    i've been taking it for 7 months (500mg) but unsure if it does anything.Iagree they are very big.Sometimes they get stuck and can also make me gag.But if it does good i'll tolerate it.jim48507 takes 100mg-so maybe i should increase?? Anyone got any ideas?

      Without it one might feel worse.  One of the symptoms of magnesium deficiencies is depression and anxiety.  Many people are magnesium deficient.  If it makes you gag you can split the tabs and take it in two swallows.
