Hi, I guess I punched the no message button, and nothing posted.
My wife has osteoporosis, and major depression. I'm trying to get her to take magnesium, and perhaps Sam-E, and fish-oil. She takes Oscal daily, 500 mg of calcium. The magnesium tablets I bought are for 200 mg or magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide. She already takes 100 mg daily from a multivitamin tablet.
Is she taking enough magnesium to affect depression, or does she need to take more. I've read calcium reductions maybe necessary, but...with osteoporosis, can she really reduce calcium?
Anybody know about Sam-E. My wife takes Effexor, and she's still on 75 mg a day. Does Sam-e, or magnesium, fish oil, etc., interfere with Effexor or cause side effects in combination with it?
Many thanks,
Nickm
