I took glycinate for a while. Deep sleep with lots of dreams. But soon followed extreme pressure in head with severe headache that i completely stopped.
my own anecdotal experience with magnesium : i was generally prone to leg cramps even when young that usually subsides when i take salty water. i had developed hyperthroidism in late 90s that was treated eventually with radio-iodide. subsequently i went into hypothyroid state. soon after was a violent cramps episode which became regular that even if i took few hundred steps my legs would start cramping up. A steep descent into quality of life had me try many many tests as the initial suspicion was some kind of clot. Quite painful nerve conduction velocity tests were done. I was the subject of academic curiosity at stanford hospital. I was on codeine and other pain medications. After a year of this, one day happened to talk to a regular doctor (no specialization), who treats patients from asian subcontinent. He said that i may have magnesium deficiency which was apparently common for my ethnic background. Since by that time i had tried everything, this was an easy choice. Just a couple of weeks in with cal-mag citrate (400mg/day), felt something different in my legs and the whole nigthmare just lifted. I was able to return to hikes etc and would only occasionally need magnesium. It has been 2 decades since, and i dont take magnesium anymore and do strenous workouts and never again triggered any cramps episode.
we tried many avenues here as well
1.vitamin deficiency (she is vitamin D deficient, but it seems common in my race - asian 2. iron deficiency 3. gave magnesium for a while
4. someone diagnosed her for adhd and others disagreed 5. tested for autism. 6. tested for thyroid 7. took some T3/T4
For a person (my daughter) who has tried everything under sun (except ECT and psilocybin)for depression and OCD and nothing ever seemed to help, what is the latest on treatment horizon?
years ago doing similar thing found out my type2 diabetes when i was 24. It has been a life saver since i am able to manage it before any complication.
