Hey Bubblehead:
Just to update my progress with the magnesium supplementation. I went up to 325mg per day (from 250mg) of Mag. Citrate and stayed off supplemental calcium, for 5 days. Not much headache and no draggy feeling, no irritation either.
The headache I had just came by the end of the day and very light and dull.
I then increased the mag to 500mg for past 2 days...and Hey Presto!! (what a geeky saying) no headache at all. Seem to be feeling a little sleepy though. I hope this is unrelated or just an adjustment reaction.
I encourage you to give it a try , if you haven't already :).
And, to answer your question...yes I'm married. It's been tough at times, but my husband has been great. He wasn't until he witnessed me having a total breakdown anxiety attack, raging at myself in the mirror, pacing around the house babbling, collapsing on the floor crying. And then another day, just suddenly leaving work because something wasn't going right and I got it into my head that I needed pictures on the wall at work. I left work and drove into town, drove to my husband's workplace, marched in and said "where are the calendars?" (I wanted to frame some of the pictures). He was so shocked and upset at me behaving in such a bizarre way that he realized "something was truly wrong" and he came to my next psych appt. Who explained what was going on with me and my severe GAD. Since then he's been SOOOOOO wonderful. Very tolerant of the irritation and anxiety and all the med experiments.
I wish you the same luck in your marriage.
Take care,
Jas
