Default wearing off in the afternoons, anyone experiencing this? advice?

i take regular cabidopa/levodopa and the CR version, about 150mg every 3hrs and stop taking meds around 6pm.
lately seem to be doing pretty well in the morning but wearing off in the afternoon. cognitive function affected the most, tough to put my thoughts together, motor skills not affected as much, increasing my dosage doesn't seem to help, just have to suffer thru it and repeat the cycle with sleep fixing the problem. food might be a factor but have fasted and still get the same result. i'm reluctant to add more drugs, agonists make me too sleepy but they did help my motor problems.

just strange how it works so well up until about noon and then peters out.
