>Only a few interactions between gabapentin and other drugs have been identified. Aluminium and magnesium containing antacids given at the same time may decrease the bioavailability of gabapentin and lower the blood level by 20% Gabapentin may increase the concentration of some oral contraceptives by 13%. This probably is not clinically significant.

Just Before You Take It
Do not take Gabapentin within 2 hours of taking an antacid that contains either magnesium or aluminium. If you do, it will stop Gabapentin from working as well as normal.http://medguides.medicines.org.uk/displaypage.aspx?t=medicine&i=21
A quick google seach revealed those, I read others too that appeared to say the same thing.
