I had been suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome for years. Started taking Magnesium and the night pain went away. When I stopped taking Magnesium pain would come back. Things I noticed about taking Magnesium. -Was waking up at 3:00 am and had hard time getting back to sleep. Read Magnesium give you energy. Started taking it in morning and I started sleeping thourgh the night and the still had no leg pain at night. -I am trying to eat more foods rich in Magnesium. I was taking a supplement with Magnesium/Calcium/D3 and 3 weeks ago switched to a 500 mg of Magnesium. Now I am not sleeping well. Wake up at 2:00 am and wide awake. I believe I am getting too much Magnesium. I am going to switch to a 250 mg pill. I read we only need 425 mg of magnesium daily. Too much Magnesium supplement is not good for our body.

My husband was taking Ropinerole as he has Parkinsons and this helped his RLS.The Consultant then discontinued his Ropinerole as it was making him too sleepy. I visited our local Health Food Store and purchased a magnesium oil spray.Better You.He has used this for six months with perhaps only one minor return of RLS. I would consider that his RLS would not have been described as severe.

Within a week the pain subsided and has disappeared after a of couple month's use of 500 milligrams each evening. However, it is time to cut back, as diarrhea has been a concern. Until I read this website, I did not know that magnesium caused this issue. I hope I can find a balance at 250 milligrams.

I take 500 mg of Magnesium to help me with my restless leg syndrome, anxiety, and to help me sleep. When I stop taking it, my RLS almost immediately returns and my sleep suffers. It's the only treatment I have found to help me with RLS. Even Rx drugs dont work or the side effects are too severe to take them.
