Difference between Carbidopa/levodopa and BENSERAZIDE CHLORHYDRATE / LEVODOPA
My husband's been on Modopar (BC/L) for 18 months now and still waiting for the honeymoon to begin !! He's finding it harder and harder to walk in the afternoon, due to overworking aswell. His doc who we see wvery 6 months to dictate the prescription just wants to up the dose (currently at 4 x 25/100

Update on Sinemet Nausea and Fatigue
His solution was to add an additional 25 mg
carbidopa
(take one with each CL 25/100). It took a while for the pharmacy to fill the Rx, so I just received it on Monday evening (today is Thursday) .

First time carbidopa levodopa user
Well I tried my first dose of
carbidopa
levodopa last night and I only took a half a tab of a controlled dose to try it out and all I can tell you is I still feel the after affects. I’m not sure if this is normal or not but I feel like I’ve been smoking pot all night.

Doing better without Carbidopa/Levodopa...??
My husbands Sinemet was slowly increased to 1200 mg per day since his Dx 3 yrs. ago. He was a mess with this high dose. He was falling asleep mid sentence. He had no motivation to do anything. . It did not improve his main symptoms (balance issues, low voice, stiffness, shuffling and feeling “stuck”

Niacin and Butyrate: Nutraceuticals Targeting Dysbiosis and Intestinal Permeability in Parkinson’s Disease

carbidopa
is reduced conversion of tryptophan to niacin. Sinemet dose and frequency are increased over time as PD symptoms worsen, but concurrently side-effects also worsen. https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/1/28/htm

Reclass injection
Presently, I am taking
Carbidopa
/Levodopa - one tablet three times a day. I have been diagnosed with low bone density. My doctor recommended a once a year injection of Reclass to improve my low bone density. Has anyone one with Parkinson taken Reclass? If yes, were there any side effects?
