1 -25/100 and 145 mg Rytary helps with off time when I run out of dopamine, I have to sit down and wait for pills to kick in, but the Rytary helps with that now, but I’m very stiff and achy in leg and arm since on Rytary, anyone else experiencing stiffness with Rytary? I wish these meds didn’t have all the extra junk filler ingredients. Thank you, Maria

I take Rytary and when my meditation is wearing off I get stiffness and cramping in my left calf and the back of my left leg. I believe this is just part of my Parkinson’s symptoms because it goes away when my meditation begins working again.

I stopped the rytary and now take extra sinemet...1 1/2 c/l 25/100 and I feel better than on Rytary. It didn't work as well for me. especially in the stiffness and cramping dept. Sinemet works almost immediately, like 20 minutes on an empty stomach, which I prefer.

I have been taking c/l. Was 4 times a day. Now at 5 times a day. I have to take one in the middle of the night. The off symptoms I have starts with toes on my right cramping and then it creeps up my leg and then to my abdomen. This lasts about 45 minutes to an hour before the med starts working
