Some advice on taking Vits, Please
So here is what I take and when, is this ok? Is it enough? Is there anything I should add or take out?
In the morning:
First I take my anti-depressant (liquid form)
Muli vitamin ( a really good one )
1000mg dry D3
B-complext
1000 mg Calcium citrate wafer
500 mg sublingual B12
Sometimes I take chewable C, but not everyday. maybe 3 times a week
Lunch,
1000mg of both D3 and Calcium Citrate, again
Before bed
Multi Vit
Iron
Is this going to work?

My nutritionist and surgeon told me NOT to take the calcium with the multi. This is the schedule they gave me:
Breakfast - COMPLETE multi vitamin
2hrs later Snack - calcium citrate plus vit d and a B12
2hrs later Lunch - COMPLETE multi vitamin
2hrs later - calcium citrate plus vit d
2 hrs later Dinner - calcim citrate plus vit d
if taking aditional Iron, take it 2 hrs after the calcium
the Iron in the multi vitamins effects the absorption of the calcium, so never take them together. You need 1500-2000 mg per day of calcium.
