This Question Concerns Carbidopa/levadopa Medication.

Anyone have any experience with it. I take 3 100 mg tabs in the morning, at mid day and in the early evening. My problems come in the morning.
o drink 2.5 glasses of water before I take the morning dose and it can take as long as 2 hours to get all three pills down into my stomach. Anyone have any insight?

Try taking your pills with applesauce.

I take 6 immediate release and a total of 5 continuous release CL(25-100 each) over the course of a day (in 3doses@ 7am, 12, 5pm). I don't drink water except to take the pills, but drink more thruout the day (MD recommends + 1l/day). ( I also take omeprazole for my reflux 1 hr after CL and 1/2 hr before eating in the am.) Perhaps eating an hour after taking the CL would help the 💊 get thru better. Good luck. Have a good rest 😴 tonight. ❤️. 🙃

My husband was told to use applesauce, yogurt or pudding to get his pulls down. Of you continue to have issues speak with your prescribing doctor about the symptoms you are having. Beat of luck
