I once found myself becoming much, much more depressed when I tried taking calcium supplements. My depression was exacerbated within an hour of taking it. It took a few hours for me to recover.
Magnesium and calcium are often placed in antagonistic roles throughout the nervous system, particularly at terminal buttons (presynaptic nerve endings).
So, I was thinking that if calcium made me feel worse, maybe magnesium would make me feel better. Of course, any magnesium supplement used must not contain calcium. I'll pick some up next time I'm at the pharmacy.
Any comments?
