make sure you're not taking a magnesium supplement at the same time as a stimulant medication. magnesium changes the acidity of your gut and can drastically affect the way your body metabolizes stimulants. if you take a stimulant in the morning, it's okay to take magnesium at night, you just don't want them running into each other in your gut essentially.
