The WalMart by me charges $9.99 for SlowMag brand. I don't think that is a very high price today. It used to be 19.99, when it first came out, then $15.99 and now it is almost as affordable as the generic Mag64.
The Vit D on Rx from doctors is D2, and now we know it doesn't work. You seem to be doing better on the D3, so keep up with that.
The lotion available now ( I am still using my CVS product that was discontinued), is Epsom-It. It has the same formula it appears. YOu will want the body lotion version, which does not have fragrance added. Also there is a cream called Magnesium Sulfate cream by Kirkman. It tends to be more expensive for a smaller amount. Both are online if you Google them.
I really do like the lotion form. I use it on my wrists and inner arms at night. The skin is thinnest on the wrists and inner arms. I also use it on my left foot and ankle when it swells up. It helps me sleep, lowers my blood pressure, and in general keeps muscle cramps at bay.

Back maybe 4/5 years ago, had vit D tested and came back with <10. Started taking the 50,000 units 1/wk for a month but never had any followup (kaiser). Continued testing by new rhemo showed it up to about 15. Given another month treatment. Year latter still in 20's. Figured out that need to take daily. I take 10,000 units D3 daily. Am followed by my hormone Dr. every 6 months. Was still low in dec and had it upped to 15k. Went back to 10k during summer. Last results were in the 60's (and I get the D3 at Walmart-5k units-I remember someone asking about quality of Walmart supplements and this one does work and for a really good price). Have not been able to find Magnesium lotion anywhere! Would diluting epsom salts in regular lotion have the same effect? Just reaching for anything that would help....
Thanks for the replies everyone!
