Tried it twice with samples from my doctor. No improvement and the side effects were horrible. I find a 15 minute power nap for my dyskinesia a great substitute for dyskinesia meds.

I was on Govorvi and I felt it worked very well actually but the side effects were not so good. I really tried after several nights of insomnia even with the meds I take for sleep ( lorazapham) finally after 3 nights in a row I told my doctor I can’t do it.
I noticed much less dyskinesia, less rigidity which in turn caused a huge reduction of everyday pain.
Also day time fatigue like terminally ill fatigue. It helps with off times as well but I don’t have much of a problem with that anymore since switching over to Rytary!
If you can tolerate the side effects I think you will love it.
I miss it at times

My husband recently finished the free trial bottle that his neurosurgeon gave him. He didn't notice any improvements, maybe slightly, but not enough to be sure it was helping. Given the price, he chose the alternative the doctor gave him of increasing the number of times he takes Amantadine to 3 times a day.
