Mrs. D
Wow.

Thanks for all those links.

I take 1 teaspoon of Magnesium Citrate every night (from the produect Natural Calm). I take it in part to deal with the constipating effects of the Verapamil.
I also hoped that the Magnesium was doing other good things.

Thanks again for the vit D and Verpamil info.

Good news from that above link:

The magnesium-verapamil combination may have clinical application as an adjunct to verapamil in the maintenance therapy of mania.
