I take 3-4 oh the 95 but blue 4 x day max. They do last longer at least 4 hours sometimes 4, oh I wait too long they don't kklick in. They work really well but I swear there3s something else in them or what the capsules are made of I walk like a drunk hyperventilate and my tongue is all sore . after about a week if I make it that long I miss my sineret

I've been trying Rytary since Jan. 1 (this is the 2nd time with a different neuro) & I still don't know about it! What dosage are you on?I started on 23.75-95 mg then in Feb. he changed it to 48.75-195. I take 1 pill 3 times a day plus Azilect, ropinerole 8 mg and amantadine. I still get some dyskinesia but also some freezing & slowness. I don't know which is worse! Sometimes I feel great though. I also have 10-100 mg c/l odt that I pop in when I need a pick me up. I really like the oral disintegrating tablets but it took forever to finally get them.

Rytary is an awesome drug. If you are willing to figure out the best dosage that works for you. Due to having had a gastric bypass, I can only take the smallest capsule. My routine is a little different, but its what works for me. I usually get a later start to my days, so I take my first dose at nine. This dose is 1 capsule, at 10-10:30, I take 2 more. My next dose comes between 1 and 1:30. This is 3 capsules. My last dose I take around 6:30 and its 2 capsules. In that mix, I also take 1 mg of requip 3x a day. If I have to start my day earlier, I just move the times accordingly. I then can add 1 more dose of 2 capsules to be able to finish my day. I just saw my mds doctor and she was pleased with my schedule. I did have dbs last year, so averaging 8 capsules a day is much better than the 16 that I was on. By the timing, my dyskenisia is kept to a minimum.
