Do not get magnesium OXIDE, it is not absorbed and is a laxative.
This is my magnesium thread:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread1138.html
Start at 1/2 the RDA which is about 200mg, elemental.
Any chelate is okay
gluoconate
citrate (may be laxative too)
lactate
malate
taurate
carbonate
or chloride which is called SlowMag, or Mag64-- two of these a
day is a typical dose of this type.
Magnesium OXIDE is in many things, so read your labels carefully. Do not get any with "mixture" of magnesiums in it.
OXIDE is the primary ingredient in the mixtures too.
If you use gabapentin or Lyrica you cannot take the magnesium at the same time as either of those. You have to space them out.
