I thought that I had gotten "recommendations" on magnesium dosages for depression from the below site. Somewhere on this huge page .. I was sure that I had read of those higher doses. But I am seeing, somewhere at the beginning, where he is only advocating 1200 total daily. (Obviously need to cut back on what I am giving him .. )
H's primary doc is a dolt too. He is the one that ordered those tests wrong. H goes to this doc only because of ease .. he is close to our home. (wrong reason to go to a doc .. I know!)
If I "forget" the mirapex, H is beside himself with the RLS symptoms. I personally wonder if it is more psychological than actually physical? I have forgotten both his ambien and mirapex (ONCE) in the past. Wow, talk about a sleepless night for both of us!
There is evidence out there that antidepressants bring on RLS. Considering the high dose of Effexor H is on .. I think that that was the initial contributing factor.
I am currently on an iodine protocol supervised by my dr. Since I began this protocol, I have had my husband on 25mgs of iodoral daily. Although I haven't seen in an improvement in his mood from this, there has been a definite improvement with his asthma symptoms. He has always (in the past) had to make several trips to the ER for breathing treatments. He has not had to make even one trip since he began on the iodine.
Oh .. that's another thing, that is not helpful in H's situation. He has asthma and uses his inhalers too much (because he smokes.) I think that the inhalers are damaging him also. (Along with the smoking of course..)
