By Mistake I Overdosed On My Rytary 48 Which I Take 4 Times A Day Every 6 Hrs.
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I took two pills instead of one so i skipped the next dose. Now i have shaky hands and cramping toes and rapid heartbeat. Do i take the next dose on schedule at 5 AM today or not? My last dose was at 5 PM yesterday 12 hrs ago..Any advice? Has this ever happened to you?

Sandy, this has happened to me and I can give you the answer my dad, an excellent physician board certified in neurology and psychiatry, would give. If you have missed a dose never take 2 doses at once. Take the one that’s due as soon as possible; if it’s too close to then next dose, hold off and return to your regular schedule. If I’m not mistaken, since my dad died in 2008, the pharmacist told me the same or similar advice. You may have to lay down until the next dose in case the tremor causes you unsteadiness. I hope that helps.

Sandy125,
Gee, I hope someone sees this and can assist you with an answer if not I would maybe phone the pharmacist or dr.'s office. Or someone on here can help you out with an answer since I do not take the meds myself just my hub's. Hope someone can help you out. Try not to worry about this but find out. Hope your day is going ok. Take care, BFN! ❤️🤗🤔😊
