This is from Discover Magazine:
Researchers at the Chemical Abuse Centers in Boardman, Ohio, found that combining magnesium oxide with the drug verapamil helped control manic symptoms in patients better than a drug-placebo combination.
This comes from livestrong.com
Magnesium sulphate was found to be an effective supplementary treatment of severe manic agitation in a study published in the December 1999 issue of "Psychiatry Research." Patients with initial resistance to medication combinations of lithium, haloperidol and clonazepam markedly improved with the addition of magnesium sulphate.
There's a Psycho-Babble thread about magnesium l-threonate you can scroll up to read. It's a new form of magnesium that's much better at crossing the blood-brain barrier than other forms of magnesium.
This article appeared in Discover Magazine in 2005. It's about a multivitamin that was formulated to treat bipolar disorder.
