hi shepher, me again lol. I take 250 mg of magnesium a day,usually with meals. Many times I have taken it with my nortriptyline at bedtime and no problems. My doctor knows my supplements and never said it’s a problem. I take magnesium for joint health and it also reduces constipation from pain meds. Check with dr but it’s never been a problem for me. Hope it helps

I haven't got any experience of it. It might be ok but I would always suggest you talk to your doctor/ pharmacist before starting anything new- even a supplement- just in case.

I also take 10mg Amitriptyline at bedtime. I also have IBS and a magnesium deficiency. I take Slow-mag for that. Be careful with what type of magnesium you take. There are many different types and itdepends on what you take it for as far as the dose. To much can cause many problems.
