Has anyone tried this? For Parkinson patients it is prescribed to make the levodopa effects last longer. On those really bad days we all have it seems as if I am dosing myself every 4-6 hours. I only take 1/2 of a 25/50 pill at a time but it would be great if I would be able to stretch that out to every 8 hours before symptoms start in again

Sorry. Didn't catch that I didn't tap the 2 hard enough. Should have read 25/250 levodopa/,vanilla. Also ran across a med named Stalevo that is a combo of levodopa, carbidopa and entacapone.

No way to turn spell check off on this stupid Amazon tablet (,don',t get one). Obviously I am not taking vanilla. Should be levodopa
