I’ve been using myself to field test taking my Magnesium Citrate daily for anxiety relief.
I first wrote about this topic almost a month ago– this is the original post: Magnesium for Anxiety & Stress Relief. I wanted to give you an update and let you know my results…
I have been taking 2 Magnesium Citrate capsules per day- one in the morning and one at at night. Each pill is 200mg.
Nothing else has changed about my life in the past month- no medication changes, no big crises per se. I have been going about business as usual and trying to discern whether or not I can feel anything appreciable that I could attribute to my new Magnesium regimen.
And I can say I definitely do feel better! 
For one thing, my night time palpitations are gone. I have had these for years- they are scary and also annoying as hell. My doctor never said much about them since my heart is healthy. And I did get some relief from them by starting a gluten free diet. But after a few months, the palpitations came back with a vengeance. I am telling you they are gone. I want to pinch myself because I really almost don’t believe it.
The other thing that I almost didn’t notice- and this is pretty huge for me– I
am not freaked out that it’s summer.
Summer is a high anxiety time for me and I have bent your ear about it numerous times here on PanicFreeMe. With the heat, the kids home, being around the neighbors, I am usually a ball of nerves suffering in the house and wishing the summer months away.
This year it is different. And again I stress that everything in my life is business as usual. The only thing that is different is that I am now taking Magnesium.
I really think it did something and normalized some of that low level anxiety I always have in the summer.
So that is my experience. Take it with a grain of salt if you like but I am so happy to have found a link between low magnesium and anxiety. And even better, now I am doing something about it. I do feel very good indeed! 
If you like to use natural anti anxiety supplements, remedies, or vitamins, I suggest you to look into taking Magnesium Citrate. Since 80% of women in the US are magnesium deficient and don’t even know it- odds are, you could definitely benefit and get some good anxiety relief!
I wish you peace,
Jill G.
Jill,
I read your last post on magnesium and decided to give it a shot. My anxiety has been under control for the most part, but I have that almost constant uneasiness lurking in the background. I started taking magnesium, and I almost couldn’t believe how much better I felt. Usually, changes in light have a huge impact on me. Now, I notice them but they don’t bother me. I have to admit, I was anticipating this post greatly, to see if this was just a placebo effect or if anyone else had a positive experience too. I’m so glad I signed up for your letter forever ago. It has been one of the greatest tools in overcoming my anxiety. Thank you.
Aw that’s wonderful Kelly! Woo hoo girl! Happy dance!
And so glad to have you along and that you like the newsletter. Bless you! ((Hugs))
Hi Jill,
I too have been taking magnesium for sometime now as I had read about it for both anxiety and migraines(which I sufffer from frequently). I have found there is a difference in both so I definitely make sure I take 2-150mg of it everyday. I take mag. Citrate though as that was what I was recommended as it is more readily available for absorption in the body. Thanks for posting your experience with it.
Hi Kristen,
Good for you- my migraines are much better as well! Yes, you can take magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate or magnesium chloride. Thank you for sharing your success with taking magnesium- I’m very happy for you!
