NO- There is a chance that the bioequivalence of different generics in rare cases are different . I have not heard that regarding Carbidopa-levodopa. If you remain on the same generic then even that chance is just about eliminated. I am confident enough of that that I personally take generics. If your neurologist feels otherwise ask him why and if he feels strongly about it then go by his recommendation.
