Hello @hjscheib and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect's Parkinson's discussion group. You asked how to contact the PAN Foundation for help with medication costs. Here is their website, https://www.panfoundation.org/.

If you are comfortable sharing more: how long ago were you diagnosed with PD? Have you tried other meds before Rytary? What is the most difficult symptom you are now experiencing?

I understand that Rytary is quite expensive. You mentioned that after 8 weeks on Rytary you are just feeling "so-so." Did your doctor mention how long you needed to use it before you would be aware of any improvement?

Thanks for the Pan Foundation website. I will get in touch with them to find out if I can find some cost support for Rydary. I posted my costs in the previous response. I've been a PD patient now for exactly 6 years on August 15th. I have been taking carbidopa/levodopa, 25-100 mg tabs, 2 per dose, 3 times per day, coupled with Azilect (rasagilene,
mg, for "blocking" the development of the disease and reducing the PD symptoms; and venlafaxine, 225 mg, dose per .day
