Anyone else get this from magnesium? I ended up scrambling around in the middle of the night for some calcium pills - I took like a whole gram of the stuff and finally the palpitations quietened down and I got to sleep. Scarey stuff.

I've been taking Magnesisum Taurate for about a month now and it has had a miraculous effect upon my depression and anxiety. My mood is FAR more stable than it's ever been and I've gone from 4mg of Klonopin/day to 1mg/day. I also supplement it with Taurine which helps with stability too. And I know none of this is the result of a placebo effect because last week I ran out of my magnesium taurate and was off of it for about 4 days - well, my anxiety SKYROCKETED and I was crying and very unstable.
Magnesium has been a miracle supplement for me. What I can't understand is why doctors don't recommend this to patients.
The Magnesium Miracle I call it.
