Years ago, I had tried baclofen as it relieved those awful charley horse cramps I used to wake up with or get in the middle of the night. When I discovered that magnesium was a fabulous mineral of which 80% of us are deficient, and it took away any of my need for a baclofen pill, I have only made sure to take magnesium citrate or malate. Most recently, I've heard that magnesium glyconate is the best absorbed of them all. The thing with citrate is you have to take it gradually, or it works like a laxative. One pill in the morning for a week, then 2, and so on.

Magnesium orchestrates over 300 chemical reactions in the body. We even use it to maintain our body temperature. Anyway, you don't hear about it so much because there is more money to be made off of pharmaceuticals when people go to the ER for heart issues of any kind.... Used to be, a magnesium drip was available on the crash carts in the ER. You may have heard that already.

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of magnesium. I've read a lot on it. I hope you'll forget the baclofen and give it a try.

I currently take Baclofen. I am very grateful for this drug, as it definetly helps me. I am a woman whose body type is slender and not overweight at all
. I have taken Baclofen for well over a year or two, and I have not seen any sign of weight gain from taking it.
I do note that if I miss a dose, my body definetly notices the lack of the drug assistance. So, taking it is very beneficial to me.
