Tremor

[akgirlsrock]

My tremors are so fast and sometimes runs through my whole body when my 3 half hour cardopa/levadopa dose is due, is it my body addictive to the drug. I have had tremors slow down when I've experimented on my self, to see how long I could go without cardopa/levadopa, until my good leg just goes out which is my carpal tunnel side. My left leg is where symptoms started with tremor,drag, walking on toes, and left foot turns inward only from cardopa/levadopa and Dyskinesia.

It is possible that your intense tremors are a result of the wearing off of the meds. My experience is that I have excessive movement (dyskinesia) when my meds are wearing off. I stop taking meds in the late afternoon/early evening so I go through this daily. However, I am not tremor-dominant so my movement cannot be described as tremors.

Yes, my Dyskinesia in my left foot does that as well and also when my pills are about to work.

Don't think I would call it "Addicted" to c/l. You would probably have tremors on no medication, I think you do. I find there is a different quality to my tremors when on carb/lev.

Addictive probably isn't the right word. Maybe withdrawals from cardopa/levadopa until next dose. I took 1 ER 50/200 at 11PM and woke up at 5:42 with slight tremors. I took half of barlows white l-dopa and fell back to sleep for 3 hours. I noticed my tremor was much less, but with just cardopa/levadopa it is a very fast tremor. Plus the macuna works quickly, I figure I still have the ER in my system and the cardopa would still help the macuna L-dopa to pass blood brain barrier. That's just a guess, since macuna needs help getting passed blood brain barrier. I'm still experimenting with Macuna, Thank you, Maria
