Bipolar Disorder Medication Tips: Travel

Hi, I’m up early here on the west coast. I go to Virginia tomorrow and spent the last three days switching over to east coast time. It really helps.

The traveling makes me think of my meds. Here are some tips on travel and meds:

- Put your meds in three places.  On your body- purse, pill box in wallet, etc.

- Put meds in your carry on- I have enough for the trip in my bag- it’s about 15 pills.

- Put meds in regular suitcase.

That way I have meds no matter what happens. I can’t miss doses, so I overprepare when it comes to travel.
