Took Magnesium, 1st time.

So I took a magnesium chewable to help me fall asleep faster after suggestion from the group, to avoid joint pains etc. I now have a severe headache, insomnia, and am tired AF but can't sleep for the life of me. It's now 1am and I have work in the morning. I have a feeling these symptoms are not normal, and now I regret taking it. I feel numb like I want to and need to sleep, but my head is hurting too much (even after an advil). It feels tingly, but not itchy. Dunno what to do right now.

Update. .. I was up till 3 am. Had to tire myself out. Extra strength Advil helped with the headache. Still got up for work this morning with a splitting headache. My bladder has been completely off so far, and I still feel a slight numbness to my body. I ended up returning the Magnesium to Walmart on my way to work. Told them I had some sort of reaction to them. I think I'll continue without them and just deal with the aches and pains and typical insomnia that comes with MS. :/

Sorry you had to go through that @jkoiou I think most peeps take the vits in the morning for an added lift if your thinking of trying others in future but understand if you don’t after that experience- if you get cramps spasms or restless leg type pains- then tonic water or Indian tonic water really helps (quinine in it) that’s tried & tested and recommended by a nurse friend of mine that uses it herself. Hope you recover and feel better soon 💪🍀🤞👍
