Mind isn't as clear, shacking very fast, body very slow,right hand is slow in movement my good side, and feel slight depression during off time when next dose due. I felt better on just 100% l-dopa white powder from macuna, except the 2 hours on and foot Dyskinesia was to unpredictable , and shaking was bearable.

Have you looked at the Hinz protocol? The theory is that vit B6 is depleted by carbidopa. Also 5-htp, serotonin precursor for mood.

It's going to take time to get the right dose of Carbidopa levodopa. I changed neurologist at one point and went back on carbidopa-levodopa for a few days and had similar issues. I decide to go back on mucuna. Why did you go off mucuna?
