Vixynne 695 Posted June 30, 2013 So I took my mag/cit about an hour ago. Followed the directions on the bottle ("drink with 8oz. of water")...how long till I get the desired result? I'm worried that my system is moving too slowly, since there's been absolutely no "action" from the magnesium citrate yet. Should I be concerned, since my surgery is tomorrow morning? Or am I jumping the gun? I'm pre-op-nervous and a bit neurotic, I admit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted June 30, 2013 It takes 30 minutes to 6 hrs. Honestly, out of the hundreds of times I've given magcitrate, I've never seen it take 6 hrs. Usually 30 minutes to 2 hrs. Good luck! 2 Vixynne and zoey1176 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vixynne 695 Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks!! I've heard a gurgle or two from the belly region, but nothing to write home about yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed--it DOES always work, right? *bites nails* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted June 30, 2013 My system is slow. It took several hours before it started working for me. But never fear! It will start and work very effectively. Lynda 1 Vixynne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vixynne 695 Posted June 30, 2013 It's been an hour, no progress yet--but I will keep the faith! I do have a second bottle on hand but I don't think I'll resort to that unless midnight comes with no results! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeeIsMe2 508 Posted June 30, 2013 For me it was lightening fast, started working in less than 30 minutes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stacechase 251 Posted June 30, 2013 Ohhhh, GURL, it will hit fast and without warning! Stay by the porcelain throne with some breaks inbetween to watch Breaking Amish or whatever ridiculous show is currently marathoning on TLC. I had to take this stuff when I had an ovary/ovarian cyst removed in March, and it will most definitely work! Good luck! 1 Ms.AntiBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vixynne 695 Posted June 30, 2013 Sigh--my system must be slow. Or it's trying to work its way past the bagel I ate for lunch as a farewell to the carb monster. *taps fingers impatiently* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted June 30, 2013 I've had to take it few time and each time it's action time varies. I remember the first time I went for a walk with my kids and had to call my husband I come get us.. And no time to spare either! Stay close to a toilet 2 Vixynne and FeeIsMe2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
