Azilect & mucuna pruriens

[Ace1]

I've read here that you are not supposed to take Azilect with MP, but have never seen a reason why. Can someone explain why or point to a reference that indicates this?

Thanks

Wild guess but Azilect is an MAO-B inhibitor and Mucuna Pruriens is a form of natural dopamine. MAO-B inhibitors protect and make available the dopamine you already have.

Dear Ace 1,

I take Mucuna prutiens seperately, I do not take anything 1 hour prior or after taking MP, I get good result, you may try.

I know yours is an old post but did you ever solve the problem of whether Azilect and mucuna can be taken together? I haven't found anything which says you can't and am thinking of swapping my 200mgs of madopar to mucuna. Any advice?

As far as I can tell they can be used together, just go slow so you don't get too much levadopa . (My opinion)
