Hi does anyone take Madopa meds for PD? PLEASE let me know pro's and cons you have experienced

Go to the "search" box at the upper right hand corner of the page and enter the word "madopar". I am quite sure you will find many threads addressing you question ... some going back several years..

Taking Madopar 1x125mg at 7am and 1x62,5mg at 3pm. Tremors stopped. No cons, quite happy with it

Thank you.... Do you know how it works? Does it create more dopamine or does it replace or reactivate dopamine receptors?

I have been on Madopar (actually Prolopa, the Canadian version). Following advice from the MoventvDisorder Clinic iI started on a low dose and slowly increased it until I had an improvement in symptoms. I have now been on 100/25 capsules, three, four times a day for almost a year, with NO side effects. I do not take any supplements.

I advice you to take advice from your medical professional, not from medical amateurs on a website,

For the last 10 months I take 200/50mg Madopar per day with no side effects. The dose is a bit low for effect by itself.

I take Now Mucuna alongside which is a perfect combo for me (following Dr Maldonado's advice).

Thank you this helps

Is Dr. Maldonado the author of "Mucuna versus Parkinson"? If so, did you have a personal consultation? Thank you!
