More about Rytary Please

I will see my neuro in August and am wondering if i should suggest a switch from Stalelvo 100 to Rytary. The reason is because of the dyskinesia which I thought maybe would be less with Rytary since the meds are spread out more evenly. Has anyone who is on it found that it reduces dyskinesia? Also, does medicare cover it in the USA?

I have been waiting for an answer to this question for a long time. I know of one individual that has successfully taken it for 6 months. He however still needs a lot of meds including Botox injections. My doctor will help me transition to it, but I am reluctant at thispoint. I think Medicare will pay.
