    From Maurice White to Mohamed Ali. This is a great collection of inspiring characters. I never would have imagined that so many of the people that inspired me throughout my life would contract the same ailment. Astounding. More proof of how PD doesn't discriminate. We are all equally in danger if we do not do something fast to clean up this planet. I have to give it up for the man and his band who taught me to wish upon a star at an early age. Some songs just get better with age. Yes...and having anything in common with someone who performed a favorite song. Is kinda cool. Even if it is PD.

    Actually the coating and fillers play a small role in the dosing. The FDA allows a 20% difference from the standard dose. That can be 20% lower or 20% higher . So a total of 40% difference is allowed between different batches of the drug.. within its own generic company or its competitors or the brand name. So yes, pay close attention. The patient is the one who may easily notice a difference, not the doctor , or pharmacist or the pharmacy that is more concerned with profit than for your well being.

    • @invoxicated

      I found the same info. The FDA allows a 20% deviation in active ingredients. I get my Levodopa from the VA as I am an a 100% disabled Agent Orange victim of the Vietnam war. I have no control over where they get their meds from and often wonder how good they are because I've never been able to try any other brands. I currently take 15 25/100 tabs a day. This is such a terrible disruptive disease. I wonder how Sinemet brand is?

    Larry - thanks for this information. I’ve been taking the same generic form of carbi/levodopa for 5 years. Due to travel I had to fill my prescription at an unknown to me (but still CVS pharmacy). The pills were a slightly different shape and not scored. I was a little surprised they hadn’t informed me of the switch but I thought (besides the inconvenience of the nonscored pills) that they would be the same. I’ve been having trouble with my “off times” occurring more frequently and their onset is quite abrupt. I go from feeling ok to being in a severe off time zone immediately. I thought it was me. Now I am going to look into this more. Again thank you

    The doctor is correct. In a tall family in 1930 in Delano CA 93215 used DDT in food and spray over head 500 gallons in a aircraft over 4,000 sq foot , four times bigger than a three bedroom house 1500 SQ ft and all over the United States and Europe or London dropped DDT. And another chemical with DDT methyl bromide in pesticide and restaurants in Boston MA or New York City the tall work or own. Mexican food huevos ranchero and spices were dried DDT. My uncles are FBI agents in 1939 and 1933 and died in 1948 or 1946 or about. I was informed that ebola was military made San Diego CA Marines scientist for bio warefare and HIV Aids for bio warefare and pneumonia for FBI agents in all United States and here they died by murder in 1948. No other FBI agent Kennedy worked as honorable in CIA agency or FBI agency or in the White House and here military New York City has 241 vials of different cancers with medicine and 200 vials of cancer but no medicine and here ebola virus is still obtained for anniversary date to genocide dark tanned in south Africa by tall 9ft tall Chuy Hernandez a Saudi Arabic impersonating a Caucasian or Latin and in 1902 in Delano CA 93215 two hundred persons died of brain tumors and cancer in 1902 all dead. In 1948 all Delano CA residents died or killed by a ebola pandemic or Aids pandemic or pneumonia in 11 months in 1948 or 1949. I was in quarantine 14 days when ebola broke out in Africa and in Ohio two FBI agents died of ebola similar and two FBI agents died in Idaho of ebola similar and AIDS after 11 months was viral microorganism and CDC was notified and six fbi agents on the ebola and AIDS viral were murdered and we have the medicine for HIV Aids since 1938 and 1939 healthy with HIV Aids and medicine only at San Diego CA military base marines who won't release it to the United States, a terrorists act. So most disease is a microorganism made by New York City military base in United States by men 9' and Bob Mueller in the White House his nephews are Chuy Hernandez and Chuy Cortez Gonzalez in military base New York area who use ebola virus every anniversary of first outbreak and use COVID-19 spray and liquid all United States and countries for genocide of Caucasian and all. Bob Mueller FBI agent and Wray at the White House President of the United States office and are military since civil war and WW 1.

    💫Thank you for sharing your experience. Something that changed my life overnight and I tell everyone: 😊 I personally switched from generic cd/ld to the brand name, Rytary, last March and I have to say my side effects from severe fatigue, dizziness upon standing, dry mouth, tearfulness, and terrible dyskinesia (for me included terrible racing thoughts and anxiety!) subsided. My life improved 100%. That's just my story. 😊 Also, I must add: I also realized with the generic, I felt as if it was only getting to 70% of my body. Meaning after trying the Rytary, I could feel my shoulders and feet and hands. Sounds strange but again Parkinson's is so weird, is it not!? Thanks for all PD avengers does Larry!! ❤
