A high quality magnesium supplement works very well for specifically gabapentin withdrawal as there is some parallel between each of their mechanisms of action. It might only marginally help with the WD from other substances as it causes some muscle relaxation and eases anxiety mildly. Long term use of magnesium is good for depression. 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. 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. GABAGoodness is devoted to the discussion of all GABAergics, Gabapentnoids and VDCC inhibitors such as Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Phenibut, Carisoprodol, GHB, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, and more! This is a great place to ask general or recreational questions, get harm reduction advice, or share your experience with withdrawal syndromes. 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. Learn about the potential interactions, benefits, and precautions of taking magnesium with gabapentin. Find out how to safely combine these two supplements for improved health. We can help! "Take gabapentin (Neurontin) at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after taking magnesium supplements." -WebMD. The window for taking it after magnesium is more debated (different sources have different answers) so personally I prefer to stick with the more conservative estimate and wait the longer period 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. Magnesium can lower the bioavailability of gabapentin. It is recommended to not take gabapentin until at least 2 hours AFTER your magnesium. Or if you take gabapentin first, wait 4 hours before taking the magnesium. This is due to magnesium affecting the bowel motility and thus lowers where gabapentin is absorbed while it is actively involved. Hey friends, I'm writing on behalf of my non-redditor wife who is having a horrible time getting off Gabapentin. The withdrawal effects are severe anxiety and fear, seemingly like most of you who are experiencing them - she stopped cold turkey about two weeks ago rather than weaning off, though she's considering getting back on it to wean off because the symptoms are so bad. I'd like to hear some anecdotal experiences with taking magnesium with gabapentin. Please.let me know any details you can share, like what you take gabapentin for, how often, the dose, and also what form of magnesium, the dose, and the timing, and what results. I don't need advice. Magnesium blocks Gabapentin from working if taken too closely in proximity. That’s it. If I take a Gabapentin I skip the magnesium glycinate in the evening. General recommendation is to wait three hours after magnesium to use Gabapentin. Gabapentin and magnesium can interact with each other. Magnesium can lower the effects of gabapentin.

Talk to your healthcare provider about how to safely take both medications. Not a serious interaction, it’s just that magnesium impacts gabapentin absorption so don’t take them too close together. I take magnesium in the middle of the day and gabapentin at night and have no issues. You can google magnesium gabapentin interactions for more info. Apparently the general rule people are saying is Gabapentin no sooner than 2 hours after magnesium and magnesium no sooner than 4-6 hours after Gabapentin. The science (magnesium and Gabapentin but use the same transporter so magnesium can deplete the stores of Gabapentin and make it less bioavailable) makes sense too. I used gabapentin to assist in getting off of a long term opiate and I wasn’t told about withdrawls gabapentin itself causes. I have been taking 1800mg daily for almost 4 month. Iv begun lowering my dose this week and I experienced a very intense restless legs each night. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. 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? I am currently taking a high end liquid magnesium supplement called ReMag liquid ionic. I take it at least 2 hours after I've taken my gaba. I’d taken magnesium on and off for years on my personal trainers advice but after seeing how someone raved about it on tik tok for their anxiety I realised I wasn’t taking the right dosage.
