Advice & Tips
I absolutely cannot take more than half the prescribed lowest dosage due to projectile vomiting. I was given this in replacement of Carabadopa Levidopa combo which is a medication that should be removed from the market. The side effects of the caridopa-levidopa were worse than I could have ever imagined.. My on of time went for 6 hours down to less than half an hour with a week. I was constantly falling whille walking.
