Hi Petitemomma,
Well...a few months back I took them together but was taking other things too and at that time my hormones and such really wacked out so I stopped everything even supps.. then started going back slowly on supps... and added new supps..then add some other new herbs cause I wasnt sure what was going on..long story short I am finally feeling better..took a few months..I have found out to keep it simple as Isabelle has told me too but I didnt listen to her til now..she would also be one to ask your question too or read her thread.. anyway I just started added maca back today..today was my first day..I just added PM back on Sunday both 1 a day each are 500mgs so far my energy is better and muscles too..I am 48 yrs old so I most likely in perimenopause.. anyway I find for myself I dont think I can take too much maca but I will let you know as the days go by..I decided to go by my symptoms cause I dont know how low my estrogen, progesterone, and testoserone and other hormones like adrenals and thyroid do effect sex hormones and sex hormones effect adrenals and thyroid..IMO.. so if you want to start taking it maybe first start the PM and see how you feel on that..and so on.. also supposely maca can up estrogen too but I am taking it cause it suppose to balance things out and suppose to help adrenals (hypothalmas)....you should research maca and read about if you havent yet...not much info out there about..I would also read maca threads and Isabelles thread has been long talks about maca and lots of other good info..put maca in the search on this site..I hope I answered your question..Oh if you do start it it should be taken mostly in the morning..I take both PM and maca in the morning but I take PM first thing with milk and about 2-3 hours later I take maca with food..so far not stomach problems..the only time I had a problem is when I start PM on Sunday had pain in muscles, stomach and tired same on Monday but it could have been a stomach bug...I think it was the PM cause I didnt have a fever, did feel nausous sp? though but most of the pain was in my stomach/belly and low back and neck/back ..so that is it so far..ok done rambling..
