I've been taking low dose Milk of Magnesia as suggested in another forum. They said it is like Nature's Valium and has a relaxing and calming effect and works as a muscle relaxer as well. They recommended it to be the cheapest form of magnesium, and it is quickly absorbed because it is liquid. I use the wild cherry flavor. It tastes great too. I started taking it to help with my tapering off of Tramadol in prep of getting on LDN. I've gone down slowly from 200 mgs of Tramadol a day to approximately 62.5 mgs so far. I sometimes boost it with a Tylenol. I've had somepretty uncomfortable moments during this taper especially for the three days following each time I go down more,which is about once every 7 to 14 days, but it's been tolerable with the help of N-A-C, DLPA and vitamin C( thanks to suggestions from members here), M o M, flax and fish oils and turmeric. I take other supplements as well , but I

mention the ones most helping with pain, stiff muscles and inflammation. I hope the last leg of this taper doesn't get to bad. It's a little scary. I welcome any support from those who've been down this road successfully. Where are you folks? Talk to me either here or PM my email. I can't wait to be off the Tramadol so I can start the LDN. I will be getting LDN on my own as I have no Dr. who wants to know about it...UGH!!!!! I'm not waisting my time with them at this point! Back to the magnesium....I take 1 Teaspoon of M o M in the morning and right before bed time, I take 1 Tsp along with a potassium pill. I also keep a few bars of soap in my bed near my legs to help avoid restless leg which from what I've read, can happen in withdrawal. This amount of M o M has not caused any diahareha, as a matter of fact it has normalized me. I have suffered with UC, diverticulitis,

and chronic constipation for years now and this protocol has had an added benefit of calming those symptoms down. I like thousands of others had no idea that Tramadol was just like a narcotic and feel "duped " to find I am now having to put myself through a slow detox to get off of it. I was assured as so many others were that Tramadol was non-addictive when I first started taking it for Chronic back and neck pain, Fibro and UC over 10 yrs ago.

Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.

Hi ,Magnesium deficiency is said to be fairly widespread in the U.S., and it never occurred to me that MOM could be used as a source of that mineral. Thanks for that tip.While you are waiting to take LDN, you may find these sites of interest:http://tinyurl.com/39b3svandhttp://www.webspawner.com/users/ecsuctx/index.htmlWith best wishes,Dudley Delany
