People that live in USA. How does effect your Parkinson’s medicine doesing schedule,spring forward 1 hour this coming weekend ? For me it screws me up doseing every 3 hours. I feel like crap, I don’t like change. I had Parkinson’s over 13 yeart now. I more sensitive to this desease and taking your medicine on time every time is very important. I myself wish they drop it in my State.

why not just keep your dosing at every 3 hours. If you normally took it at 8 am, you just take it at 7 with the Spring Forward time. Spacing stays the same
