when do you

Just wondering when everyone takes their pills, do you take them with food or liquid, morning or night?
I am trying to figure out which way is best for me to get the most out of my meds
(mostly my pain med).
Any info your willing to share would be great, Thank you !
    

Unfortunately, I take vites and meds all day long. lol

Thankfully, everything I take (including Proferrin iron) can be taken with food, as I find vitamins make me feel bleah if I don't eat something prior.

I don't take a pain med, but I do take a med that makes me extremely drowsy (like, take it in bed and go straight to sleep immediately drowsy), so obviously I take that one at night. lol

Vitamins/Minerals I take throughout the day.

When I was on pain meds and BP meds I always took them in the morning with food/liquids.

My birth control pill I take before bed - not sure why.

I take mine throughout the day too.  First thing in the morning with a little yogurt or pudding is my antacid, then my first set of anti depressants after break fast, then my second set and my multi vitamin after lunch then my caclium and vitamin d after diner then about 30 minutes before bed my last anti depressants they knock me out.

And for the person that mentioned their birth control pill, just in case you were not told or it was not mentioned after surgery some have problems with them as we do not absorb them as well  ( and I am not sure if you were RNY, if not you may be okay but just wanted to make sure you knew of the issue)

I was warned about the pill. I only take them to regulate & skip periods and they've been working well so far. But for pregnancy prevention, I'd use a backup.

I take most of my vitamins in the morning and in the evening.  The multi I take at lunch. 

It's the only way I remember to get them all in.

I used to forget when I tried to take them with meals - so now I don't - but at least I get them in.

Cheers

I crush 1/2 of my daily calcium into yogurt in the morning (usually).  If I have something other than yogurt, I'll still take the calcium now.

I have another round of crushed calcium with hummus by 9:00 pm.

My vitamins and other meds before bed.

You can't take any other pills 2 hours before and after calcium or otherwise nothing will get absorbed properly.

 

I take my Calcium Citrate and one iron in the morning

my vitamin D gets added because it's liquid to my coffee around 8:30 a.m.

the rest of my vitamins, are consumer (iron at supper with food)

calcium citrate again two hours later



I also keep a ziploc baggy in my purse with a few of each in case I end up stuck out somewhere...and so far have been pretty diligent about taking my vitamins (even while on a 10 day road trip across the USA)~!
