gabapentin peak efficiency

I remember reading that it takes gabapentin some time to reach its peak. Can you tell me how many hours that is? I know not to take more than 600mg at a time and to space them out by at least 2 hours. And to avoid magnesium and calcium for 3 hours before or after.

Also, is there a way to search certain words on this forum? I hate to ask this same question about gabapentin but I tried to add quotation marks, etc. and couldn't find what I was looking for.

Thanks so much
