In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, The Bad, and The Reality, Bryce breaks down his personal medication journey over the last 15 years of living with Parkinson’s—from his very first prescription to his current daily routine.

He shares what worked, what didn’t, and how his approach has evolved through three key stages:
 • 0–5 years post-diagnosis
 • 5–10 years in
 • 10–15 years and beyond

Current Daily Medications:
Bryce now takes approximately 35–40 pills per day, including:
• Levodopa/Carbidopa – 4 pills every 3 hours, ~7x/day
• Pramipexole – 3x/day
• Slow-release Levodopa/Carbidopa – 1 pill at bedtime
• Vitamin D3 (2,500 IU) – daily with dinner
• Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin (1,000 mcg) – upon waking
• High blood pressure medication – once daily
• Magnesium and melatonin as needed

He talks honestly about timing, side effects, protein interference, on/off cycles, and how he manages the mental load of staying consistent. This episode offers a candid, real-world look at the realities of Parkinson’s medication—and why no two paths are exactly the same.

What Listeners Are Saying:

“Thank you so much for being open and honest—it helps more than you know.”
