I've been on it since January. It's an ER of Amantadine. The Amantadine was 100 mg & the Gocovri is 2 capsules that total 137 mg. I took one for a week and then 2 from then on. It helps dyskensia and smooths on & off periods. It works good for me. I almost feel "normal over half the time. It took about 5 months for me to feel that way. It helped dyskensia the 3rd week. I have a few side effects with it but the good outweighs the bad. My balance is a little off & have a drier mouth & I believe my hair is getting a little thiner & maybe a little curlier/wavier & I have a more urgent need for the ladies room. I can make it through the night. Hope this helps.

Hey, I been on the 3 month of taking GOCOVRI. I think it’s making me feel worse. I take 1capsule at bed time with 1 1/2 tab clonazepam. I just sleep to 2:00am And daily Rytary 145 take 3 when get up and then take 2 lcapsules 3 times a day. I called my Nero to day wait for call☹️ I was taking regular amandine 2 100mg twice a day. What’s funny about they shipped it to me by Fed-X one month and wrapped cold packs and a insulated wrap.it makes fill liked going to degrade or something like that.And think it’s change my vision
