If you are referring to Sinemet, (carbidopa/levadopa), nausea is a common side affect.
I am taking the ER (extended release)} and have no issues.
I have also heard that when starting sinemet, you can take it with food to minimize nausea. After a while, when the body adjusts, you can take it without food. But check with you doc 1st.
What is dosage you are taking?
I switched from taking madopar, which I had no nausea with, to sinemet and have to eat a cracker or biscuit with the sinemet otherwise I vomit...but eating a small amount with it does the trick.
I take it with food and if I still get a little nauseous I take crystallized ginger, available at health food stores. Or real ginger in tea. good for your joints too. What's your dose? mine is 25 mg carbidopa, 100 mg. levadopa.
50/200 ever since i went up PD is a different game nausea dizzyness some times i get symtoms sometimes i hit everyday not the same
I always take my sinemet with either applesauce, pudding or something that will help the pills slide down. I do get nausea somedays, doesn't seem to be a pattern, just some days I am okay and some days I'm not.
MY doctor had me try LODOSYN ( ANOTHER pill) 25 mg to be taken when i take a dose of carbo/ levodopa for nausea etc. it seems to work for me
