Hello everyone, I've been taking Gocovri 137mg ER for about six months now to manage the dyskinesia associated with my Parkinson's disease. I've noticed a significant reduction in my 'OFF' episodes so far, but I want to understand the experiences of others who have been taking this medication. I've had some side effects, but they've been manageable, and I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced anything unusual or bothersome. Also, what are some strategies for handling the possible side effects listed on the drug information sheet?

Since getting diagnosed, I've been trying to manage my Parkinson's symptoms. I've heard a lot about Gocovri for controlling dyskinesia and 'off' episodes. Is it as effective as they say? I'm taking levodopa and I'm hoping for a new tool to stay comfortable. I've read about some serious side effects, but I'm wondering if people find the benefits outweight the risks. Gocovri is so pricey, too! Have any of you found alternative solutions for dyskinesia that cost less? I can't imagine it's the only option. I've also heard that Gocovri can help with sleep disturbances, so I'm hoping it might help with my insomnia. How has Gocovri impacted your daily life and quality of life overall?
