I have been taking carbidopa levodopa for 12 years. It is the drug I began this journey with and continue to use to this day. Recently, I heard that levodopa can cause hair loss. I bought a wig and will stay with levodopa until it no longer works.

Were you having problems with the carbidopa? Was it ineffective? Jim's doctor tried a couple of drugs in addition to his c/l, but they didn't seem to make much difference so he stopped taking them as the possible side effects were pretty bad.
