Sometimes upregulating serotonin can cause panic and anxiety (common side effect of the first week or so of an SSRI or TCA which exlpains the L-tryptophan and imipramine) but I can't really figure out why magnesium would do it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429177284200775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-82170584831792541272012-03-19T12:48:11.834-04:002012-03-19T12:48:11.834-04:00I just discovered your blog by searching "mag...I just discovered your blog by searching "magnesium's affect on neurotransmitters." Will be a regular reader now. Here's the info I'm after: My son, age 9, has ADHD, SPD, Dysgraphia, Gluten-Intolerance. He is having a lot of severe reactions to ADHD meds and anti-depressants. In an effort to find out why he's so resistant to appropriate treatment, we did a Hari Tissue Analysis. It showed all his main mineral ratios were off. When we started supplementation, it made this super-sweet kid very aggressive and violent. I took the supplements away one at a time to find that it was the Cal+Mag+Zinc. Gave just Magnesium and discovered it was the culprit. His Magnesium level tested at 1.8 when it should be 6 though. I have spent hours researching why he would have a negative reaction to Magnesium (and the other supplements, B vitamins give same reaction, L-Tryptophan makes him have extreme panic and fear -- Imipramine caused same reaction). We are trying desperately to figure out why a kid who is low in Magnesium has a bad reaction to it's supplementation (250mg a day). Anyone have any insight? It was also found that he has high levels of mercury in his tissues, which we haven't tackled yet, so I'm wondering if that could be the cause. I am so lost!<br /><br />Penny<br />http://aMomsViewOfADHD.comPenny Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735987174395446789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-87628523075241581462011-05-19T22:03:41.374-04:002011-05-19T22:03:41.374-04:00I've taken magnesium for 2 weeks and love the ...I've taken magnesium for 2 weeks and love the energy and regularity that I have with it.

I'm always jazzed to see conversation around the supplements we can recommend to our Eating Disordered clients with low mood prior to the consideration of meds. I have been suggesting Mg for other reasons so this is delightful to see. I'll be back for more info.<br />Mahalo for being here!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806696907396297728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-66717263723656443462011-03-13T16:10:06.849-04:002011-03-13T16:10:06.849-04:00The only human RCTs of mental-health related magne...The only human RCTs of mental-health related magnesium supplementation used the oxide - but even in one of those studies, the researchers mentioned they would use mg citrate if they did another trial.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429177284200775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-44989677172184788112011-03-12T16:15:39.610-05:002011-03-12T16:15:39.610-05:00BillyE, a patient of Dr Ken Tourgeman, posted at N...BillyE, a patient of Dr Ken Tourgeman, posted at Nephropal that he is using magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) in a spray bottle for 100% absorption. http://nephropal.blogspot.com/2011/03/magnesium-stepchild-of-medicine.html<br /><br />Perhaps you let your Vit D3 supplementation dwindle a little and those nasties brought home from pre-school overwhelmed your immune system!!dexteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512541128451523564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-25265386063721896742011-03-12T08:25:38.979-05:002011-03-12T08:25:38.979-05:00NAture Calm is what I recommend to all my patients...NAture Calm is what I recommend to all my patients. I also tell them Epsom Salts work. There is better absorption transdermally than orally for most Mag compounds. Moreover, if they have a leaky gut it is worse. Remember Phyates bind Mg better than anyother metal!!!! If you use oral Mg supplements I use malate and acetate because they work best in the face of microvilli damage. And if your treating mental illness they likely have a leaky gut too.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126132841611727249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-30179164190211777152011-03-12T07:02:22.945-05:002011-03-12T07:02:22.945-05:00Vl - it is confusing.

Other amino acid chelates are bioavailable but more expensive. Also, probably want to avoid aspartate. Then there are the lotions, and the fizzy drinks. Nephropal had a great post a while back that is still linked (I think) from one of my magnesium posts. Oxide in fizzy tablet is highly bioavailable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429177284200775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-35625068280308705172011-03-11T17:00:54.737-05:002011-03-11T17:00:54.737-05:00I keep meaning to look into Magnesium more, specif...I keep meaning to look into Magnesium more, specifically what type people should take.
