    Sounds good. If I remember correctly you should get some mild relief before that. If in 2-3 months you don't notice any difference then you probably need to up the dose. I had to go from one pill a day to two because the initial benefit wasn't good enough. I've been taking it for about a year now and only in the last couple-three months have I noticed a dramatic difference.

    I looked it up and it's primary use is its a laxative. Are you trying to make a joke?

    Well said! I work in biotech and have helped launch many life saving (Herceptin) and quality of life improving drugs through the years, but we always ask our new employees at orientation training "What's the difference between a drug and a poison?"

    The answer? ... dose

    This is why I cautioned to use Magnesium CITRATE, and NOT Magnesium OXIDE. I believe I covered this in one of my posts above. Yes, Magnesium is an ingredient in some laxatives. I have not noticed a laxative effect with Magnesium Citrate.

    If anyone does experience problems, do feel free to report it.

    I take 200 mg in the morning and 200 before bed. The directions on the bottle say to double that. I have not felt the need to take a full dose.

    As with any supplement you take, there may be side effects.

    But once again, take Magnesium CITRATE and for the love of Pete do NOT take Magnesium OXIDE or you probably will be in the bathroom a lot.

    Have you tried taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for neuropathy? It is my understanding it will deplete some of the B-6 in your system, so you have to take a Vitamin B-6 or B100 complex supplement.

    One week in and I have not experienced any laxative effects. Another note is that I started with a tablet in the morning with the D3 and other meds and a tablet at night along with night time meds. My neuropathy is severe...

    Since I knew I was going to be near a bathroom most of this weekend I deliberately double-dosed myself yesterday morning. I didn't notice even a small change in my bowel habits as a result. I did notice somewhat of an increase in how much feeling I have in the bottoms of my feet, though.

    As stated earlier, the prickly feeling in my feet has been gone for months but I still experience some numbness (which is gradually abating). Since double-dosing yesterday I perceive more feeling in the bottoms of my feet.. I may experiment with increasing the dose at least in the mornings.

    For those of you still following this thread, I'm beginning to investigate Goldenseal (berberine) as a way to attack diabetes from the back end:

    I have yet to take a single dose.

    And here's a skeptic of berberine:
