Does Magnesium Citrate Supplement Cause Anxiety And Joint Pain?

Hello Dr. Rynne, My name is Dean Rael. Recently (about 2 months ago) I updated my intake of Magnesium Citrate to 800mg per day. I have been suffering from several symptoms and only today realized that most likely one of the symptoms (diarrhea - over the last 4 weeks) is related to the high intake. The other symptoms I have been dealing with are: Dry mouth while sleeping- I sleep with a CPAP and have had to force myself to sleep on my back due to (rotator cuff pain). I have been suffering from joint and muscle pain (shoulders, arms, hips and legs) and have not correlated this symptom with the MagCit. until today. I ve also been experiencing some anxiety (I notice the anxiety mostly at night when trying to sleep - concerned about my breathing). I have not been sleeping well for several weeks now). Bottom line I am wondering if all of these symptoms are related to the MagCit. intake. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hoping you will have some answers for me. Dean

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per the narration of the issue, anxiety, joint pain, diarrhea are all confluence of symptoms due to overdose of the Magnesium Citrate.

I recommend to consume Magnesium and add probiotics, anti anxiety, anti inflammatory medicines with your consultant for rest of the issues.

Wish you great day.

Thanks.
