User Reviews for magnesium

I just started this treatment

Because of my diabetes meds, I have had terrible constipation. I take 2,000 to 3,000 perday and it gives me great relief. Also, I noticed that my foot neuropathy has decreased. My daughter awakened me to this because she is an OB nurse. They give to new mothers to prevent straining after giving birth. I am forever grateful.

Was told to take this with Calcium, however, I'm apparently sensitive to magnesium as it caused severe diarrhea, nausea and vomiting after only 1 dose at 250 mg. Tried taking lower dosage and experienced same problems...simply cannot take magnesium.

I originally began taking as I heard that it helped the calcium I take process better. The plus of taking was it seemed to cure the bad leg cramps I was getting due to nerve damage, however the negative was the horrible runs I got. I took the pill at bedtime and woke to the runs with no feelings of sickness before or after and was fine throughout the day. This was on 400 mg. Will try less and see if I get the same results.

I have been trying to reduce my daily migraine meds and a neurologist friend recommended 500mg/d and my HA's have greatly reduced I'm down to 1-2 per month I was having 1-2 every 2 weeks. It has also helped my constipation 2 for the price of 1.

they gave me magnesium for an irregular heartbeat because of low levels which is working well. also helped my constipation do to pain killers from knee replacement.

i have a very bad case. this seems to alleviate some of the muscle spasms. however, i have a tendency to have stomach upsets which this makes worse. overall, i would take it as needed.

I have RLS, and at night. I cannot sleep too long because of it. I took a 500mg mag pill, and that night, no RLS. Is this an effective way to control my RLS? DMC

took it for labile hypertension, worked with a dose of 500mg. twice/da. however;in my case (have colitis) caused diarrhea and was told that it may affect the kidneys.

I am a care giver. My mother suggested magnesium to my husband when he had on-going muscle cramps in his leg. Within a week, he had no more cramps; and has had only rare times of any onset of cramping. My brother-in-law and also a male friend complained of cramps (back and calves). They also began taking magnesium and happy to report they have no more cramping after a week on 250 mg a day.

Had a headache for 2 yrs straight. Entered hospital to break it. Was treated with IV magnesium. Am taking 250 mg/day now; am still having some headaches but not every day all day. Am considering taking 500 mg/day until it gets in my system a little more.

Had severe constipation because of pain medication I have to take on a daily basis. Had tried stool softners with little effectivenss. After several episodes with an impacted bowel I went to a health food store and spoke with the owner who recommended the magnesium. Since that day (about 2 weeks ago) I have had 1-2 normal BM a day.
