"I started this medicine at the suggestion of my D.O. as my magnesium levels were very low and I had bad leg cramps. It did help the cramps quite a bit, and my blood levels did return to normal. However, I began to have bad bouts of nausea and vomiting and occasional diarrhea that I had to take additional medication to stop. I took 400 mg but was never advised to take it with food."

"I took magnesium glycinate for months with no problem. When I ran out of it, I bought this one (magnesium oxide) because it was a lot cheaper. Pretty soon, I started having a weird cramp in my calves when I walked. I stopped taking it for two weeks, no cramps. I started it again and had cramps immediately (only when walking). So I went ahead and bought the more expensive glycinate, and sure enough, I haven't had any cramps. Weird! But I won't take this one ever again."
