![]() Had to move him twice and the stress was getting to me & my neurologist had a baby so a different neuro told me to double my dosage and I was only on 4 per day and none during the night. He eventually couldn't drive & I moved him to Assisted living. 2017 I was really stressed/anxiety due to my mother passed away in 2009 & my brother moved to California 20 yrs ago and my dad started having health issues so I was his caregiver. 2014 - I was having cognitive issues so I retired It really helped when I went back to work. I also had to go off Requip & went on C/L. O 2005 I met someone & we got married in 2014. I had trouble typing on the computer at work so Dr put me on Azilect. O 2004 I had a little more fatigue & a little tremor. O Oct 2003 My husband decided to leave me & I believe the stress from that brought it out. I started running a mini marathon each year & I kept getting slower & my husband would tell me my foot looked funny, my foot was dragging when I ran. Once I was diagnosed I realized I probably had it back in 1995. O 2003 diagnosed - thought I had carpel tunnel. Hopefully this will answer some of your questions, if not I'll try and answer any you might have. ![]() It's very expensive but they gave me a reduction in price because I'm under 65. I think the reason you are supposed to take it at night because it takes around 8 hrs to reach it's peak and then it slowly starts releasing less. Because of the covid-19 I haven't seen my neurologist since January, so I'm anxious to see her and get her opinion. Even with those side effects, I still think the advantages outweigh the negatives. I sleep better but I talk more at night, nothing violent. ![]() My mouth is drier than before but that's usually in the night so I don't notice it as much. My blood pressure is a little lower at times so my balance is not as good and I have to visit the bathroom a little faster. I have a little if I have a lot of anxiety. Now I feel better than I did before taking it but my off to on is pretty shaky but only for maybe a half hour rather than an hour or more. By the next week it seemed like I was almost back to normal. It was after a couple of days that I started feeling better. It worked! I started out with one a day for a week and then the next week I took two a day. Reason I started taking GOCOVRI is because my doctor thought it would help my Sinemet last longer and my off and on time would be smoother. I've been taking GOCOVRI since January 2020 and I used to take one Amantadine twice a day for approximately 10 yrs.
