I have read mixed reports from patients who have tried it, who here is taking it and for how long, is it better than regular C/L or CR C/L? Thanks!

My Pharmacist told me that Rytary was no better than the ER (extended release) levodopa which gives me 5 to 6 hours of relief so I just use the ER. The cost was the same as the regular Levodopa (with insurance my co-pay cost is $15/mo).
