Nightmares from cal/mag supplement

Firebird Rising · 02-25-2012, 01:27 PM

Now what?

Since I started taking cal/mag, I've had this two hour period before falling deeply to sleep and having nightmares, then again in the morning for the last hour or so before getting up. I have googled and seen this is not uncommon.

Should I just stop taking it? I was hoping for a more restful sleep.

Yikes, that is weird.

I started giving my girls cal/mag because it got rid of their nightmares. Never heard of it causing them.

Are you taking it specifically to help you sleep? Or for other issues?

Caused nightmares for me too.

I don't know why. Even if I took it in the daytime...instant nightmares. Weirdness.

When I *have* to sleep , I use Benadryl.

Not exactly 'natural' , okay , not 'natural' in any way.

But it works.

Cal/mag had an...interesting correlation to some...interesting mental health issues on my part as well

. Just calcium alone might be better
