    Caffeine increased my muscle tension. Muscle relaxants counteracted it. Now off both, taking lots of magnesium.

      Sorry if this is too personal, but I’ve heard magnesium can cause diarrhea. Does that happen to you? Also, what kind of magnesium do you take, and is your bruxism related to anxiety?

        I’ve heard magnesium oxide is the most diarrheic and least effective otherwise, so I avoid that. I take magnesium citrate, carbonate, hydroxide, acetate, malate, bisglycinate, taurate, gluconate, or whatever combination of them happens to be cheap. Never tried threonate because it’s so expensive.

        There was even more anxiety with caffeine, so yeah, related.
