hypomagnesemia
"For 2 1/2 months I took buspar 10 mg 3x a day for anxiety. It took the anxiety from a 10 to about a 6, but it never seemed to get better than that. Med manager advised magnesium seems to work for some people to lessen anxiety. I started taking magnesium oxide at 1000 mg/day, which lessened the anxiety but caused lower gastrointestinal issues. Then began taking chelated magnesium glycinate about 800 mg/day which works amazingly well for me. I have weaned off the buspar entirely."
