dosage

[Ep0522]

Can anyone answer this question for me? I take Rytary Four to five times a day. It all works pretty good except my third dosage. I take 285 mg each dosage. The third dosage is at 1:00 and does not kick in. I have to take my 4th at 4;30 (a little early) and it kicks in fine. Maybe it’s food interference. I do no eat protein normally until night. Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks!

In between my Rytary, I take regular c/l, yellow pill, due to that fact, not lasting btwn doses.

AND....I also take selegaline for the off times between Rytary dosing.

My wife started Rytary about 18 months ago. Great drug, but she would start wearing off before the next dose. Her neurologist added Ongentys once daily (at bedtime) and she doesn't get the off period between doses (5 hour intervals). In fact, on a couple of occasions, she has missed a noon dose and doesn't notice for a couple of hours.

For me eating any sugar/simple carbs makes rytary not work very well at all for about five or six hours

I've also found I have to constantly push myself to drink lots of water with and after each dose to help it along
