I'm wondering if it would be relevant to my son so I wonder what the signs of high ammonia are? Thanks - sorry for the basic questions. I have SO MUCH to learn.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was told to take magnesium to help me sleep (I have trouble partly because I am in some pain, not too bad but it keeps me in one position). I bought magnesium oxide, calcium, and vitamin D all in one capsule, and I have taken two capsules each night (thus 250 mg of magnesium, 500 of calcium, and 200 of D). I get calcium and D from other sources too during the day. It has enabled me to sleep deeply, but I keep awakening, then I get back to sleep, but I have horrible dreams. The next day I still feel tired. I am also taking the antidepressant Cymbalta (40mg). I take it just before going to bed, but last night I took it two hours before thinking that might yield better results. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong? Should I take a different kind of magnesium or not take it with calcium and D? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi , My neighbor used to take Cymbalta but had to stop because she said it gave her horrible nightmares. They stopped when she discontinued the Cymbalta. Maybe this is what is causing your horrible dreams? Perhaps there is something else that will work for you. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 No I doubt that would cause any issues, if it is in pill form it has already been proccessed! Our son cant swallow pills at all and so we take most supplements, chop them or sprinkle(powder form) write in food he swallows(that he doesnt chew). A lot of pills just pass write through anyways, so It is better to crush/chop it up to help with the digestion of it. I have seen other forms of magnesium, oxide, citrate in powder forms. I feel it would be better for you to crush the pills!! Jennie<>< sabels_4 <nmsabel@...> wrote: I am giving my son mag glycinate.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Both my daughters with autism use Magnesium Glycinate and it has been great for constipation. It is in a capsule.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thank you. I actually found these and am using them for one of his doses. I need to dump 2 caps into a larger one just to minimize the amount of pills he's taking each morning, but it's better than those HUGE tablets. I've gotten kind of good at smashing those and pushing it into a capsule. OY, the things we do to get stuff in our kids!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Kirkman labs makes a sweet powder called Buffered Magnesium Glycenate that you can mix with water.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Water Oz makes liquid mineral supplements. I have found best prices for these supplements at www.kornax.com. This brand was recommended to us by our alt med doc. No taste at all. Put it in anything.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 We tried the magnesium sulfate cream from Kirkrman's for the first time last night. The girl that has been watching the boys during the summer reported to my wife that K. was " the most calm she has ever seen him " today. Co-incidence? We'll see I guess, but I know that the word " calm " has never never never been used to describe them before and that's what the magnesium is supposed to do and the baby-sitter had no idea that we were doing anything different. So far, I'm a believer. > > You can buy liquid Magnesium supplement from New Beginnings Nutritionals in > Kansas.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wow... that sounds right up my alley, since my son has a hard time taking things orally.
