New Year? New Drug Regimen!


I visited my neurologist yesterday.  In general, she’s pleased as punch that the disease is not progressing, and she adjusted my meds as follows.

As before, I’ve included medications prescribed by my primary care physician, such as Androgel and Simvastatin.

And please note:  This is my schedule for Monday-Friday, when I get up at 4:00 a.m. for work, which I realize is insane.  On weekends, I adjust the schedule depending on when I wake up.


Morning

R = Ropinirole 0.5 mg; S = Sinemet 25/100; A = Amantadine 100 mg 

4:00 –>  Wake up.  Slather on 4 pumps of Androgel.  Take R (2 tabs), S (2 tabs), A (1 tab).  Also 1 tab of Bystolic (10 mg) to lower blood pressure.

4:45 –>  Eat breakfast.

5:30 –>  Leave home for school.

6:45 –>  Take S (1.5 tabs) + Clonazepam (1 mg.).

9:30 –>  Take R (2 tabs), S (1.5 tabs), A (1 tab).

11:15 –>  Take Clonazepam (0.5 mg.).  Eat lunch.

Afternoon + Evening

1:00 –>  Take R (2 tabs), S (1 tab).

3:30 –>  Take (1 tab), Clonazepam (0.5 mg.).  Leave school.

6:00 –> Take (1 tab) (if I need it because, say, we’re going out for dinner…).

8:00 –>  Go to bed.  Take Clonazepam 1.25 mg, Nortriptyline 75 mg, Simvastatin 20 mg (1 tab).
