Levodopa Overmedication – Common, Unrecognized, Devastating
I know dozens of patients having this response to
Rytary
, especially if they are alternating
Rytary
and Sinemet.... Many of these patients are borderline suicidal,...

An urgent warning about rytary...
I know dozens of patients having this response to
Rytary
, especially if they are alternating
Rytary
and Sinemet. It defies my experience that
Rytary
is listed as the same drug as carbidopa Levodopa.

Levodopa and food: slows uptake but gives you more in the long run?
According to FDA prescribing information: "In healthy adults, oral administration of
Rytary
after a high-fat, high-calorie meal reduced Cmax approximately 21% and increased AUCinf approximately 13% for levodopa compared to administration in the fasted state.

Possible Misdiagnosis
My neurologist has me on
Rytary
61.25 mg/245 mg 3 times a day and Nourianz 20 mg. Most days I take 1
Rytary
and the Nourianz and feel the same as if I took
Rytary
3 times a day. My neurologist says I am in denial. I am not. I know I have a neurological medical issue. I want the right diagnosis.

Rytary in Canada?
I went to see my neurologist today to discuss the possibility of switching from sinemet to
Rytary
, as well as from Amentadine to Gocovri. Sadly I’ve been told that neither
Rytary
nor Gocovri are available in Canada, since they have not been approved by Health Canada.

Seeking a 2nd opinion Movement Disorder
I wanted to try
Rytary
, but Movement Disorder specialist put me on amantadine instead. First day tried the 3 doses at 2.5ml and was nauseaous. The next couple of days tried 1 dose, it seemed to help, after a couple of days went to 2x per day. Then tried 5ml 2x per day.

Latest recheck
SO the
Rytary
dose is increased. Now I have six full bottles of the lower Rx's. Also I'm being referred to an acupuncturist for my neck.

Decent checkup....
I commented that I finally found the 'sweet spot' for the
Rytary
treatments. I'd found that five hours after a treatment my double vision comes back. Shortly after a second treatment the double vision subsides for another five hours. She was pleased.

Rytary?
Any benefits of
Rytary
over c/l? I’ve been having trouble with my c/l not working as fast or as long. She recommended maybe trying
Rytary
but from what I found on the net it’s pretty much c/l. Am I missing something?

Rytary vs sinemet
I switched from 25/100 sinemet four-five times to
Rytary
36.25/145 three times a day. I am experiencing increased dyskinesia on
Rytary
. I was expecting it to decrease. Anyone else have this issue?

I've stopped Rytary.
[i]Initially the convergence problem seemed better with the
Rytary
but when I quit taking it the double vision didn't recur. I see the neuro sometime this month for a botox injection so I'll ask her about this. Is it possible the
Rytary
was causing the convergence problem???

Withdrawal signs?
I stopped
Rytary
two weeks ago and the convergence problem has subsided. But the other sign--constipation--has not. I've had headache constantly as well. I don't have any other signs. No stiffness or slowness. I've been on
Rytary
for a year.
