Hey everyone. Last week I went to a natural nurtritionist. They gave me a diet list, and a supplement list. I'll post the list later, but I wanted to ask about magnesium. This was a supplement that was on the list.

The first day I opened the capsule and emptied about half of it. I felt fine that day. The next day, I took a whole one. I noticed I felt off the rest of the day. It's hard to describe but just wierd. Then yesterday I took a whole one also. I started to have a euphoric feeling, plus a sick feeling at the same time. It was really uneasant, and it lasted about 30 minutes to an hour. Then it got better, and was less the rest of the day.

I took 100mg day before yesterday and yesterday. The suggested serving is 200mg.

Can Magnesium cause a euphoric/sick feeling? Here's a photo of the supplement.

Yes it is possible. The magnesium citrate can alter perspectives. It is also hard on the stomach. By the way magnesium malate is not digestable or absorbable. The most readily available with the least symptoms is amino acid chelated magnesium.  I will see what other info I can find.

Confirmed. By the way, taking magnesium should never be done without a blood magnesium levels determined before use. High magnesium levels can cause a number of nasty side effects not the least of which is a lack of calcium. Magnesium and calcium compete with each other in the blood stream. Too much magnesium means too little calcium and a host of other issues. I took magnesium for several years to keep my restless leg under control. It worked great. Recently my blood tests have shown my blood magnesium levels slowly climbing and my calcium declining. I began slowing my magnesium intake until things returned to a normal balance.

Thanks FH. It was the magnesium. I stopped it and it cleared up in a day.

How can I get my blood work tested for magnesium, zinc and B vitamins? Just ask the dr.?

[fishinghat]

Yep He/she should be willing to do the tests.

I know this is an old topic, but you should be able to get a blood test at least once a year during or after your annual physical.

magnesium is able to reduce duloxetine plasma level.
there are also other nutritions with effect on dulox elimination f.e. inuline (chicory), caffeine, types of cabbage, turmeric.

mostly caused by an impact on cyp1A2 which breaks down dulox.

This is true but many of those have terrible side effects during Cymbalta withdrawal. If you think you have anxiety now just try a cup of caffeinated coffee at the same time. WOW!!!
