Is anyone taking Carbidopa/Levodopa 50/200 manufactured by Accord? It’s a generic. How is it?

No- mine is from Merck but this time I’ve been given small round yellowtablets whereas always before the tabs have been bullet shaped. Someone I know said that he is certain that the round ones are less effective than the bullet shaped ones.

Hs anyone else found this to be the case?

@PositivePen I’ve experienced just the reverse - I was taking the round yellow ones & was switched to the bullet shaped white ones. Since the switch, I’ve started experiencing extremely vivid dreams and sleeptalking and walking. I can’t help but think there’s a connection. I never had any issues with the round, yellow carbidopa-levodopa pills 25/100. But, as has been noted so often here, we all have different symptoms and side effects.

Caregivers of PWPD, do your people become more self absorbed with themselves, and what they want and do as they advance in the disease?

That is a nice way of saying self centered. Does everything seem to revolve around their wants...
