Brief Answer:
Need a 4 to 6 hour gap.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Ma'am
Thank you for asking ask a doctor service.
I have gone through your query with diligence. Magnesium will decrease the absorption of Gabapentin. A 4 to 6 hours gap is required. So you can take your gabapentin after 5 hours from taking magnesium drink.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Can be taken at same.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.
Thank you for your follow-up query.
Klonopin and Gabapentin can be taken together in case of severe neuropathy.
Effects of Klonopin can last till 8 hours. So if you don't want the combined effect then after 8 hours you can take Gabapentin.
Effects of Gabapentin can last till 6 to 7 hours so you can take Klonopin after 6 hours from taking Gabapentin.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
