Yes, I have had/am having success using magnesium for depression. It's the best thing I've ever used. I started using magnesium glycinate after I first read this guy's webpage 3 years ago: http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html I started taking about 800 mg a day of magnesium glycinate, and also cut out calcium rich foods (mostly dairy) from my diet for awhile.
I've experimented with other kinds of magnesium: magnesium citrate, magnesium orotate, magnesium malate, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) and now usually take magnesium taurate and/or magnesium orotate.
I take about 3-600 mg/day nowadays. It noticeably makes a difference in my mood, especially related to stress.
