OMG JL - what an informative post! i never even CONSIDERED that calcium could be contributing to my anxiety, irritablity and agitation (which brought me to this board!)!!!
i take 2,500 calcium for a few reasons - b/c i thought calcium was a sedative / nerve calming + b/c i am thin and osteoperosis runs in the fam and i smoke (on and off) and also , b/c clacium is supposed to help burn fat and i like being thin and strive to stay that way!!...
so - i upped my calcium years ago and at this juncture am a nervous wreck ...googling medications + considering drugs (tried lexapro for two days this week - hated it, now have a rx for WB but have made no decisions - not sure abt going the antiD route) - would rather do vitamins and a benzo as needed.
anyway - your information is huge - i ordered some Mag Glysinate online yesterday - so should be here next week. so how much calcium and how much mag gly. should i take EXACTLY and how far apart. must adnit - am scared to go cold turkey on calcium b/c of it fat burning effects!
also, i wonder what other vitamin overdoses i am taking.???? i take essentail fatty acids + evening prim + flax seed + multi B ...just added extra B1 for panic. also L Lysine (also just added) and Liquid iron (floradix) + herbs. and i just ordered liquid Kyolic w/ B1 and B2 - heard its good for anxiety (via "nutritional healing" book)
thoughts? you are so helpful - i really appreciate it! :)
