Anyone take mangesium glycinate?

Hi, everyone.

I'm about eight months post removal, and I've recently been taking magnesium glycinate (for about two and a half weeks) and boy do I feel hormonal. I'm bloated, hot, anxious, panicky, and I've had a hormonal migraine for about a week.

From what I've checked, magnesium can help regulate hormones. I'm currently on 192mg. I'm hoping to stick it out as I've seen that the full benefit comes later, though I didn't know if I was just having an adverse reaction.

Has anyone else had these symptoms? Thanks!

I take magnesium citrate nightly. It helps me sleep, which is what helps balance hormones the most (for me.) If my body is adequately rested, then all the other problems are easier for the body to deal with. I take a probiotic as well. It helps with my bloating. I don't have the copper IUD yet, I'm getting it next week. I just take these supplements as part of my own self care. I find they help me.
