Thanks for the input. I have laid off the magnesium completely, just taking a mild herbal sleep aid and a nerve tonic. Magnesium oil is supposed to be very potent, perhaps i started too much too soon... I can recall having this sensitivity and being very irritable the last time i was using it. I think it is absorbed easily where I spray it... under arms, feet, etc. I know it sure stings!! I figure since i eat a pretty healthy diet, and it caused a possible flair up- there is really no need. I also read that there is a lot of hype surrounding magnesium companies and lots of health claims- i just wonder who to trust ??

I also read about magnesium helping with bi-polar, perhaps it might help in those who are untreated? Or in smaller doses? and the fact that im being treated by meds just put me over the top? Soo hard to say. My Pdoc doesn't know much about Mag, simply told me just because its natural does not equal safe!!

My lesson is that I need to show my Pdoc all my meds herbs and such, make sure they are all safe. And with magnesium and other things, not to 'go there' unless it is OK'd by the Dr. Its amazing to me how sensitive I am...

The GREAT news is that I have not had ANY episodes since... and even went through my roughest part of my cycle without any major mood issues!!! hooray!!! I think the lamictal is really kicking in now I dont want to jinx it, but I haven't felt this stable in years and years......!!!!
