MamaOnAMission Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 Anyone try magnesium for sleep and can it be given with lamictal or Prozac?
MomWithOCDSon Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 We give a magnesium/calcium/zinc supplement twice daily, and our DS is also taking lamictal and an SSRI (in our case, Zoloft rather than Prozac). Have neither been warned by a doctor of pharmacist or seen any adverse reactions in combining these, and we've been doing so for at least a year now. As for using magnesium specifically for sleep, we tried a supplement that combined melatonin and magnesium for a while, but didn't really see any difference in that versus regular (and less expensive) melatonin, so we've just stuck with that. 1 to 3 mg., half-hour before bed, has been a godsend!
