This is the first I've heard of this! Assuming you mean gabapentin (Neurontin) & pregabalin (Lyrica) specifically, I did a quick search and found some mention of it, but nothing from what I'd call a credible source (or at least nothing I could understand. )

I also saw some kind of admonition about being careful not to take calcium or magnesium supplements within two hours before or after gabapentin or pregabalin. (More)

Is there some credible citation for this stuff, or is it Liberty Valance stuff? ("When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.")

Thanks,

Doc
