What are shadows
Thank You Donna! I'll definitely spread the a Joy!
l'm concerned that my neurologist isn't regulating my dosage c/l dopa.
How many Sinemit (also called carbidopa/levodopa) tablets one should take depends on one's condition (or the stages of PD), the dosage of the tablets, how many tablets, and the dosage, if any, you… read more
I was just talking to someone in the drug section at publix who asked me why i did not take Sinemet instead of Carbidopa, after I had a problem with the new manufacturer they were using for my Carbi.

There seems to be neurological disagreement about this, and presumably the disagreement is addressed in the American Neurological Society's Guidelines for treatment, but you have to be a member to see them.
I’d appreciate any help or opinions on this.
Thank you!

Things to consider if you feel that your medication is wearing off there are two types of medication you can get to help with this if you're taking levodopa they are called stalevo and entacapone. Both these drugs lengthen the life of levodopa they can generally can give 6 hours per dosage by taking them at the same time as the levodopa
They also do not have a wearing off effect i.e not working effectively after taking them for a while like Levodopa does
Other than them you can also try a… read more
