20 Minutes After Taking Levadopa My Tremors Increase...does Anyone Experience This?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

This happens like clockwork. Also my off periods worsen as the day goes on. Early evening/late afternoon are the worse quite often going on for several hours without a break....it is exhausting

Sorry to hear about tremors occurring after taking Levodopa. From a seminar I listened to sounds like you are "OFF" to long before your dose and the Levodopa has to play catch up. I took both the reg Carbidopa and ER Carbodopa together to help the reg Carbodopa last till the next dose so I wouldn't have the off time and catch up to do. Doing pretty good now with last med adjustment. Good Luck.

I also had several side effects and had to be taken off it. Check all the side effects and talk with your neurologist.

Actually my hand tremors are almost gone. My walk is better (but not my balance ) and now I am worried about my memory, mild hallucinations, andtrouble focusing.
