I've been trying it but I've decided to stop because it's just not helping me. But before I do I thought it would be smart to see if anyone is having better luck. It's too bad it didn't help me because I get it for free and it' costs most people (here in the US) about $4000/mo. But oh well. If nobody has any ideas about ways to make it more effective, I'll just cancel and send what I've already gotten back.
Is anyone else trying Gocovri for better ... - Cure Parkinson's
Is anyone else trying Gocovri for better sleep?
GOCOVRI® (amantadine) helps treat dyskinesia and OFF time in people with Parkinson's disease.
Amantadine - the non-extended version gave me 100% insomnia and it was horrible. Severe panic attacks from lack of sleep. Worse drug I have ever been on.
I found that if I took it at bedtime, I would wake up after exactly 2 hours and then be awake the rest of the night. So now I take it when I get up to use the bathroom around 4 am, then go back to sleep for 2 hours and am up by 6. It really does help with dyskinesia.
Gocovri gives me hallucinations & crazy dreams at the prescribed dosage (200mg) but my on time is better with it. At a lower dose (137mg) I see texture as very highly defined which is probably the base of the hallucinogen ramp for me..
