Does anyone take trihexyphenidyl and Carbidopa-Levodopa? I take the trihexyphenidyl 1 tablet 3 times and Carbidopa-Levodopa 1 tablet 5 time

5 times a day. I find that sometimes I take the Carbidopa-Levodopa and it is not consistent. Sometimes it works in about an hour and sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Same thing with the Carbidopa-Levodopa. If you have this problem and found a way to keep it consistent, I would like to hear about it.

If you eat protein within 1/2 hour before or 1 hour after taking your Carbidopa/LevDopa the protein competes with C/L thereby reducing the effectiveness of the drug.
