An important bit of information regarding magnesium aipllents is that the cheap stuff, such as oxides and stearates, have a very low bioavailability. Some can be as low as 4%, leaving 96% of the supplement to serve as little more than a laxative/stool softener.

I haven't found a way around the gastrointestinal distress that almost always accompanies withdrawal, but l-theanine, ashwaganda, and l-taurine provided some relief from the body aches I had withdrawing from Temazepam. I have also found tgat managing my Omega 6 to Omega 3 intake ratio so that it is as close to 1:1 has helped my overall wellness. Just taking a fish oil supplement isn't anywhere near enough to do that effectively. It requires radically altering diet and then using a quality fish oil which is not rancid - good fish oil dies not taste ot smell fishy, and the cheap Ester oils that dominate the market have a lower bioavailability than the triglyceride form, which leaves most of the supplement to oxidize, produce free radicals, cause cellular damage, and as a result increase the overall levels of inflammation. Nordic naturals is the only brand I find worth taking, but the stuff is expensive, so I make sure to eat lots of Salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines, with a little shrimp here and there, while avoiding beef, pork, chicken, and other sources of onega 6 fats.

I take fish oil pills because that stupid seroquel also upped my triglycerides as well so it seems to work. I have this crazy phobia of eating seafood. It's so hard to take those pills, but I know I need too. I need to do more research and see what other foods I can get my omegas?

The biggest problem the past few days is horrible headaches and nausea, but I dont puke. It hits me out of nowhere. It happened at the end of my shift yesterday, I didn't think I was going to make it home. This happened the last time I came off Seroquel.

Thanks for the info., I will look into this. I'm always looking for ways to improve my health.
