hi -i’m new to the group and started taking Rytary a week ago. It does expand my on time. But I am suffering from tremendous insomnia. We started when I started taking rytary. Has anyone else experience this and if you have, have you found anything that has helped. Having more on time is important I probably won’t be able to enjoy if I can’t get any sleep 🙂 thanks everyone for your input

Hi, I experienced this as well the first week - the second week my doc recommended adding back into my nightly regimen carbadopa/levodopa ER} this worked for me. However, now that I am getting sleep (week 3) I've cut that ER in 1/2 and am only taking 1/2 dose (which is working) to cut it out completely.
The other issue that has emerged is extreme dyskinesia. I've never had it this severely and I'm wondering if my dose is correct - maybe too much.
Anyone else experiences this side effect and found a way to remedy it? Thanks, friends!

I’ve haven’t heard of Rytary. My 48 year old son takes 50 mg of nortriptyline at 10 PM along with 50 mg of Trazadone. at the same time. They help him sleep. Since he lives by himself 3 hours away, I wish he would realize how much we care about him & love him. I spend a lot of time researching and he doesn’t share as much with us as we wish he would so now I need to remain quiet for a few days and let him call us. God bless you, Joanne
