I take one flintstones vitamin a day, but I have mono and I called the dr and asked what I can do to fight this fatigue. She recommended I take centrum for woman. Will it be safe for me to take both of these in one day?

You CAN eventually OD on excess vitamins.
The reason you are getting an upset stomach is most likely the iron in the Centrum Woman’s. Tell your doctor that and ask if there is another one you can take to help prevent the upset stomach. Or else try taking the Centrum woman’s with a half of a banana.

No, you should not take multiple multivitamins. Some vitamins, like C, are water soluble; excess is simply flushed out through your urine. Others are fat-soluble and don’t get cleared out very easily — you actually can overdose on these as they build up in your system.

One multivitamin a day is enough and more than one a day is overdoing it and not recommended.
If you wish to take two or even three different brands the best way to do it would be to take one of them today, the second one tomorrow and the third one the day after that and on the fourth day you take the first one again so that you are taking all three in a three day period and that way you get the benefits of all three.
