I can not take any extender that is used for Carbidopa-Levodopa.

This includes any extender one that is added to Carbidopa-Levodopa or any that are stand alone. This includes For me Rytary, Sinemet time release. If i take any extended release Carbidopa-Levodopa i have bouts of depression , i cry for no reason. I get angry i cuss and fuss. I can not think about any thing without crying and i just set down, I stopped taking Carbidopa-Levodopa. ext meds a week ago and have been doing great.

If not rytary what do you take?

My mom recently went to rytary from sinemet. After one week, she is doing worse on rytary.

carbidopa levodopa 25/100

How about rasagiline? That effectively lengthens the time that the dopamine formed from levodopa hangs around in the brain.
