Has Anyone Switched From Amantidine To GOCOVRI? What Results Did You Experience?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had to go off amantadine because of side effects and the doctor wants me to take GOCOVRI. However, my insurance won't pay for it. Has anyone stopped Amantadine and had better results with GOCOVRI?

Are you using anything else for dyskinesia?

My Doctor Just Put Me On The Drug Gocovri Yesterday.
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Can anyone out there give me some feed back on this drug if they use it or tried it. Dr. said it was for shorter OFF times and milder dyskenesia. Also said the drug might be expensive. I have not checked into that yet. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Bean

Hopefully, you're working with your Neurologist. You and your Neurologist will decide whether to increase or decrease your medications. You can take too much also.

Gocovri
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am taking Gocovri for dyiskensias for about 4 years. It's not helping at all. My doctor doubled the dosage from one pill, 137.5 mg. at night to 2 pills at night. I started 2 pills a week ago. I was at least 85 percent better for a week but today it stopped working and the dyskensias are back full force.

Anyone Else On Rytary?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it expensive? My doctor tried to give me a higher dose but it made me too ill. I was throwing up all day. Now îf my insurance would only approve ît! I can't imagine why they are balking unless it is over the cost. I believe it is a newer drug.
