I Was Just Diagnosed With PD & The DR. Prescribed Carbidopa/Levodopa.

I am in an early stage as my only symptoms are left hand tremor at rest. Anyhow, I took the meds for several days but they made me feel awful. So since it is not a "cure" I was wondering why take it at this point of time? Especially since it makes me nauseous.

That happens to most of us, I think. Usually I'll remember things I forget but it comes back a little while later.

I hope you got my post about delaying carbadopa/levadopa. I did that too until my syptoms because worse. That helped my mental state as well as my body. Hope you can delay it too.
