Repost with more info: peripheral neuropathy
It's more noticeable in the afternoon and evening, and follows the curve of response to
carbidopa
-
levodopa
throughout the day. Best in the morning, worse mid afternoon, and late evening. It's more pronounced on my left side, as are my motor symptoms. When I'm ON, I don't notice it.

Vyalev, steady levodopa/carbidopa infusion, now available in Canada
It is usually used with
carbidopa
, which stops the body from breaking down
levodopa
, so that more is available to form dopamine.
Carbidopa
also works to reduce the amount of
levodopa
that needs to be taken, helping to limit its side effects.

madopar vs sinemet
I’m planning to switch from sinemet 125 mg (
levodopa
carbidopa
combination) immediate release to madopar Controlled release 125 mg (
levodopa
benserazide). Based on your experience, do you think it’s safe n is a good idea?

Nicotine Patch helps immensely.
carbidopa
levodopa
!!! Early in my Parkinson’s diagnosis, I felt better when I didn’t take the medicine. So I stopped cold turkey. I know how stupid that was. I nearly died of neuro malignant syndrome. Do yourself a favor and go buy a 7 mg nicotine patch.

Weaning off high dose Pramipexole
My neurologist addressed it by a pramipexole vacation and prescribed
carbidopa
levodopa
for 3 months. Seemed odd as it is a dopamine drug but it worked to knock back the symptoms to the evening. . Then over time I started adapting and required higher and higher doses.

DHIVY
I’m taking two
carbidopa
levodopa
at 25/100 and the tremors are much much worse and stiffness is worse as well. I can’t take any more than two a day because my gut will not take it and the pain in my stomach becomes much much worse as well.

Wondering if dad has RLS instead of PD (or both?). Any RLS indicators here?
Reason being was he started on
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
(Sinemet) 25/100 mg in combination with Mirapex 0.125, 2x a day as his regimen. Helped with moving faster and more precise for 2 weeks. But when both doses increased to 3x a day = hallucination side effect, taken for 5 weeks.
