explains the value of carbidopa. imho, if you don't want to take any sinemet then try to take carbidopa. i read articles stating you need at least 100mg carbidopa to suppress nausea from the levodopa
Levodopa is almost always given in combination with another medication called Carbidopa. Carbidopa is also a levodopa enhancer. When added, carbidopa enables a much lower dose of levodopa (80% less!) and helps reduce the side effects of nausea and vomiting.
