Quick Update
I just wanted to provide a quick update.
Overall I continue to experiment. I now find that (2) 23.75/95 Rytary starting about 6:00 in the morning repeating every 3 hours along with one 81 MG aspirin is my routine. I discontinued the 300 MG Ubiquinol (reduced form CoQ10) a few weeks ago and began Amantadine two capsules 9:30 am and 3:30 pm. Now having much better results but interfering with sleep and produces slight tightness in my head.
More later.

Hi Mr. G,
Probably a mixture of medication side effect (since you're back to the higher amount of Rytary) and operating on only a few hours sleep.
You'll probably do better after a night of sleep.

Hi Doc,
Two weeks with Amantadine and things were going well. Then last night I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 2 am. Nothing wrong-just couldn't sleep. 4am ate a Pollo Loco chicken thigh. 5am started Rytary (2 every three hours)and showered. 6am sitting at my computer II became aware of buzzing in my head, got faint and thought I might pass out. Tried to remove headphones(wasn't wearing any) got up and went to recliner. Buzzing only lasted 2 seconds, no loss of consciousness. Not dizzy, just lightheaded.
Went to urgent care. BP ok, blood sugar good, no weakness, vision/speech good. Dr. said probably medicine related. Still have light headed feeling.
Lack of sleep? Meds?
