Is anyone using Rytary?

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?

See comment below about current dose/dosing of Rytary VS a switch to Stalevo. Thanks for sharing the correct Sinemet ER formulation.The really positive thing about Rytary is that it does not go thru your stomach or digestive track, so you never have the nausea that sometimes accompanies Sinemet.
