I 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 b...

blanco L7 ## After this long of a time period, I am unable to find a listing for a tablet with this marking, which may also be affect by the fact that it gives the impression of being a foreign tablet. What I do know, however, is that this is frequently misunderstood name for the medication Carvedilol, which is an alpha/beta block that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. By it's very mechanism of action, it may cause Raynaud's Phenomenon in some people, so it should only be used under proper medical supervision. Are there any questions I can help with? You can learn more Carvedilol details here.
