Brief Answer:
No, don't do that!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I will not recommend that you take more than the recommended dose of ionic magnesium citrate. Taking milk of magnesia further exposes you to higher than desired dose that makes taking more than the recommended dose not a good idea. For this reason, I strongly recommend against doing so.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
