Gbaby58, I had that experience with. Insurance not covering extra carbidopa. My daughter heard from a co-worker about PAN Foundation, an organization that will pay the extra cost of uninsured meds. They actually sent me a grant for $3,000, good from 12/2020 to 3/2022. I haven't used it because right now I'm not takinh C/L at all. Feel better without it at the moment. Go to PAN Foundation online to apply for help.

The doctor changed my CL to (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) and 8:00. A lot easier to remember. Have alarm set on my iPad.

I take CL 25/100. My script says take 2 tablets 3 x/day. I wouldn't want to be without it. So I take a total of 6 tablets per day.

My husband takes c/l 50/250 3xday was increased from 25/100 2years ago. He has been on it since 205 10 years before he was diagnosed with PD. But we were going thru VA and they tried everything to not give him a diagnosis. finally after a DATscan they had to agree.
