I am doing a little research project on the most used supplements, vitamins and medications that may be useful for PD.

At the moment for vitamins/supplements I have

Vitamin B1

Mannitol

Vitamin D(+ K)

Curcumin

CoQ10

N-acetylcysteine

Lithium Orotate

Celery Seed Extract

PQQ

For standard medications I have

Terazosin Repurposed Prostate Medicine

Sinemet CR

Sinemet IR

Requip Dopmanie Agonist

Mirapex Dopmanie Agonist

Symmetrel Dopmanie Agonist

Artan Anticholinergic

Cogentin Anticholinergic

Selegiline Also known as Eldepryl/Deprenyl MAO inhibitor

Could you guys help me fill me in on the ones I am missing, with details of the dosage per day

Also with a little narrative about the benefits and potential side-effects.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Agoodlife, I found the article you sent to be very interesting. I personally feel calcium supplement does make a difference to my motor functions, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I am a female at 52. I tried to combine calcium with vitamin D, magnesium and phosphorus, so far haven’t found a perfect combination yet. Are you taking calcium supplements?

BTW, my blood test shows my calcium at the high end of the normal range, which is consistent with the article’s theory of, calcium might be transferred from the bones to blood/cell. I also have hip bursitis, not sure if this is all relevant. .......

Benadryl for tremor, Roy? Perked my interest. I have a friend who has essential tremors and internal (there is a medical name but I don't know the term) tremors. She gets Botox 2x yearly, all that is allowed. I suggested CBD oil which she's going to try.

B1 took me about three months taking it to start to see consistent benefits. Some benefits were immediate but others came a lot later. Must be patient and consistent

Hello Erniediaz1018 ~ At what point did you start the Mucuna ~ before, after, or during finding the right dose of B1?Thank you for your help!

Erniediaz1018 in reply toLizzy9

Hello, I started mucuna before B1 and kept using throughout. I currently use both at the same time at times.

IMHO, you are taking too many meds! Our MDS at Vanderbilt told my husband that LESS IS MORE!

Two different ANTICHOLINERGICS??? I am not a doctor, but read on anticholinergics and their effect on PD. . .

bacillus subtilis. (because I take probiotics anyway) 1/day

licorice (because I love it anyway on an occasional basis)

My neuro prefers I stick with 1 mg Rasagiline MAO-B (missing from your list) and 1.5 mg pramipexole(Mirapex) . It is a Dopamine Agonist..you have Dopmanie misspelling.

Best wishes with your list and stay healthy! Paul

I’ve just ordered PXN21 recently and been on it for 2 days, can’t tell the result yet. How long have you been on this, and do you see any difference?
