  • Vacation = taking less medication??

    Posted by NormaJean on April 4, 2025 at 7:40 am

    My husband and I spent 17 days in sunny Jamaica. The first couple of days, my Dyskinesis were very bad. I messaged the neurologist, and was told to cut back on my Rytary. As the days went by, I was able to cut my Rytary dose almost in half. Instead of taking 2 Rytary 5 times per day, I was taking 2 Rytary 3 times per day. Has anybody else experienced the same reaction? Maybe I need a prescription to move to Jamaica for the winter….?? LOL

    What happened when you got home? Did you need to go back up?

    And, in jamaica, did you eat healthier, exercise more, relax more?

    I’m actually interested in this question because my family and I will be going on vacation soon and my mom seems to be feeling better, but I’m not sure if vacation = taking less medicine.
