I took it for about a week.
Side effects were more pronounced than levadopa for me.

I haven't tried yet but was thinking about it after seeing multiple posts boasting the results! If any issue like your husband's comes up, I would contact neurologist asap, good luck!!!

Has anyone else experienced side effects with Crexont for Parkinson's?
Crexont is an extended-release form of [[treatment:levodopa/carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]] designed to provide a slower, more stable release of medication to help reduce "wearing-off" periods between doses. It's one of the newer formulations aimed at smoothing out dopamine levels throughout the day.
The sensation your husband is experiencing—legs feeling asleep—could be related to several factors. It might be a side effect of the medication itself, or it could indicate that the dosing or timing needs adjustment. Extended-release formulations work differently than immediate-release versions, and finding the right dose can take time.
Some things to consider discussing with his doctor:
* Whether the current dose or timing needs adjustment
* If he's experiencing "off" periods when medication levels drop
* Whether this sensation occurs at specific times of day
* If switching back to or combining with immediate-release levodopa might help
It's important to report this symptom to his neurologist or movement disorder specialist. They may need to adjust the medication regimen, change the timing, or consider alternative treatments to better manage his symptoms.
