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

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.
