Extreme Irritability, what works for me

[Guest guest]

Hello.

Here are a few things that usually help me out when I want to rip the head

off of any animate or inanimate object due to extreme irritability.

First, I increase my magnesium intake. I normally dissolve a teaspoon of

magnesium citrate powder into my quart sized water bottle, then drink

through the day, as needed. I usually drink 2-3 bottles of this a day.

When I need more magnesium, I apply a product called magnesium oil (it's not

really an oil) that is reported to be much much more bioavailable than oral

magnesium.

This usually helps quite a bit, but if it doesn't, an acupuncture treatment

is very relieving of stress, and I mellow out quite a bit. If I am out of

alignment in my neck or back, I will go see my upper cervical chiropractor

and that ALWAYS gives me tremendous relief from aches, pains and emotional

upsets like irritability. If you are interested in chiropractic, try

finding one that adjusts the atlas. I cannot say enough about how much this

has improved my quality of life.

Finally, what helped me generally improve my moods and emotions was to

increase my 5-HTP and tyrosine intake. These are both precursors for

crucial neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine, respectively).

Dave,

Where do you get your magnesium citrate powder?

I found a combination Ca, Mg, vit D powder at iherb,

but I thought someone said to take Ca and mg at different times.

Tk,

Can you think of any reason not to use this one as a source of Mg?

FOR TK: I use a magnesium product called Natural Calm which is a highly

absorbable form of magnesium citrate.
