Hi alreadybutnotyet,
The posts from johnt and soccertese are quite comprehensive, but I think I've managed to come up with a small contribution as well. As soccertese said, timers/alarms can help you take your medications at the right time. My advice is to get the timing sorted out first (with timers/alarms), and then see if you still have a problem. If you then think you need to increase your dose (and if your tablets are double scored) you could try 1.25 tablets every 2 hrs (since 1.5 tablets every 2 hrs causes you to get dyskinesia). I take three quarters of a Madopar 125 tablet 6 times a day. These tablets are double scored, and I have a pill cutter. I also have a 7-compartment pill container that I load up with my 6 doses each evening (ready for the next day) so all my pill cutting gets done in one session. I have 6 alarms set up on a smartphone to control the timing during the day. Jeff |
