I was diagnosed on May 8. Started with 1 Carbidopa and Levodopa tablet for 3 days. I’m now up to 3 tablets 3 x a day with no real side effects. Just wondering if I need to call my doc and up the dose? No major improvement with mobility yet.

@janet42,

It is always to keep in touch with your doctor when you are beginning a new medication. If my understanding is correct, you are now taking 9 tablets a day. Is this correct?

You say that there has been no improvement with mobility. Could you describe what type of mobility problems you are still experiencing?

If this were my situation, I would call my doctor's office and explain the continuing mobility issues. Will you post again with any updates?
