Stop Natural Calm: It is best to take what your doctor prescribes when you have so many conditions and since it makes your fatigue worse. There are other medications you can take for sleep. Please discuss this with your doctor.

No: Magnesium supplements should not cause fatigue or aid in sleep. With all those symptoms, I would check thyroid function studies to make certain that thyroid levels are adequate. Also would have a physician check for possible other endocrine gland abnormalities
