'm having bowel movements nearly every day, whereas before, I was lucky to go twice a week, and then after taking stool softners and 3 duculax, which cramped me badly. I'm so glad, after nearly four years, to find relief for my problem. I would recommend that if you are having this problem due to narcotics, talk to your doctor about this excellent treatment.Read More Read Less
