Can someone help me "schedule" my vitamin intake
So, here is what I need to get in:
Nexium
Prozac
2 chewable multi's (Doc said I could take them at the same time?)
4 500 mg calcium citrates (chewable)
1 sublingual b-12
1 chewable iron (with C)
1 "dry" vitamin D
Phew! Up until now I was just taking the nexium, prozac, multi's and 3 calciums. The extra pills are throwing me for a loop. Seems like I should be taking "something" every hour or so.
Here's how I did it so far today:
Nexium in some applesauce first thing this morning
"dry" D about a 1/2 hour after
Will be having my protein shake in a bit, planned on the multi's, one calcium, and b-12.
Then I have to get the rest of the calcium and the iron in there somewhere because I can't take them together. Can I take the iron with the D?

This is the schedule I follow. Except that i take 3 calcium citrate. So I factored in your 4th calcium citrate in the following suggested schedule.
AM (breakfast)
1 Multivitamin
1 Calcium Citrate
1 B-12
Mid morning
1 Calcium Citrate
Lunch
1 Calcium Citrate
Dinner
1 Calcium Citrate
Bedtime
Nexium
Zoloft
1 Iron
1 D Vitamin
1 Multivitamin
AM (breakfast)
1 Multivitamin
1 Calcium Citrate
1 B-12
Mid morning
1 Calcium Citrate
Lunch
1 Calcium Citrate
Dinner
1 Calcium Citrate
Bedtime
Nexium
Zoloft
1 Iron
1 D Vitamin
1 Multivitamin
Try something like this:
When you wake up: nexium
Breakfast: prozac, one multi, D, B12, one calcium
Lunch: one multi, one calcium
Midafternoon: one calcium
Dinner: one calcium
Bedtime: iron, C
When you wake up: nexium
Breakfast: prozac, one multi, D, B12, one calcium
Lunch: one multi, one calcium
Midafternoon: one calcium
Dinner: one calcium
Bedtime: iron, C

purr: The only time you can't take calcium and a multi together is if your multi contains iron. As was posted earlier, one interferes with the absorption of the other. If your iron is a separate pill, then you can take the calcium and multi together. Just take your iron at least 2 hours before or after.
