After 2 years on Carbadopa/levodopa how much do most people take ?daily/

Curious as to how much daily carbodopa levodopa people take at the early stages. I am hesitant to increase, but the rigidity is painful and wears off in 31/2 hours. My Dr. said to keep increasing until I feel better. I'm already taking 1 1/2 pills 3 times daily. Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks😉
