Teresa--

Yes, had a teleconference with my doctor this past Friday and we both agreed that I would give up Rytary after about 9-10 weeks on the drug. It is too expensive and I had multiple side affects from it - increased anxiety; overall tiredness, especially in the thighs; extreme nervousness; little strength for Rock Steady Boxing, etc. I am now returning to carbidopa/levodopa (4X per day, 2 @25-100mg), 4X per day; and one Azilect at 1.0mg. I am feeling much better - calm and getting my strength back, no overall physical tiredness. If I need to have the off-time -= toward the end of each dosing period, he will prescribe a drug like Oreanz ((spelling?) and that should help me in the near and mi-range future. Howard
