Milk of Magnesia

[karenp]

Does any one put this in a glass of milk? I have been taking it three days now and it does seem to help but I over did it yesterday and was sick during the night and have needed the loo a lot, lol. I usually have the opposite prob though.
Do you get the full calming effect right away or does it get better with use???? I'm finding it really is helping me though during the day time and helps me sleep though my GP has just given me Vallium and some antihistamine pills but I am trying to get off benzo's as have been on Ativan for 3 years nearly and have become tolerant to it so trying more natural things.

This form of magnesium is aimed at your stomach so its less effective in terms of being used for anxiety than other forms because the others are more likely to work in other areas and can be increased without affecting your bowels in thr process. Stay away from citrate though as that is a laxative form of magnesium and oxide turns into Milk of Magnesia when it hits the water in your stomach.

There are some helpful threads around about magnesium:
