If You Get Sick After Taking Carbidopa, Do You Take Another Dose Or Skip It?
A couple of times lately my husband has thrown up after taking his morning dose of c/l. Since it hadn't had time to dissolve in his stomach, presumably he didn't get any benefit from the pills. OTOH, if it makes him sick, taking another two pills isn't very appealing.
He has been on c/l for 4 years and though it occasionally upsets his stomach, usually he's able to keep the pills down. I'm not sure why suddenly he's become less tolerant.
My husband takes his meds with applesauce, we have found the little go packs work real well!
It negatively effected my intire gastrointestinal system from nausea to constipation. I had an excellent gastro Dr that worked with my neurologist and mutally agreed to discontinue the c/l and use a symptom based tx. It’s my opinion that if a medication has an antinausea med as part of the pill, it must be bad for your gastro system
After 4 years on CL, I became nauseous and developed dyskinesia. I have resorted to Deep Brain Stimulation. Hopefully I can cut back on PD meds. I have high expectations from this procedure and what a process, I just had the second part of the procedure done yesterday. The Nuerology appt. Is in 2 weeks to turn on the brain pacemaker, followed by tune ups till we get the right formula. Then in a few months, have to do the other side of my brain.🧠 I continued my 💊.
