Probiotics: When should I take them?

I'm guessing we shouldn't take probiotics around the time we take our vites, so when should I take them?

Example day:
8am-Breakfast
10am-Vites/snack (Multi/Calc./Vit-D)
12pm-Lunch
2pm-Vites/snack (Multi/Cal./Folic Acid)
5pm-Dinner
7pm-Vites/Snack (Multi/Cal./Vit-D)
9pm-I take my Zoloft & have to take it alone or it interferes

When should I fit in 2 probiotics since it says it's best on an empty stomach? There are never enough hours in a day these days! :P
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

They should be fine with your vitamins. Take them when it's convienent for you.  : )

But it says to take them on an empty stomach and I take my vites with my snacks? hmMmMm... guess I have to work something out! I think I need a probiotic because sometimes I have this gross taste in my mouth like something died in my stomach. It's disgusting. It makes me always want to chew gum and not talk too close to anyone just in case. I'm guessing the probiotics will help with that?

Keep them in the bathroom so you can take them first thing. Even if they only get a 20 minute head start it's worth it.

I see what you mean. If I'm awake, I'm eating. I suppose if I were to get up in the middle of the night...

I take mine first thing in the morning.  If I am going to be out in the afternoon or evening, then I take another one before leaving.
