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?

Went to the doctor yesterday and he put me on new Amantadine drug. I know I mentioned it way back when on this site but it was pretty new then and no one knew too much about it. How about now, anyone taking this? Bean
Yes it happened to me. The the doctor increased the dosage and. I began to retain fluid.

Rytary costs us about $300/3mo supply

Thank you for the options. I will ask my neurologist next week.
My husband was put on a higher dose of stelevo as well as adding gocovri to his list of medications. Presently it is working well.
