Hello, Junie! How are you?

If your doctor didn't provide any specific instructions, then it is up to you.

Taking all 3 at once in the morning could help prevent the insomnia that this medication can cause, alternatively taking them separately can help minimize the severity of all the side effects.

The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and nervousness.

Is there anything else I can help with?
