Push clocks back this w/e – time change & medicine timing ?

This Saturday night we will push the clocks back one hour.
I have been taking my incevik medicine at 6 am, 2pm, and 10 pm.  And I take my riba at 6 am and 6 pm.
When I push the clocks back one hour, I was not going to change the times of my medicine and just keep taking them at the same time (which will be according to the new day light savings times).  Just wondering what is everyone else doing ?
Thanks.....ginger

I am personally changing from 6-2-10 to 5-1-9.  If it does not work out I will go back to the 6-2-10 and there is nothing lost -- it would be like changing the time later instead of tonight.

I am finding the 10 pm dose tough. I don't want to eat then and am having a hard time staying up that late.   I want to take it at 9 so I can go to bed then without getting up.  I normally get up at 5:15 and I will move my clock back to 5.  That dose may be the deal breaker but I am on VIC so I don't have to take 20g fat that early -- just some food.  We shall see - that is just what I am doing.  Also, I currently take my morning riba at 6 with the VIC and I am going to break it out and take it at 7-7 which more or less will work better with meal times.

I agree with above -- don't think one hour makes much difference.  

Personally, I haven't taken my meds at the exact same times anyway.  Don't get me wrong, it's always within a time frame, but it varies within that time frame... :)

One hour change is no big deal according to my doctor.

My,dr said I could stay on the same routine. I do find the 10 pill taking difficult though

I have the exact same plan I see no reason to worry myself over 1 hr, much easier to just keep on going in my same routine
