Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Dear , You said: <<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...>> ** It could manifest differently in every individual regardless whether thay took an SSRI or not. With magnesium doing so many things in the body, this manifests in ways of which people aren't even aware. It is not specifically recommended for people who have taken SSRIs. It is specifically recommended for people who have taken drugs that deplete or block the assimilation of magnesium or people showing signs of magnesium deficiency.

It's been great to have no tingling in my hands and feet, and I've been able to exercise each day, something I haven't been able to do for a long time due to aching muscles. Thankyou again!

I'm also taking Inositol, Fish oil, Lethicin and drink or put whey protein in a lot of my foods a couple of times a day. Whey protein has a lot of amino acids in it. I'm hoping that what they say about Fish oil rings true also. I read that it improves mood. I will see in the long run if it does or not ) So far so good.
