Time zone travel…..how do you all manage medication times when flying across 6-8 time zones? Thanks.

I carry 1 mg. sublingual ativan which is used prn for seizure. If I’m afraid I’ll get off schedule with meds or lack of sleep, I go ahead and take half of one.
Meds in a weekly case-always.
Works for me!

I cross one international time zone regularly, fortunately it’s an hour or two hours depending on the time of year ( daylight savings time). Through the course of the travel day, I adapt my med schedule to what will be local time at my destination. I take 15 pills (not all different meds) through the 16-18 hours a day I’m usually awake, so I adjust accordingly to what I’ll need by the time I reach my destination. Hope this helps or gives you ideas.
