Ok, so I'm about to start a 2 week abx regimen and wanted to ask your advice on how to space out everything I'm supposed to take. I don't really know what shouldn't be taken together, so if you have any ideas that'd be great. Please keep in mind I'm very sensitive to meds in general, and they have an exaggerated effect on me.
Any ideas or recommendations on what time I should take each of these in a 16 hour (time awake) day would be greatly appreciated. Typically, I wake up at 9 in the morning and go to bed around midnight or 1am.
Thanks a million,
Marc

I take probiotics an hour before every meal even I'm taking antibiotics. If I can, I space the probiotics two hours away from antibiotics, though my LLMD said an hour was fine.
Minerals need to be taken 2 hours away from antibiotics.
Why only two weeks?

What time of day do you take the Toprol Xl? It looks like you can easily space out your meds every 12 hours with meals, and take the acidophulus in between with the magnesium. Oh, and yes, why the heck is it only for 2 weeks?

My apologies as I should have specified. I've already been on longterm abx and have made a significant amount of recovery, I'd say 60-70%.
I plateaued, and since the drugs weren't helping me more at the time, my llmd wanted me off them for awhile. He has been trying to increase the amount of time I can be off abx, with the ultimate goal to not have to take them at all.
I went without abx for my longest stint ever, 5 months, and did ok but just recently had a relapse of symptoms. As a result, he prescribed a quick, 2 week burst. The 2 weeks I'm sure can be extended if need be.
I don't know how I could have the abx 12 hours apart when the instructions on the bottle for both the zithromax and tindamax say "take one tablet by mouth twice daily," meaning to take one of each at two different times per day.
So assuming I wake up at 9 am and fall asleep at 1am at night, how would you break up the med's/supplements using the clock? I typically take my toprol xl between 12 noon and 1pm - lunch time.
