In reply to For those who feel MORE depressed w. magnesium..., posted by Mistermindmasta on September 11, 2005, at 23:34:22
Hi MMM,
I have been taking Magnesium pretty regularly for about a year and a half. I think it is one of the best supplements I have taken. Actually, I think most supplements I've tried have been a waste of money. Magnesium has been very helpful; however, I have to take it at night. I did try it a few times during the day, and I was a slug and, yes, somewhat physically depressed. I've also discovered that if I take it too late at night (i.e., in the early morning hours), I can be depressed the following day. In that respect, it's a bit like an anxiolytic or a sleeping pill. I have to take it early enough at night in order for it to have the desired effect. If I take it past 2:00 a.m., I feel physically depressed the following day.
I prefer Magnesium glycinate, but Magnesium citrate is also good. Magnesium Oxide doesn't do anything for me that I'm aware of.
Thanks for your post. It was very interesting.
S.
