I was reading some old posts on the magnesium intake at night. I was originally using just the magnesium oxide. I read articles and switched to chelated magnesium. I took 400mg of it last night and woke up and took my 20mg adderall xr and it was like I have never taken it. I usually have to take another 20mg 2 hours later but so far havent needed it. Has anyone else done that. I also take omega 3 fish oil at night which seems to help.

I take magnesium, but its the cheap magnesium oxide kind. I have not been able to tell a difference so far, maybe I should switch to chelated magnesium.

Sorry to go off topic, but do you get a fishy taste in your mouth from taking this?

I HATE the taste and smell of fish. I am very sensitive to taste and smell, and fish is the WORST for me. It makes me gag horribly. I would like to take a fish oil supplement but I don't think I could handle it if it tastes fishy.

I take capsules of it. It come is plain old liquid form, and I think someone mentioned a non-gross flavored brand existed. But with the capsules, I get no "fishy" taste. They smell a little weird (not in a bad or fishy way, just weird). Be prepared to swallow horse sized pills though.

Yeah they smell a little but they feel really soft. I take magnesium at night too like 500-1000mg. I don't feel that the magnesium is doing much. It is magnesium chelate, I kind of give up on trying to help my tolerance. I need a break from adderall but have to take it being in school all the time it seems like when I am not working. Does anyone think if I don't take it on the weekends would it help?
