Thanks.
In your multi how much zinc is there ..elemental zinc prefereably?I looked back at when I had those vivid dreams (not nigtmares, just a weird dream).
It was end of September.
I found out it was the day my estrogen levels were highest..so for starters I had enough estrogen. So it looks like you probably have enough estrogen <g>Also that night before bed I'd taken some liquid iron and a multi..normally I'd only take these in the morning, but I was trying to lift myself out of a deep depression..that bit worked, but I got the dreams<g> (not that I minded)
So if you take your multi at night..swap it to morning. ...also with any iron(there may be some in your multi)..morning preferably.
Also I'd run out of my P5P about 2 weeks before.
As I said in my last post, I think you need some P5p B6 maybe.
In the US you can buy this from a lot of places.
Iherb have a one I was taking.
http://www.iherb.com/p5p1.html
but there are others.
You have to get one that is enteric coated or one you dissolve under your tongue should also work.If you try the one I was taking..just drop all the other magnesium. (its got enough in it for you daily dose).
So if I it was me, I'd drop the magnesium and go and buy some P5P like this and try that with your other things.
Let me know if you do and it works!I'm unsure what lutein does as I've never tried it.
SJW could possibly cause nightmares,..I think I had some when I was on it, but its too long ago for me to remember. Perhaps some others who have tried it can comment on whether they had nightmares on it:)
Also I thinks its fine to take calcium and magnesium together..but iron(as in a multi) should be taken at least 4 hrs away from calcium.
I always take my calcium before bed for this reason..plus it does help with sleep too, then the multi in the morning.
B6 is something we females tend to lack..we pee it out a lot more than males in our urine apparently (told this by a gyno-urologist)
So maybe give that a go? andlet me know how it goes? There are other thigs you can try to lift your depression as well if that doesn't work.
Also the B6 (P5P form preferably) should stop that bloating..it is a mild diuretic. It ALWAYS for me like that.
