Hi Taylor,
> Was hoping you'd come back around here; you were gone for awhile.Thanks for the kind words. I've been swamped (and I still am) with projects that demand my full attention. Therefore, I've had to discipline myself to be a "read-only" PB participant until these projects are behind me. I scan the boards every other day or so to try to keep track of how people are doing, and I scan for information on meds and supplements that are potentially applicable to my situation. These boards serve me well when it comes to med/supplements information. For example, it was posts by viridis (and others) that first alerted me to the possible benefits of l-theanine ( http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030301/msgs/205138.html ). And, of course, I have to scan the admin board to keep up on the daily soaps.
> I read a post in the Safe Harbor group about L-Theanine causing psychosis in an individual so inclined.Interesting. Do you have a link you can post?
> Have you personally tried Magnesium?Yes, magnesium is a very important part of my cocktail. I’ve taken magnesium for a long time. I currently take 600 mg (measured as elemental magnesium) every night at bedtime. It is a GREAT sleep aid; I fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly. I believe the magnesium helps my brainchemistry directly via biochemical mechanisms and it also helps my brainchemistry indirectly via the improved sleep.
> I just ordered a bottle of Magnesium Natural Calm Tea, as it looks to be the best form.
I don’t know anything about Magnesium Natural Calm Tea. I currently take a combination of magnesium malate, magnesium citrate, and magnesium glycinate (200 mg/night of each). Larry Hoover and JLx (among others) know a lot about magnesium. You might ask them if you have questions.
