Avoid levodopa phobia
- Earlier use of
levodopa

Hello all! Curious if anyone in the group has ever dealt with being resistant to LD out there? I’m curious BC I have gut issues and I think I may be resistant to l-dopa. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

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?

Update on Sinemet Nausea and Fatigue
I originally posted on this topic about 2 weeks ago (post copied below). I finally got in touch with my MDS at Northwestern in Chicago regarding this issue. 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
