My grandma won’t take me to the ER and I feel like I should go. Now I’m contemplating whether I should call an ambulance or not.

Maybe call 911 because you might have drank more than what you should’ve? I’m not a doctor just seems like its better to be safe than sorry in this situation

This talks about symptoms of taking too much magnesium.
Other articles tell me 400mg is the max for the citrate stuff.

Maybe call poison control? If you really are unsure about calling 911 or an ambulance? I know it’s not a poison but maybe they can still help since 2 bottles seems like a lot to me, but I will repeat myself, I am not a doctor.

My advice:

Check the labels on the bottles and if you took more than you should’ve, call poison control, explain your symptoms and amount you took, then follow their advice.\

I think I’ve drank that before and I was only told to drink 1 cup.

Go to a doc-in-a-box. Much cheaper!

Maybe you could take an uber or taxi to the emergency room, since going seems to be should I should I not kind of thing. Ambulances cost. How old are you?

The amount of magnesium citrate isn’t alarming to me; I’ve had that much within a few hours before. Just my nonprofessional opinion.

I agree with getting an Uber or Taxi to the ER. I’m no doctor either, but if it was me, that’s what I would do. Just going by the information you gave.

First off, Welcome to Fluther. Secondly, and more importantly, my rule of thumb is “unknown, persistent shooting pains mean a trip to the ER. It might be too much of the laxative, it might be a pulled muscle, it might be something more serious. Go.

Please keep us posted!
