Consult your doctor. Each person as you know has a different body chemistry.

Found this from Nutrition Central:

MAGNESIUM
Magnesium comes in many forms, the best absorbed of which include magnesium aspartate, amino acid chelate, gluconate, orotate and carbonate. Toxic effects of magnesium include flushing of the skin, thirst, low blood pressure, loss of reflexes and respiratory depression. Toxicity is only likely to occur in those with kidney disease taking magnesium supplements. For normal, healthy adults a daily intake of up to 1,000mg is considered safe. Magnesium interacts with calcium; therefore magnesium supplements should only be given to those with adequate calcium intake, or supplementing calcium.
