timezone changes and med dose timing

Posted by llrrrpp on August 1, 2006, at 0:30:34

Okay, here's my meds schedule normally
90 mg cymbalta and 12.5-25 mg seroquel at bedtime

200 mg provigil in am.

Here's the problem-
I went 2 timezones west over the weekend, got all screwed up, [didn't help much that I only got 4 hours of sleep during 2 nights last week!]

Now I'm going 7? 8? timezones east in a couple of days.

So, here's what I've devised. important to keep cymbalta going at roughly 24 hour intervals, and I don't care about the provigil or seroquel they are just for not-sleepy and sleeping, respectively.

I've been delaying my cymbalta dose 4 hours [i.e. 30 hours between doses] for the last couple of days, in the hopes of eventually being able to take it at bedtime when I go to Europe later this week. I thought it was better than reducing my inter-dose timing to less than 24 hours, in the risk that I would get too much cymbalta in my system (90mg is pretty high).

But I've been getting headaches, and I took a long nap, and have been feeling kind of out of it. Only a tiny bit depressed. some visual distortions and ear ringing. Does this happen to you too when you take your antidepressant later than usual?

thanks for your help!
