Do you have any side affects with Rytary? My one and only real complaint about Sinemet is the sweating at night. Does Rytary do that?

I take Rytary and I get the sweat more than before when when I was on generic carbo/levodopa. I think Parkinson’s progresses it’s part the show. I know for myself it’s really put a spin on me and my life I think every time you change your doses.go into another state of mind. My old Nero I used to say don’t take it if makes you shake. That’s when I had 11 years in this body invasion take over. I think he didn’t know anything, what’s going to happen . I was taking about 11 doses 1.5 25/ 100

tablet of carbo/levodopa a day.He cut me back to 4 doses.about a day later,my Parkinson’s really took a turn. I went from walking and crawling to home care and wheelchair. He cut my does in half

No such experience please keep in mind that each of us reacts differently to the same medication

I was on increasing amounts of Sinemet for12 years. I was switched to Rytary about a year and a half ago. While I take it every four hours for four doses a day, I find it carries over with very little off time. There was some initial adjustment to find the correct dose for me, but it was an easy switch. I feel very fortunate to have found a drug that helps so well as I have had late onset

Parkinsons for 14 years. I hope you have a similar experience if you try it.

Only 72% "covered by tremors". That's nothing. My body was 84% covered by tremors of various different colours. But after taking some herbs at definitelynotascam.com under the supervision of Dr Pewee Hermann, I made a full recovery and my balance is so good now I am representing the republic of Balonistan in the Gymnastic section for the over 50's.
