Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 What exactly does magnesium supplements do? I have been told that Paxil depletes magnesium. But what adverse reactions does this shortage cause in relation to anxiety, etc? > Dear , > > > > You said: > > > <<What is the typical dose for anxiety?

It is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses, muscular activity, temperature regulation, detoxification reactions, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth. It is a cofactor for oxidative phosphorylation in the production of ATP(energy production), and plays a crucial role in the synthesis of DNA and RNA. It is required for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as activity related to calcium, phosphorus, and Vit C.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 OK so how would magnesium deficiency manifest itself in relation to those taking SSRIs as opposed to those not taking SSRIs. I am trying to determine why it is specifically recommended for patients on SSRIs. There must be some particular symptoms it counter-acts... thanks > Dear , > > > > You said: > > > <<What exactly does magnesium supplements do? I have been told that > Paxil depletes magnesium.
