Does anyone here go through this? Im at my wits end and so is my wife. Feels like i am going to die everytime.
Im at the point where I cant breathe, cant move, in pain and extremely nervous. This lasts until the next dose kicks in whenever it decides to that is.
Anthony, like you ,I'm sick and tired of taking pills. Take one to fix this problem and and hope it doesn't create another. Wishful thinking!! Oh, least I forget,fitting into your timing schedule!! But anyway, I've just started Retary. It seems to work ok.
thanks, yes I did but the thing is i dont want to take anymore drugs. More drugs, more problems...for me anyway.
Have you spoken to your neurologist? There are drugs that can extend the effectiveness of c/l to lessen the off periods or you could switch to an extended release version of carbidopa. A duopa pump might also be an option.
I take ER C/L, but then take a regular C/L in between doses and I chew that one so that it gets into my system faster, since the dissolvable one is no longer available. It starts working within 10 minutes when I chew it, although you feel like you have a mouthful of chalk, but there is no taste, thank goodness! I take the ER tablet 3 times a day and the regular tablet twice a day, in between the ER doses as needed.
Only thing I take at the moment. I take 3 pills 3x per day..8, 2, 8
