Hi Diane, I am not sure if my experience can help you because we may not be on the same meds and time schedule, but when I recently flew to Egypt from Los Angeles by way of Frankfurt, I stayed on my usual schedule the day I left. I arrived in Germany the next day and adjusted my meds to German time for that whole day arriving in Egypt that night. Then the next day I started my meds on Egypt time. It was a bit confusing but I really did not have any problem. I take 1.75 mg of Mirapex at 8:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 6:30 PM. I asked several doctors about traveling in different time zones and they didn't really have much to say about it. Hope this helps. Bon Voyage!!
