MSM and insomnia

[diddiedaisy]

hi all, I've been taking msm 1000mg for nearly 2 weeks and it's giving me insomnia I take it early in the morning but that doesn't seem to help. I'm soooo tired. I think I'll finish these tablets I've got and if the insomnia is persisting I think I'll stop taking them.

Has as anyone else had this problem? Is my dosage too high?

I had the same problem at first but not now. I can't remember how long it took to resolve unfortunately. I started with 500 mg and worked up to 3000mg but now do powder not capsule.

Wow I never linked MSM to insomnia! I take 2000 mgs (capsules) and usually I sleep really well, but I have had periods of insomnia, so perhaps that was the reason. I hope your insomnia disappears soon.

I've taken man for a year and never had insomnia from it.

If you are suffering side effects then either the supplement or the dose is not for you. Put your health before your visual appearance: insomnia is detrimental to every tissue and organ in the body, you don't even utilise nutrients normally.

I didn't have insomnia while taking 1000 mg MSM but suffered from terrible headaches, so stopped. I should have started from 500 mg and slowly increased the dosage.

I would stop taking them now and see if the insomnia improves instead of waiting until you finish the bottle!

I second this. :)

I haven't taken my tablet this morning so I hope to sleep tonight. I shall report back tomorrow.

If it is the msm I may get a lower dose and build myself up. I also wondered if I should have maybe drank more water.

Just stop taking it now. It's not worth it.

Just a quick update. After stopping msm 2 days ago my insomnia is going. Not quite back to normal but I think I will be over the next couple of days.

I am going to try it again in a couple of weeks on a lower dose as I have seen other health benefits. An injury from September on my hip stopped hurting and my neck which I have problems stopped giving me trouble.

Hopefully I will be able to find a balance.

I took well over 1000 mg for over 6 mos awhile back. I don't recall have problems with sleep however, it didn't do anything for my gowth rate either :mad:

[diddiedaisy]

Well I stopped the msm tablets and started on a lower dose of 500mg.

A week later no insomnia. Very pleased about this as I got other benefits from them.

Does anyone know how long you should take a certain mg for before building up, as I do want to get back up to 1000mg.

I went about a month between increases.
