I'm traveling to London later this year from Australia, i'm worried about time change, with taking medication on the flight and when I get there?
Ask your Dr. as well, he may give you some emergency medications as well.
I used to travel 75 percent of the year for work and 3 weeks a year for personal. When I was just a few hours in time difference I tried to adjust my meds...after 3 days....well lets say it ruined my trip. Another tip for traveling to prevent episodes is drinking lots of water, no caffeine and limit sugars. I always carry my ativan for seizure rescue. If I get an aura I take one. I eat and bring plenty of high ptotien foods that I know work for me... Nuts, hard boiled eggs. cheese, meat whatever
This is a great question. I'm going to be doing some traveling abroad in the summer & I didn't think about time change with my medication. Thank you @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
keep a watch and alarms set to keep your times the same as home. Even if you have to take in the middle of the night. I have done this, it is worth it.
Adjust slowly 1 hour at a time and remember, taking earlier is safer than taking late.
