Hi Tony, 
my doctor wanted me to try rytary out also. I am now in my 4th day!! 

I was on a 2 hour regime with the sinemet with no hallucinations etc. So I am supposedly a good candidate for rytary. BUT, what I was not told was that it takes 2 - 4 weeks for the body to adjust to rytary. In the meantime, I started have fierce tremors which started up very suddenly. So yesterday, I was told to take sinemet when this happens. Today, I am to start a diary of when I have to take the sinemet to stop the tremors. I am now up to a three hour break from tremors today - 4th day. Tomorrow may be longer breaks - who knows.

All I do know from this experience is that please get as much information as you can from the the doctor before your wife starts with rytary. I did not have all the information and had a rough day yesterday until I got the information I needed.

best,
Nancy
