Sunnysideup Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I used this website to successfully taper off of welbutrin about 5 years ago. Been on a magnesium bishlycinate chelate ever since. Ran out in April and didn’t think about it. Hindsite shows me that for about a month my brain was over processing on a problem I was manic to solve. I solved it. It was fantastic. Never felt so ALIVE until the lack of quality sleep became problematic. It honestly was best described as good mania which I have never experienced. Connected the sleep to the lack of magnesium. Started back up with a new brand and think I may have doubled my old dose. Sleep improved but became apathetic. 3 days ago I halved my dose. Sleep is good. Caring about life came back. I’m hoping with time the life and energy returns as I figure out the best dose. Anyone else come to this realization? That magnesium is really doing something to our brains??? I honestly didn’t really know what to think but after the last month something is definitely going on. Link to post
