I Started Taking Ongyntis About 6 Weeks Ago And Found It To Be A Big Help To Assist Me During My "off Time". What Are The Side Effects?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
New York, NY1

During the short time I'm taking the 50mg caps, I have been having weird dreams and a feeling of nausea when I wake up. They might be side effects of the meds. I have been taking carbidopa/levodopa for 5 years and I take the Ongyntis as a boost once a day at bedtime. The medication has no generic therefore it's expensive,

Not currently, but some pills trigger it. Ongentys was the worst.

Anyone Taking Rytary?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Denver, CO

My neurologist recently changed my meds to Rytary. It seems to be working better then the generic C/L.
It's incredibly expensive ($1300/mo). Of course now being on SSDI I couldn't afford it.
At first my health insurance declined to cover it. Then suddenly they flipped and informed they would cover it. So now it's only $25/mo.
Has anyone else had that sort of experience?
Or has there been undesirable side effects with this med?
