Sue,

Did I read correctly in your gabapentin template that you can take magnesium at the same time as pregabalin?

Yes. It's just gabapentin you can't.

Magnesium will reduce the effectiveness of gabapentin if taken at the same time. I actually experienced this myself. My gabapentin dose completely controlled my symptoms and then I needed to take more. It took awhile but then I realized I had started taking magnesium which was included in something else I was taking. I switched the timing and was able to go back to my previous dose. I can give you sources for this if you would like.
