Rytary?

Three weeks ago I visited my neurologist. Due to dyskinesia he told me to try reducing my Rytary from 245.Mg to 195s., since I already had some at home. I did fine on that until recently. I don’t know if the excess is just leaving my body or what the issue is. But for the past two days my symptoms have not been under control. Anyone had this trouble during a reduction? Thanks.

Rytary did not work well for me. I think it depends on how well your digestive tract is working. The capsule may not make it to the right place for absorption and or stack up. Also, women process the drug differently and the dosing may need to be adjusted for body weight and any additional medication. I believe Azilect and Mirapex call for reducing the dosage of Rytary. Good luck!
