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.
I've been on this med for 6 months and not much different in my tremors
Anyone take this RX and if so, did you experience severe hallucinations?
You must be one of the lucky ones, It's a very strong and addictive drug

Hi Everyone,
I've been taking Levodopa for sometime to curb my resting hand tremors in my left hand. Lately the tremors are increasing to point where I consulted with my doctor for alternatives to take. I was prescribed to take Trihexyohenidyl with my Levodopa which I read has numerous side effects such as confusion. I am very hesitant to try as I am concerned of the negative side effects and what it will create while I'm out with friends or at work.

Leon doesn't have side effect with 2 mg Trihexyphenidyl, Artane, everybody is different though.
I only take carbidopa/levodopa 4 times a day.
yeah, I am having the same problems. Taking same meds. Dr. just added Trihexyphenidyl. He's hoping to ease the muscle tremors and weakness and help me walk....Gail
Dr suggested adding to reduce tremors.
Leon had to stop taking it. It made his constipation much worse. Now he only takes Sinemet three times a day.
Hi, What are the side effects?
Thx Rosie
