I just double-checked the dose I'm taking of Levadopa/Carbidopa and it's 25-100. The nurse said that this is a good dose and some of the other residents are on that dose.

My question is how long I should wait before consulting my neurologist that it's not working? A week? Two weeks? A few days?

Again, I took my first dose on Friday morning and am getting it three times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) so I've only been taking it for three days. Maybe I should ask to be given the medication around the clock or, if nothing else, a dose at bedtime.

Thoughts?

Nigel - where do you live? Just checking!
