Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bev, I googled " magnesium and migranes " it said at one of the websites that almost all people that have migranes are low in magnesium. I did not read on further but if you google it, I am sure you will find some answers.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bev, Yeah that's what I meant but I phrased it confusingly. Jumping around at stuff, my appologies. All I was trying to say it that a symptom of Trazodone is muscle pain. Perhaps you could look into trying another version (if one or some exist) so you don't experience this side effect. because that's what you say you are taking the magnesium for. Re: Health care topic I don't take Trazodone for pain, I take that for depression & sleep, It's the only think that helps me sleep.. I take the magnesium for pain..it's supposed to help pain..

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I typed in the words " magnesium and migranes " It was the 4th or 5th item down the list where it talked about migranes caused by low magnesium. I know I am spelling migranes wrong but that is the way I type it in and still got the info. How do you spell it anyway! I tried several spellings and my computer is still telling me its wrong.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 look at http://www.magnesiumforlife.com 500mg is not too much. 750mg is not fatal! the chloride form of magnesium is preferred, also transdermal. melatonin is usually sold in milligrams like 1-5. Gracia , The reasons I am taking it is it's suppose to help with muscle pain and help not constipate me from my calcium. Now I'm finding out it's suppose to help with sleeping too so I sure can use that.. I take Trazodone 250 mg. a night for sleep and depression & all that and I just added 600 mcgs. of Melatonin recently and I can tell a difference with that but I could use some more help with it. So its' for a few reasons. 500 mg a day too much? Bev > Hi Bev, how are you doing? I only take magnesium on occasion when I'm having > a particularly stressful day or something.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 the transdermal mag chloride seems to bypass this problem. Gracia Hi Bev, I get diarrhea (SP?) which is one of the symptoms of getting more than you need. That is why I take it only several times a week rather than everyday. It seems to work for me.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I like estrogen, progesterone and melatonin for sleep. Gracia Bev, I can't sleep either because of FMS, and I take Ambien 10mgs. It works like a charm. I have been taking it for years now, and I haven't found the need to take more and it's a gift to be able to sleep.
