Rush is right.

From the September issue of Ladies Home Journal
LHJ: What medications do you take on a regular basis?
MJF: I'm on levodopa and dopamine agonist. Lately I have also been taking a medication to reduce dyskinesia [abnormal involuntary movements], which is a side effect of the levodopa. [EDITOR'S NOTE: See "What Is Parkinson's Disease?"]
LHJ: Do you have to be careful to time your medication to be effective when you have things to do, so the shaking and tics are lessened?
MJF: Yes. Timing meds is a matter of responding to symptoms as they appear. Or even better, anticipating symptoms and taking meds beforehand. Because everyone's PD is different, it's an always-changing process. It can sneak up on you. If I forget, I get into a cycle of catching up, and it can throw the day off.
