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.

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