i posted awhile back about what to do about international travel and what your personal experiences were on the `going' side..even met w/my psych nurse to make sure all the meds i was taking would knock me out on the evening flights traveling thru many time zones. i survived.

however, returning back to the u.s. took approx. 35 hrs. of either waiting at airports or actual air travel and we arrived home almost a week ago. hubby, who is not bp2, seems to be almost back to his normal, tho still getting up at 2 or 3 a.m. or falling asleep on the couch during the day.

i am struggling more (bp2); taking extra sleep meds but still am very manic during the day, racing thoughts, etc. yet the body is exhausted. have no problem napping daily and i exercise daily at our health club, but want to know from those with personal experience, how they survived international air travel and coming thru many time zones. appreciate any input.
