What Are The Side Effects Of Rytary?

I have Paarkinsons My neurologist Is recommending a medication change I currently take ropinerole, amantadine, azilect(which was just changed to rasagiline), and stalevo100. He is wanting to replace my stalevo with Rytary. My understanding is that Rytary comes with alot of side affects. I am also Diabetic , use insulin and am seen 3-4 x year by an endocronologist. Im also seeing regularly my primary care doctor 3-4 times a year (or more if needed). The side effects of these meds are enough to scare me away from taking them and have me all confused which direction to head in. What would you do first to minimize the possible side effects during the trasitions,
