Risk Factors for Levodopa-induced Dyskinesia

[Farooqji]

Severe motor, functional, and gait impairment; cumulative levodopa exposure; anxiety, and sex are among the risk factors for developing levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, according to results from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).

Nice read but of no use. Taking c/l is a must for most PWP come what may.

[Despe in reply to Bailey_Texas]

Don't think so! Natural L-dopa has no side effects.

[Juliegrace in reply to Despe]

That is not the case. I have experienced dyskinesia with different forms of MP the same as I have with pharmaceutical c/l.

[Despe in reply to Juliegrace]

Sorry about that, Julie. Aren't you taking any kind of L-dopa now?

[Juliegrace in reply to Despe]

I take c/l 10/100 3-4x a day.

Does that mean that I am in danger of having more or less sex?

LOL, I read sex as......sex, not gender!
