Thanks very much for sharing!
No problem! Oh, also: drink tons of water everyday. I keep a refillable water bottle with me at all times and go through at least 3 daily. Dehydration will cause issues.
Oh, and lastly, look into taking magnesium glycinate or magnesium taurate at night. Stimulants will sap it from your body, and it will cause muscle tightness and especially a tense jaw/teeth clenching at night! It can lead to headaches, too. Taking it will replenish your magnesium supply and cure those issues.
Holy crap thank you, I’ve been having the most confounding muscle tightness ever since my dose was raised and I never figured out why. I’ll look into those magnesium supplements and let my doc know too, thanks for the tip
God, it’s awful, right?? I’m upset that not a lot of medicated folks know about the magnesium thing! It really does have an affect on your life. Best part is, when you take it, you typically get relief in like 20 minutes or so!
Magnesium oxide & magnesium citrate are not great to take. Oxide has a wildly poor absorption rate, and will typically just make you have diarrhea instead of doing what it’s supposed to. Citrate taken long-term will actually make it so your body builds a tolerance to your meds. I’m not exactly sure why, but it does.
Definitely bring it up to your doctor! Super glad I mentioned it.
