Magnesium

[Caravan24]

I am off roprinole for 12 months and bumbling along on 600mg gabapentin, some nights sleeping well others having symptoms to 1am when I reluctantly take sleeping medication. Reluctant to go higher on gabapentin due to it causing migraine. I take take iron supplements every other night. I am not sure of the best time to take magnesium as I understand this affects gabapentin absorption. Any advice?

3 hours apart from the Gabapentin.

You might want to try switching to pregabalin. Although it is basically the same drug except you don't need to divide the doses, and the side effects are basically the same, some people find that the side effects that bother them on one don't bother them on the other. Divide the gabapentin amount by 6 to get the correct dose. You can switch directly. Then try raising it by 25 mg every couple of days.
