Has anyone switched from regular Sinemet (Carbidopa/Levodopa) to Sinemet CR? Are there additional side effects?
I was just talking to someone in the drug section at publix who asked me why i did not take Sinemet instead of Carbidopa, after I had a problem with the new manufacturer they were using for my Carbi. It was not reacting with me well.. I did not know why my doctor did not give me Sinemet. Maybe because the price is higher?? I will have to look into that. My question is, do any of you take Sinemet instead of Carbidopa and why, and if you found it to work better,
Lyrica is for pain, helps a little.
2 sinemet five times a day
It's my first time taking the Sinemet CR100/25 for bedtime.Apparently,it has a longer effectiveness. I will see if it will help me get through the night

Has anyone experienced withdrawal sickness from reducing amount of sinemet (C/L)? Dr keeps telling me i need more C/L but more makes me feel sick too! Toxic? Is there a better C/L pill than sinemet?
Thank you! I will ask my dr!
I sithed to Sinemet after being on Rytary due to high cost of Rytary and my insurance not covering it. Sinemet is much cheaper but not time released like Rytary. Now i want to go back on Rytary to mitigate the off periods on Sinemet.
My question is how best to switch back regarding doses. I tale one 25 mg of Sinemet (carbidopa levedopa) 4 x a day.
What dose of Rytary is eqivalent. I need to know because Synemet is troublesome for me now!
Thankyou in advance for your comments!
My husband does not want to take meds due to reaction to amantadine where legs swelled. What does sinemet do for you? Concerned that he might enjoy life more if not so tired physically and could walk at a "normal" speed
