I am missing so many doses of medicine because I cannot figure out when to take what, and what I can take together, etc etc etc.  Here is a list of what I am taking daily:

Cymbalta-depression

Armour Thyroid-Hashimoto's

Nystatin-yeast

2x a day - Doxy-Lyme

zyrtec-allergies

Supplements:

I know I need to be taking probiotics, but haven't been very regular due to figuring out the timings.  What other supplements do you all take and why?  When do you take your different meds?

I work out of the home full time, so I'm trying to condense things down where I'm only taking things morning and night.  Any suggestions?

It certainly does get confusing. At one point I was taking 32 pills a day. It was like my hobby at the time.

I always take my probiotics in the morning. They are crucial. Then two hours later take the first dose of doxy. I've always been told to take my cymbalta before bed which I take with my neurontin. I don't know about the others but once you get a schedule down, right it down and it will get easier. For me it wasn't feasible to only take in the morning and night. There were just too many combinations.

I still take magnesium which can be taken anytime but helps some people sleep. Boluoke is a cyst buster and its importance was stressed by my LLMD. I also take an immune booster and many other supplements which are in my signature. Of course everyone is different and what works for one doesn't work for everyone but this was my regime.

Hope you have a good day.

I take doxy when I get up as on an empty stomach and not within 2 hours of supplements as the bottle says...then 4-5 hours later the probiotic to replenish good bateria..then repeat late afternoon while my stomach is somewhat empty.  I do not want to chance losing the effectiveness of the doxy!  :)

Well, I decided to try taking Doxy first thing this morning on an empty stomach, but it didn't work so well. I only lasted about 10 minutes before I was throwing it up. I guess I will have to take it with meals.
