Carb Levo Er
UpdatedI started taking the extended release carb/levo at night a couple days ago. I am wondering how long until it takes effect. I have dystonia and I want the symptoms to stop. I used to take immediate release, but it made me nauseous. I am also wondering if I start taking it in the morning would my symptoms reduce at a quicker rate? Will it make me nauseous?

Hi Lettie,
It is important to note that all medications (especially these prescription ones) can effect each individual differently, so I or anyone else would be unable to answer that specific question, regarding whether or not it will reduce your symptoms at a quicker rate or if it will make you feel nauseous. Unfortunately the only way to know is to actually try it.
I did locate some dosage and administration information that may be helpful if your not sure about when and how to take this medication to reap the most of it's benefits:
"The extended-release tablet is usually taken two to four times a day. Take levodopa and carbidopa at around the same times every day."
More details can be read in the link below:

I would also consider going to see a naturopathic doctor for additional help with the symptoms if this medication doesn't work as intended for you.
I hope this helps!
