Does Mucuna Pruriens cause dyskinesias?

[SKCW]

Hi, I've heard it both ways that it doesn't and does. I thought this was its crowning benefit compared to Sinemet???

Many Thanks,

Sarah

My experience has been, it does spur some dyskinesia, but much less than Sinemet, and for shorter periods. Likewise nausea.

I briefly tried the 98% mucuna powder and experienced dyskinesia with less than 100mg.

It is natural Sinamet so if you take bot it can be tricky for causing dyskinesia (essentially too much med)

You might if you take too little or too much. Also if you dont balance the co factors properly. Its hard if you just experiment willy nilly. Work closely with someone who has experience and read and learn all that you can. I never get dyskinesia when i take mucuna. I did experience quite a bit when i went off it for a few days.
