Irene Rosenthal wants a recommendation as to how to handle jet lag effects with meds. Irene, I would say, it depends on the duration. If you are over there one or two weeks, I would not fight it. Bring a watch along with the old time on it and take your meds at the old times, even during the night. When you get back you are back in the old routine. If you are going to be over there a month or longer, it is worthwile to acclimatize and gradually work your way over to your normal times at their clock. This is more difficult and you will have the same problem once you are back. There is no getting around it, either stick with your own routine or adapt. Think of a problem like that in the space shuttle! Have a good trip. Will Kuipers ( 75 / dx '91 ) INTERNET:[log in to unmask]
