Since June '04, I've been taking 1&1/2, 25/100mg x 3 of C/L per day - a tiny, yellow "round" pill . . . that said, I recently had to switch pharmacies. The new pill is a tiny, yellow "football-shaped" pill. And guess what . . . I feel different results since switching - not better, just different Anyone else have this happen to them?

Yes i have new pills did not work at all.

[NanCyclist]

Both work the same for me.

A friend of mine with PD has found that the same med from different manufacturers often works (or doesn't work as the case may be) very differently. Especially true I guess of those manufactured in other countries, perhaps due to less strict guidelines.

[Joynb]

Actually many other countries have stricter guidelines than the US and do better as a consequence.

Particularly when it comes to controlled release different manufacturers' offerings may work differently.

I had the football shaped pill not work as well. I had the pharmacy get me the round ones

[vincea in reply to cmHunter]

I did the same . . . now I feel almost normal! Little to no shake, etc.

My pharmacy made the same switch. The ‘football’ shaped pill barely fazes my tremor. I’ve just gone back to the other C/L pill you described. I think it’ll make a difference. 🤞🏻
