A second opinion sounds like an excellent idea.
So what replaces Levadopa if only carbadopa is prescribed?
From what I understand carbidopa by itself is not effective for Parkinson's. It's job is to help levodopa across the blood brain barrier to become Dopamine.
There seems to be neurological disagreement about this, and presumably the disagreement is addressed in the American Neurological Society's Guidelines for treatment, but you have to be a member to see them.
I’d appreciate any help or opinions on this.
Thank you!

My pharmacy just gave me the generic version. Should I be concerned, or should I speak to my neurologist? Not sure if I should wait for a brand name of the drug before starting it.
