In reply to Magnesium in the morning causing my tiredness?, posted by hok on February 11, 2003, at 16:51:12
hok:
It's hard to know why the magnesium seems to make you tired. It is likely that it might potentiate the meds you take (but I dont know which ones those are) OR do the opposite, diminish their effects. I find that Mag tends to enhance my SSRI, and so I take Magnesium about an hour or two after I take my SSRI. This seems to be enough time to avoid any interference, and it still gives me that relaxed feeling for most of the day.
So maybe try it and see? I try to avoid taking all my pills and vits at once because it just seems to decrease their efficacy. The neural pathways just seem to get jammed, for lack of a better metaphor.
