Never heard of Novira. I'm in the UK so most stuff is free. Trouble is the only med that works for me is the L-dopa. I've tried all the off time meds (Ropinirole, opicapone, entacapone, etc etc) with little to no effect.

However a recent prescription for Clonazapam has really helped with my rigidity, and in turn with my sleep, mood and anxiety.

I started at 0.25mg per day, but only really noticed it working at 0.5mg.

I take a medicine that costs $5000/month. Insurance was going to pay for over half of it.
With internet research, I found the pharmaceutical company who manufactures it. I contacted them and they said they have a grant program that I could apply and see if I qualified. I wrote/ filled in all of their questions and submitted copies of the supporting documentation. Two weeks later, I was approved and started receiving three months of medication, concurrently with the year. Now, annually in January, I send my supporting documentation.
It’s such a blessing! Hope this information may help you with your medication.

My husband has started a 2 week free trial of the Neupro patch which is supposed to help with off periods since it is a 24 hour slow release. I have no idea what it will cost if he does continue with the drug.
