Does Magnesium Intake Help In Controlling Anxiety?

I have been told that Magnesium helps with anxiety, is this true? And is there a difference or dosage I should take? I am a 51 year old male. I have been dealing with anxiety since the age of 6 when I had open heart surgery. I already take propranolol daily...

Hi,

For anxiety issue magnesium is not the treatment. It will not help much as per my opinion.

I suggest you consult nearby psychiatrist for deatiled evaluation of chronic anxiety.

For that anti anxiety medication like alprazolam can be started.

The anti depressant medication can be continued for 4-6 month for anxiety.

You can consult psychiatrist for getting written prescription of suitable medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
