the other alternative is with dinner, as long as several hours elapse between your dinner time and going-to-bed time. that is when i take mine because lunch is haphazard. i have dinner at 7pm ish, and go to bed anywhere between 11pm and 5 am. with this sort of distancing, i have not seen any correlation between taking/not taking the vits and my falling asleep, staying asleep, or dream quality.

taking them with dinner would allow you to keep them at home - in a separate room as you suggested, to provide the needed "separateness" from your meds.

Dear Waves and Bizi,
Perhaps, I can take the vits when I first get home and eat a supper . . .still not sure how I can be one hundred percent sure that taking the vits does does not interfere with the meds. Sometimes after taking the vits, I feel that I have taken everything for the day. After 25 years of being on meds, I have learned that the pill box idea is not for me.
Maybe I can come up with a plan like a paper log so that I can know for sure that I have not taken them or have taken them.
It has heppened that I am not sure if I took them or not. I end up waiting three or four hours to see how I feel. After four hours being late, I can feel that I am missing my Verapamil and probably the others as well. So the next day stinks because I stay up later than usual. If I guess wrong and take double Klonopin or Gabapentin, the next day will stink due to brain fog. . . . . and so on.
I value your informative posts. Sometimes I half-remember parts of what you say from other things that I know or have heard you or others discussed here. I am happy to be reminded and given more information.
I am sorry that I did not respond appropriately. The work place is stressful because my sleep pattern is a mess. I start my day late. Otherwise, the day might be more leisurely.
There are people around me the whole time --- even in the bathroom. My "quiet" time for afternoon lunch involves other people. I will not take my vits to work.
I am sloppy with my stuff. I carry lots of things. So keeping track of the vits would be complicated.I am not going to add vits to my daily stress.
I am willing to consider how I can take them at home after work some days in ways that are completely separate from my meds.
Wow. This is a lot of words just to figure out how to take two vitamin pills.
I guess some things I really need to think through before I can make them work.
Perhaps right now is a good opportunity to admit that I rarely respond to change well. Yikes.
