Also too much taurine has bad effects on me - indeed too much of ANY amino seems to have really unbalancing effects, and to take enough magnesium that would mean a whole lot of taurine.

I have NO idea why that is, but it is. Maybe I am not like everyone else and actually need calcium with the mg? I haven't noticed increased depression with the calcium, but then I am taking the Mg with it, so maybe that is why.

Everything is all messed up in me, but I do have to say that I did sleep better and the muscles did relax a bit when I tried the magnesium. Also had it injected and that put me right to sleep and relaxed the body well, but it also made my heart do a dance.
