Starting Rytary tomorrow. Excited and hopeful.
Does anyone else take rytary and carvadopa/levadopa at the same time. I was in the ER because the medication reaction and they said it was because I was taking these 2 meds together. Just wondered if anyone else is on that combination?
My neurologist recently changed my meds to Rytary. It seems to be working better then the generic C/L.
It's incredibly expensive ($1300/mo). Of course now being on SSDI I couldn't afford it.
At first my health insurance declined to cover it. Then suddenly they flipped and informed they would cover it. So now it's only $25/mo.
Has anyone else had that sort of experience?
Or has there been undesirable side effects with this med?

David, I have both as well. I am 69 and was diagnosed 16 months ago. I take my Parkinson meds but still tremor quite a lot. This started for me probably in my early to mid 30s and was never diagnosed… read more
I have noticed in the last year I have muscle fatigue. Walking from the parking lot to my apartment causes it as well as walking in Walmart. Does anyone else have this symptom?
I do also and I can't go much any longer it's hard to walk to the mall box
I have tried a lot of medications, without ANY success.
Carbadopa levadopa helps tremors but that's it
Husband was on seroquel. That was stopped and he started on Nuplazid a couple weeks ago. Seems to be having a rough adjustment period.
Nuplazid has helped my dad so so very much, it’s very expensive but with the help of your neurologist you can get assistance from the Parkinson’s foundation and there are others
