Thank you so much for helping me do you take magnezuim and gabapentin yourself

I don’t take Gabapentin, but I do take Magnesium Malate, as should everyone with Fibromyalgia.
I take 500 mg split into 3 doses throughout the day, everybody’s dose and intolerance is different. If you’re experiencing diarrhea, take one less pill, until the diarrhea stops.

I don't know because I have never taking magnesium. I'm wondering why you are interested in taking it. As for your question if it was me I would ask my pharmacist for advice. I'm sending gentle hugs and I hope you have a great day!

I have been trying to research on taking Magnesium along with gabapentin.
I have found many contradictory sources. But, here is what I have seen more of: Magnesium with citrate, and others, can lower the dose of gabapentin my attaching to the gaba and not letting it be absorb. Magnesium Malate does not do that, or if it does, not to the extent of absorbing the gaba.
And , I believe is the best advice i found, was to take the magnesium malate and gaba 2 hours apart from each other.
Many gentle hugs and good lucks to you all

Thank you hugs to you too may you have a pain free day I am taking it for ringing in my ears it seems to help but heard it interferes with gabapentin because it tends to give you diarrhea and deplete the drugs strength
