Nancy, Thanks, Donna is still leery of switching (she is a retired hospice nurse with a degree in patient advocacy). She is taking 1.5 Sinemet 25/100 every two hours with offs coming on just like a light switch and slow recovery. I was hoping the Rytary would smooth things out. Seeing the Neuro next week. We will see. Tony On 6/18/2015 6:02 PM, Nancy Dean wrote: > Hi Tony, > my doctor wanted me to try rytary out also.

BUT, what I was not told was that it takes 2 - 4 weeks for the body to adjust to rytary. In the meantime, I started have fierce tremors which started up very suddenly. So yesterday, I was told to take sinemet when this happens. Today, I am to start a diary of when I have to take the sinemet to stop the tremors. I am now up to a three hour break from tremors today - 4th day. Tomorrow may be longer breaks - who knows. > > All I do know from this experience is that please get as much information as you can from the the doctor before your wife starts with rytary. I did not have all the information and had a rough day yesterday until I got the information I needed. > > best, > Nancy > > >> On Jun 10, 2015, at 2:34 PM, AW Adler <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> >> My wife's neurologist has suggested she switch from Sinemet to Rytary. Does anyone have any experience with the drug? I know it is fairly new to the market and as far as I can tell from the literature just Sinemet in delayed release capsules. >> Tony CG for Donna >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >> In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
