Answer 1

Hello, i honestly didn't think it mattered what time you take it as long as you take it at approximately the same time each day, i don't think an hour is going to do much damage, take it at 9pm from now on, otherwise take it as 10pm the new time and stick to that.

Answer 2

When the instructions say to take it at the same time every day, that doesn't necessarily mean 10 p.m. on the dot. I think the instructions say that because if you get yourself into a routine then you're less likely to forget to take the pill. It's okay to take it at 10, or at 9, or at 11. The important thing is that you remember to take it. Your body doesn't know that we "fall back" tonight. It won't do anything different to your system.

Answer 3

Just take it at 10 one hour late isnt going to stop anything

Answer 4

Don't quote me but it really shouldn't make a difference taking it an hour ahead or behind.

Answer 5

start with a 20 minute diff. first day, same additionally the next, and one more time. Its called titrating the dose.

Answer 6

Keep it simple. Keep the same time you always do. One hour isn't going to hurt you.

Answer 7

I really don't think one hour either way will have any difference at all, so you pick and it will be fine.
