Yes, see the previous "reply" from me. Dropping the Rytary and moving back to carb./levo, and adding a dose by giving 4 doses, 4 times daily, so he (my neurologist) figures the 4 doses spread throughout the day should cover my off-periods and prevent any tremor or reduce automatic movements (any dyskinesia) a 3-dose regimen would not cover. Best of all, though, is that, overall, I feel stronger physically and more like my old self, without the tiredness feeling, without feeling particularly drained before I try to exercise, I'll be attending my first Rock Steady boxing session tomorrow and predict I will feel stronger, and get less worn out during the Rock Steady hour-long session. I also take 1 1/mg Azilect (rasageline) pill (once daily) to prevent the PD from worsening, and to keep the symptoms relatively mild and reduce the physical effects from worsening.
We lowered the dose and see how it goes. I might go back to C/L if I am still having issues.
