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.

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.
