Rytary and Deep Brain Stimulation

[Blueyedgirlky]

my husband has been taking Rytary for a year. We noticed his veins get large and tingle which he says at time hurts. It gives him a terrible headache more then the the plain C/L. The Dr wants him to consider DBS now . He said it has benefits but won’t last forever then back to square one. He doesn’t have tremors but has rigidity and freezing every day. What are your experiences with either one?

Hi blue-eyed girl,

I’ve been taking Rytary for at least two years. I haven’t noticed too many problems with it except at times it doesn’t seem to be helpful. And I’m not sure if it’s the medication or me. I have noticed that I’m more sensitive to changes in air pressure weatherwise . When that changes even a degree or two I’ll get a headache. And I never used to get headache. I wish I could help more. Compared to most of the people on this site, I know so little LOL.

But I thought maybe if I answered also it would push your question up again. I don’t know if anybody didn’t see it or nobody is familiar with the situation.
