Has anyone had to stop taking carbidopa/levodopa because of tingling sensations?

Thanks Kazz88

We have pretty much eliminated any prescribed meds. except carb/lev. Anxiety and whole-body tingling are what we are up against. We are trying an array of supplements but not having much luck yet. Camomille and B12 help a bit. We will keep trying. We are even considering medical hypnotism to see if it is possible that an underlying issue besides PD is at work. Who knows?

I use and sell a CBD product called UltraCell and it has eliminated many of my Parkinson’s symptoms including the tingling in my feet

Hi Chazz, I have only just started getting that tingling in both arms off and on not all the time
I thought it was from the DBS but sounds like it could be medication side effect? Oh well can't get in to see my specialist till 13th Nov
