Has anyone tried taking a magnesium supplement? I read an article today that said it can dramatically reduce anxiety/panic symptoms. Want to give it a try but thought I would see if anyone has had any success with it.

Yes, I started magnesium a couple weeks ago. I feel I have had success with it, and I am only taking a small dose of 200 mg. I am working my way up to 400 mg. you have to make sure you get the proper magnesium though. Do not take the magnesium oxide. It does not have enough magnesium to be effective. Use magnesium glycinate or citrate. I am also on buspar (which does next to nothing) and Xanax, but I have been able to lower my Xanax intake to .125 or .25 per day.

I have been on magnesium chelate 600mg since I started taking Nexium. Almost a month or more. I see no help with my anxiety with the magnesium. I cant say for sure, but im pretty positive I wasnt low to begin with, I take it as a precaution because Nexium is known to deplete magnesium levels.

I take magnesium every night, it helps my PVC's. If I don't take it for awhile my pvc's get bad.

I have tried Magnesium a few times and each time, it upsets my intestines to put it politely. Try it when you don't have to be somewhere important.
