@ Rick: Magnesium can be sedating (or relaxing) to some people. It also dilates blood vessels, more so for those contracted to some extent to begin with.
I always put my mag lotion on at night. And that is when I used to take my SlowMag also. You might lower your dose, or split it up during the day (which more approximates how magnesium is derived from food eaten). Or you might want to try the new topical form...Morton's. Enough does get into the blood stream if you apply it correctly. I rub mine into my wrists and inner arms where the veins show...for systemic absorption. It has been very helpful for me this way. If I remember correctly you are using that ACE inhibitor still? That can be additive...since yours is one that enters the brain. Since you use an ACE inhibitor, also, you may have some lowering of blood pressure as well. Can you take your pressures daily... before and after using magnesium? That may reveal something. Once I quit the evil lisinopril, my mind cleared up considerably and I had much more energy. Not to mention I got my life back too.

I went from 3 strong BP drugs to one little dose of beta blocker daily after my lisinopril reaction crisis. I am a new person. No more weird orthostatic events, no more dizziness for no reason, and I can breathe much better too. Thanks for the story, pabb.

Thanks Mrs D. I won't give up then. As to your question re ACE inhibitors, I quit lindopril some time back and need to update my profile. I can't blame the magnesium anymore I guess.

There are some articles on magnesium use in Alzheimer's...like this one. http://www.ihealthtube.com/aspx/article.aspx?id=3466 Ionized means it is easily soluble and absorbed from the GI tract.

Thanks Chemar..... Some people just won't go to WalMart.
(my husband's friend gave me grief about that!)... We told her to suck it up, hold her nose, run in the pharmacy door, pay, and run out and it would be over in flash! LOL I looked it up and see that there are zone pricing issues, so I don't know what the price range would be for people. Zone pricing means stores within the chain charge various prices depending on the clientele. We have alot of that here.
