Diagnosed with PD at age 62. I am now 78. I take 8 capsules of Rytary 245 daily and supplement with carbidopa/levodopa 25/100 as needed. It is the best extender so far.

When I was put on Rytary my symptoms improved a lot. Very happy with this medicine. Have been on for 2 years at the lowest dosage and so far still working. I also take Pramipexole with it.
