Anyone experience a wearing off cough/shortness of breath?
Hi everyone, does anyone experience a ‘wearing off’ cough or shortness of breath? Not much info out there other than it is not determined if it is the meds, PD, or wearing off. Hubby is experiencing this the last few weeks and it seems to happen during wearing off, it’s an awful cough and tight chest

How Much Carbidopa Levodopa After 5-10 Years? Any other meds?
I am about to "celebrate" the six year anniversary of my Parkinson's disease diagnosis. I currently take five 25/100 Carbidopa Levodopa tablets per day, usually around 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. although timing varies slightly from day to day. Lately, I have noticed that I

One whole tablet or two halves?
According to a new American study, taking two half tablets instead of one whole tablet of the C/L medication reduces fluctuations in the active substances in the blood and thus the risk of movement disorders such as dyskinesia. A combination tablet typically works for two to four hours - for extended-release

Interesting(and extremely painful)side effect from Parkinson's to be aware of.
I am 68 year old male who was diagnosed with Parkinson's 8 years ago. Recently I sustained an injury to my lower back/hip area that was diagnosed as a strained QL muscle. My PT told me to slow down with my workouts and physical activities so I did but I continued to have extremely painful and debilitating

Variation in dose: doctor to doctor
We often hear the following said to help explain the difference in drug regimen between one PD patient and another: "all patients are different". At its simplest in a regimen formed entirely of carbidopa/levodopa we see daily doses of between 50 and 2000mg, perhaps more. While it's likely that the

Is Rytary really working better than Carbidopa/Levodopa?
I’ve had PD for at least 5 years but it was only diagnosed 1 year ago. I started on Carbidopa/Levodopa 25/100, 3x a day and then went up to 4x a day. Primary troubling symptom is peripheral neuropathy and toe curling which causes balance issues and painful walking. Secondary symptoms are weakness, lightheadedness

Co-Careledopa - what does science say - when to start taking
Hello, I was diagnosed Macrh '22. My doctor prescribed me 12.5mg / 50mg, two tablets to be taken three times per day. I feel fine just taking 1 tablet per day, two if I have a stressful day at work. Though I can imagine stepping up to two per day soon. I recently saw my Doctor. He recommended,

Hello everyone. Curious if anyone has any idea of any PD medication that is easier on the gut, than carbidopa levodopa. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Tremors are still there
Hi all, recently diagnosed, 65, overweight, but active. I started 4 weeks ago with 25/100 Carbidopa-Levodopa , 3 pills a day. I am taking them every 8 hours without side effects. I am disappointed that my right hand tremors (main motor problem) are still constantly there. They have never disappeared

When will we reconcile with the fact that there is no cure now? Possibly never?
This is a vent. Sorry for this, but I am frustrated with the disease and the daily stress of living with it. People don't understand what we're going through and have limited patience with our strange condition. Family and friends who observe us at close quarters start to form their own opinions about
