The Value Of Carbidopa Levodopa Demonstrated in Two Signatures
One of the first decisions a PwP must make is when (or whether) to begin taking medication. There is no correct answer and we all know how PD varies from person to person. I held off for 2 1/2 years after my diagnosis, but a relatively minor event today caused me to pause and think about how well sinemet

Sinemet / carbidopa levodopa
“In 1988, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommended that the daily dose of Sinemet should not exceed 800 mg per day, and as of 2013, this recommendation has not been revised. In 2018 the labeling of Sinemet recommends not exceeding a levodopa total daily dose of 2,000 mg per day. As

Levodopa/Carbidopa and vitamin C
I am sorry if this was previously discussed but I couldn't find it anywhere. I was told to take my L/C with Emerg-C but I just can't get it down. Can I take it with an Ascorbic Acid supplement instead?

Ingredients to prevent or slow progression of PD - Knox Van Dyke - Dept of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, West Virginia University
- Levo-DOPA/
carbidopa
dose determined by the physician and best avoided because of toxicity. If Levo-DOPA alone would be available, this would be a more judicious choice. - Chloroquine 200-300 mg every 3rd day. The dose and timing should be confirmed by a physician.

Is Carbidopa/Levodopa 8x’s a day to much when you have the DBS?
My setting is on 3.30 left side, 1.00 right side. My doctor seems to give me more medicine instead of turning it up and I feel like it is causing a lot more symptoms.

However, I posed the same question to my Parkinson’s nurse who basically said that approximately five hours after a dose of immediate release
carbidopa
levodopa there is a "wearing off" and there is no further benefit.

When to increase dosage of Carbidopa/Levodopa
Neurologist said well you can up your dosage of
Carbidopa
/Levodopa - do you want to do that? We both just looked at him and said no. With that he said see you in 6 months. I certainly could have called office or written a message to the doctor with questions via the portal. 1.

Why did adding carbidopa to mucuna make me sick?
The Barlowe's brown mucuna has never made me nauseous before, so I'm confused as to why adding
carbidopa
would affect me that way. I thought it was supposed to have the opposite effect. Is it possible that I need to decrease the amount of mucuna if I take
carbidopa
with it? Thoughts?

Any history with customers with PD med's - Generic Name:

Scheduling meals around taking Carbidopa/Levodopa medication
I have found it challenging to schedule taking my medication: one hour before a meal and two hours after a meal. Recently with my Doctor's approval, I increased my Carbopa/Levodopa 25 dosage from 3 times a day to 4 times a day. The increase has made a difference. I still have difficulty scheduling

This works for me.
I have raised my
carbidopa
levodopa to 1,400mg total a day. I was diagnosed, 2012. Four years ago I was Stage 3 - 4, going down hill fast. THREE years ago I was "blessed" by Doctor Costantini. Presently Stage 1--2.

We need to move more quickly to focused ultrasound (FUS)
About half a century ago, the merrRAdical profession established
carbidopa
/levodopa as the standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease; and it has been so ever since. But replacing dopamine is not a cure, does not always work, and can lose effectiveness over time.

My doctor seems to think that I am not tolerating levodopa/
carbidopa
very well and we are thinking about switching. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
