I've been taking Carbi/levo/entocap 100 Tabs for about a year now to manage my Parkinson's symptoms, and I've seen some noticeable improvements. The combination of levodopa, carbidopa, and entacapone has really helped with my tremors and muscle stiffness. However, I've also experienced some side effects like dizziness and occasional nausea. I'm curious to hear from others who are taking this medication—what has your experience been like? How do you manage the side effects? Are there any lifestyle changes or additional medications that have helped? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice!

I've been on this med for a few months, and I've had a much smoother experience thankfully. Thanks for sharing your story, it’s good to know others are going through similar issues and that there are management options.

I’ve had some trouble with severe dizziness too, but it was my blood pressure, so important to go to the doctor. Don’t just attribute everything to the medication.

This medication is s life-changer. Carbi/levo/entocap has been a godsend for me. I was struggling with the 'wearing off' symptoms between doses, so I started taking my medicine right before I eat breakfast. It keeps me stable for the whole day. I've also cut down on caffeine, which seemed to make my tremors worse. Give it a shot, it might help you too!

I can understand how scary it can be to experience these side effects. If you're having trouble with something, talk to your doctor. We’re all in this together, whether it is Parkinson's or managing the side effects.

I had a similar experience with mood swings, and my doctor suggested adding a small dose of an antidepressant. It's made a big difference for me. Just be sure to talk to your doctor about any changes in medication.

Make sure to eat something with your dose. You should at least eat an apple or something small before taking your meds. Food can really help reduce nausea.

This medication has been a nightmare for me. I've experienced severe dizziness, constant headaches, and my family says I've started to develop some strange urges. I want to quit, but I don't want to deal with NMS. I’m scared to stop but I dont know what else to do.

I've had some really serious mood swings since starting this med. It's been tough, but my doctor mentioned it could be due to the levodopa. I'm considering adjusting the dosage, but I'm nervous about the potential side effects. Is anyone else experiencing this? How did you handle it?

Please talk to your doctor about those urges. It sounds like you might be experiencing impulsive behavior, which is a known side effect of dopamine agonists. Your doctor might suggest lowering the dose or switching to a different medication. Don’t wait, these issues can get worse.
