I think that's what I'm going to need to start doing. Waking up to an early alarm just to take some meds and then go back to sleep. I slept in today so after taking the Prevacid and my other meds, I'm still waiting (10am now) to have breakfast.  Is it recommended to take the two multi's separately?  I need to take Prevacid, my own meds, 2 multi's, & cal/vitd daily, and b12 twice a week.

I believe that I was told, and it stands to reason... that we would absorb more of the multi-vite if it was a divided dose (2 full multi-vite daily). Make sure your levele of cal and vit D are adequate at your next blood work. As low levels of cal and vit will make it hard for you to absorb the multi. Chech into (your doc) getting a shot of vit B12 q monthly, I give mine to myself===less pills to take and better absorption! Im looking into inj. for a multi  and iron, that you would take monthly as well.

That does make sense that we'd absorb it better if they were split up. I'll do that today then. Have breakfast with 1 multi and have the other later in the day.  I will be following up with my family doctor on Monday to make an appointment. I was going to ask him about the injections as well. I'm taking Life Brand liquid calcium + VitD, so if my math is correct, I'm taking slightly more than recommended due to the way it's in the bottle, but I'm getting it in - with a rather horrid blueberry flavour :)     Thanks for the info.
