Make one change at a time. Rytary should go a long way towards remedying the off periods. Concentrate on getting the dosage and dosing intervals correct.
Hi Blueyedgirlky;As you know Rytary is Carbidopa/Levodopa Extended Release.
So if you are taking 125 dose of Rytary then you should not take any type of Levodopa for at least three hours .
Also if you are using 250mg; Then this period should be 6 hours.
But sometimes it seems that it's not working alone!
In my experience I'm taking 125mg Rytary + 50/12.5/200 Stalevo.
And if after one hour my symptoms still there.
Then I take another low dose stalevo.
And this is the only way I get the best results of this medicine
