Is anyone using Rytary?

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Years ago I was on an antidepressant where I remember telling the doctor that I had lost all emotional highs and lows. For this reason, and since there were numerous alternatives, they switched my medication. But I remember how odd that felt going to a Christmas concert after which I'd normally feel so elated and noticing I felt nothing.

A marked change in sex drive is also a notable side effect.

Does your doctor attribute these changes you've noted in your body to the medication?

My doctor suggested taking a hire dose when I relayed the info. He reamended taking a hire dose. With that, I assume he thinks it was the Parkinson's progression. I have since taken the extra pill with no change on these issues.
