So, I've been drinking Natural Calm every night (for about 1 year or so) before bed and it was the only thing that helped my insomnia.
However, just last week my LLMD wanted me to switch to magnesium glycinate. Start with 100mg and work my way up each week until bowel distress then back off.
I've been taking 100mg a couple hours before bed for a week now and I'm having insane dreams. High stress/nightmare-ish/panic dreams that wake me up every night.
I try to go back to sleep but it just keeps happening.
Anyone have any idea? I've googled some and found that this could be a side effect?
I am definitely so drug sensitive. I have to start on tiny, baby doses of everything and have crazy reactions to meds most of the time.
Just wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge with this?
(I posted this on the Magnesium thread earlier, but Keebler suggested I post on a new thread. Thank you Keebler)

MAYBE it has something to do with oxalates. Glycinate is high oxalate, which can cause a myriad of problems.
Does your formula include more B6? B6 can cause vivid dreams.

Thanks for replying Lymetoo. I'm just taking Solgar Chelated Magnesium.
