Are you taking c/l cr (continuous release)? When I changed to the continuous release my nausea went away. Why are you taking both? I'm sorry it's not working for you.Do you take it with food? I find that helps and someone posted that food helps the continuous release form.
I Don’t understand your reply do you take continues release or do you take the regular
I take continuous release now.
In other words you take the long acting? That’s the one that hurt my stomach. Do yo take generic? What company? How many do yo take?
I take one 25/100 c/l cr pill 3 x a day at 6 hour intervals. So usually at 8am, 2 pm and 8 pm. I always eat something with it even if it is a light snack. The manufacturer is Sunpharma . Since I started it, I no longer have any stomach issues like I did with the immediate release c/l. I hope you find a solution.
We are told here over and over not to consume food especially Proteins ahead or with the medication so I assume you are not. I can not do it . I must eat before each dose to avoid stomach pain and nausea. I was told by an old pharmacist that Dairy products are a type of protein that interferes less with the uptake of the medication. I take a big glass of milk and something like cereal or crackers with cheese before the meds , no pain or nausea, works for me, now 15 years .
Marijuana!! It helps my nausea.
Talk to your doctor about taking Rytary. It is a slow release version of Carbodopa/Levodopa. It works better than Sinemet CR.
Help! How do you time your eating with taking Sinemet?
Sinemet CR and sleep
Insomnia and Sinemet
Fast acting Levodopa?
