When the Meds Stop Working: The Battle with OFF Time


Listen Later

Ever feel like your Parkinson’s meds just… ghost you? One minute you’re moving fine, the next—your leg won’t budge, your brain’s in a fog, and you’re freezing in the middle of a bathroom stall. Welcome to Off Time. Jiql3RvQOCvsqKZBWtjH

In this brutally honest and surprisingly funny episode, Bryce unpacks what it’s really like when the meds stop working. He shares his personal strategies for tracking symptoms, adjusting medication timing, handling awkward moments, and staying sane when Off Time hits at the worst time.

This episode is packed with practical tools, real stories, and the kind of truth you won’t hear in a neurologist’s waiting room—but should.

⏰ What You’ll Learn:

  • What Off Time really feels like (spoiler: it’s not just a slow day)
  • How to track your personal med timing patterns
  • Why protein might be messing with your meds
  • The power of honest communication with family, friends, and coworkers
  • How to stop apologizing for needing rest

🔁 Bryce-ism of the Episode:

“It’s not me being lazy or moody—it’s my dopamine ghosting me.”

⚠️ Important Note

This is my personal Parkinson’s medication journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and medication plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or treatment, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.
