Hey there! Why bother messing up your system with changing the time you are dosaging? You could work out what time you usually take your dose in your home timezone, then just make adjustments with the time, set an alarm clock and then just take it then.
So for instance, say you take it at 3pm in your hometown of Boston and thats your usual time. You travel to London, which is 5 hours ahead of Boston. So you would then set your alarm and take it at 8pm (3pm + 5 hours time difference ahead).
This is what I did when I went from UK to Boston with effexor. It is particulary good if you have a mobile phone and set it to 'repeat alarm' - you don't even have to bother to remember to set it!
However, this is all assuming that your medication doesn't affect your sleep/wake states.
Kind regards
Meri
