Another question: How close is Sinemet ER, which will cost me a great deal less than Rytary, to Rytary itself. That is a question for my neurologist

Hello @hjscheib,

I'm not sure that I'm familiar with Sinemet ER. I do take a med that has the brand name of Stalevo (generic name:
carbidopa/levodopa/entacapone). From my understanding, the ingredient, entacapone, is the part of the med that makes the Sinemet stay in the brain longer. Is this what you mean by Sinemet ER?

If so, I have taken one a day for a number of years and I've found it very helpful.

I would be interested in finding out more about your decision. Would you post an update?
