Should I take magnesium without being on antibiotics?

So basically a long story short... I was getting dizziness while on amoxicillin so i was taken off of it and then got really bad gastrointestinal symptoms that we figured was caused from the long term antibiotic use. Now I am having bad muscle/facial twitches, insomnia, confusion and basically alot of other symptoms that are common in Magnesium deficiencies (im trying to rule out anything worse) and i know how common these deficiencies are in lyme patients.

Now my question is, should I be taking magnesium supplements while im not taking anibiotics??? Will the magnesium just make my lyme stronger because it feeds off of the mineral?

Ps i would have called my llmd but its the week end so basically im kind of just gathering opinions cuz its getting to the point where its scary and needs to be figured out =P

Thank you very much!!!!

I had horrible leg cramps, which were mostly resolved by Magnesium. I take it regardless, no matter what else I'm taking.

Thank you guys for the replies!!! I have tried slowly taking a magnesium supplement but it seems like every time i take some my muscle twitches and heart pounding get worse!!! Even just a couple hours after taking it!
Has anyone else had this problem???
