I seem to be having new weird symtpoms since i stopped taking ambien, cyclobenzaprine, diclofenac, and lots of vitamins and supps....i've been trying to take only a tramadol when pain is bad or an advil pm when i can's sleep...
i'm reintroducing vitamins and herbs one by one to determine if they help...
so i've been taking chelated magnesium, samE and coQ-10.... is chelated mag the correct one to take? seems to me when i started my lyme cocktail there was another kind of mag that my Lyme naturopath recommended...

I'm taking magnesium malate.

One of the best muscle relaxants is Magnesium glycinate. Pure Encapsulations has a clean one.

Stopping Ambien cold turkey may cause some unwanted symptoms .. same with cyclobenzaprine.
Magnesium glycinate is my favorite.

Thank you!!!
Stopped everything but the Ambien about 2 weeks before i stopped the Ambien - it was a post on here about back pain going away after stopping ambien - since that was the only thing i was still taking i decided to try not taking it....it's been about 2.5 weeks....

I take "calm" at night - it has magnesium in it.
The raspberry lemon tastes good.
Stay within the dose - it can loosen things up...
not a doctor - best news all day.

Are these better than shots?
Mag tab sr,, Isthere more to that wording?

The Calm magnesium has been a life saver for my DD. She had severe insomnia before we stumbled upon this product. She takes more than the recommended doses and doesn't have tummy troubles. I think that's because she is SO deficient in magnesium.
She takes four tsp. and she also takes melatonin with it. It's the first time in a couple of years that she goes right to sleep at a decent hour.

I think it was Keebler that said Walmart carries the Mag tab sr. I've looked twice closely and can't find it.
Anyone know the name brand?

I have to get Walmart to order it, but there are many sources online.
I have CVS order MagTab SR and keep one bottle ahead reserved in the pharmacy storage. Price is close to what I saw on the web.

Ugh. I ran out of magnesium malate 3 days ago and I am waiting for a package of it. I definitely notice the difference! Twitchy legs, weakness and slow bowels.

Magnesium citrate was recommended to me by my chiropractor/nutritionist. It usually gets rid of muscle spasms with just half a 400 mg tab.

magnesium glycinate is what I take. Ortho Molecular or Blue Bonnet are the brands I have tried.
