I get the most relief from eliminating the foods known to irritate nerves (gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, brown rice) and taking supplements like (NAC, 5-HTP, Co-Q10, R-ALA, magnesium glycinate, Omega 3s) and natural herbal remedies that support and calm the central nervous system and help nerves recover (tinctures of milky oat Clinical research shows that giving magnesium oxide orally along with gabapentin decreases the maximum plasma concentration of gabapentin by 33%, time to maximum concentration by 36%, and area under the curve by 43%. If you’ve been prescribed gabapentin and take a medication or supplement containing magnesium, it’s recommended to take gabapentin at least 2 hours after taking it. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to safely take both medications. If you decide to take magnesium and gabapentin together, be sure to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and monitor for any unusual symptoms or side effects. By taking these precautions, you can safely combine these two supplements for improved health and well-being. If you do try magnesium, consider looking specifically for magnesium glycinate or magnesium biglycinate. These forms may be more easily absorbed and thus may be less likely to affect the digestive system. Some of the other forms of magnesium (like magnesium citrate) are laxatives, which means they can upset your stomach and cause diarrhea. Magnesium citrate is absorbed in the gut as well as increases gut motility (movement) -- this decreases the bioavailability and absorption of gabapentin. So it basically makes gabapentin basically less effective. You can avoid this interaction by taking your magnesium 2 hours before your gabapentin, or take magnesium 4 hours after gabapentin. I am slowly trying to stop Gabapentin and was wondering if anyone took Magnesium while on Gabapentin?? I started on 900mg a day went down to 600 and now I'm at 300. Feeling some withdrawal especially insomnia it is horrible. I read that you have to be completely rid of the Gabapentin before starting magnesium. Does anyone have any info on this? Gabapentin: Gabapentin, prescribed for seizures and nerve pain, may have reduced absorption when taken with magnesium. To avoid this interaction, take gabapentin at least 2 hours apart from magnesium glycinate to ensure both work effectively. 66 medications are known to interact with magnesium glycinate. Includes levothyroxine, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin. Magnesium: The recommended daily intake of magnesium for adults is around 400 to 420 mg for men and 310 to 320 mg for women. It is important to note that magnesium supplements can cause digestive issues in some individuals, so it is advisable to start with a lower dosage and gradually increase as tolerated. Potential Interactions Has anyone had success in using supplements to help with gabapentin withdrawals? I’m currently taking 400mg magnesium glycinate. I’ve thought of experimenting with l-theanine and Alpha lipoid acid. Edited to add - I did taper off. Definitely not looking to reinstate. Just looking for advice on things that may help with symptoms. However, magnesium can interfere with how your body absorbs gabapentin, making it less effective. To prevent this interaction, it’s typically recommended to take gabapentin at least two hours after any magnesium-containing supplements or antacids. But then when I wanted to switch to magnesium glycinate, I happened upon seeing online this interaction bw magnesium and gabapentin which recommended taking the magnesium first and gabapentin 2 hours later. This distressed me, bc I hadn't known. I was wondering if I was getting less of a bedtime dose of gabapentin than I thought. What is Magnesium? Magnesium has active ingredients of magnesium. It is often used in constipation. eHealthMe is studying from 121,014 Magnesium users for the drug's side effects, drug interactions, effectiveness and more. Check Magnesium in the real world. What is Gabapentin? Gabapentin has active ingredients of gabapentin. It is often used in Magnesium can interfere with absorption of gabapentin (neurontin), which I take 300 mg of at each meal and at bedtime for nerve pain. It’s recommended that magnesium be taken 2 hours after or 5-6 hours before gabapentin but I don’t have that window in my waking hours. Any magnesium-containing supplement or medication, including magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, and magnesium hydroxide (found in antacids), can interfere with gabapentin absorption. Even magnesium glycinate, often recommended for nerve pain, should be taken separately.
