I think it's working well for me. I kind of stumbled upon it, not knowing what to expect. The article said it was an energizer and to take it in the am. Not so. It had a definite relaxing effect on me, contrary to what I was expecting, but more in line of what it's supposed to do. Did some more research and read about it's stabilizing effect on electric potentials, acting like an anti-convulsant/mood stabilizer. I'm currently using it along with lithium and feel the two work well together. I take 2G twice a day.
Another note of interest is that magnesium comes in a taurate form, which is purportedly a good form for depression and fibromyalgia. I've been using it for a few months. Can't say I've noticed anything dramatic, but the theory behind it appeals.
