I am trying to be healthier but my stomach hates food in the morning. I've finally found a smoothie I like that has protein in it but it's mango and also has added vitamin B and C.

My specialist always said wait at least an hour before and after the meds for any juice, fruit or vitamin C. But I forget to eat at all and don't notice till the stomach cramps kick in.

I've been on my meds over 20 years, I take a break at least once a month.

No matter what I do exercise, protein, I am dozing off by 3pm like clockwork.

I take focalin xr 35mg once a day, weigh 111lbs, female, get plenty of sleep, try to do my best to take them everyday.

Lately I've also been stressed and overworked due to a staffing shortage, a little sick as well (antibiotics for allergic rhinitis turned sinus infection); so they aren't really working at all.

Its a mango smoothie, 15g whey protein, an immunity additive, and 75mg caffeine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

tldr questions

- when can you have fruit, juice, vitamin C?

- when is the protein before/with/after meds?

- should you take your meds at all on antibiotics? visions of agitated bacteria dance in my head

- what do mouth sparkles from whey protein allergy feel like, its not a numbness like my seafood allergy but its a little sparkling, should i be concerned?

- sorry if i got the flare wrong I didn't know if this was med help or side effects 😅
