Zandopa taper-easier than sinemet?

A recent post discussed tapering sinemet and it’s risks. Anyone have any insight on tapering Zandopa as the primary treatment? Is it lower risk of withdrawal/NMS with quick taper? Thanks

Here is a very good homepage from a doctor who has dealt intensively with Mucuna, the natural dopamine! The application is described in detail here!

I was in contact with him and he recommended Zandopa! I also ordered this. I've been in Thailand for 6 weeks and I'm taking a tablet "Organic Mucuna from the company Himalaya" from February 1st. However, I don't notice much, except that I've been sweating from my neck at night since then. The doctor - see website... but also said that this product hardly contains any dopamine! That's why I ordered Zandopa. This should be coming soon and I will try it.

Hi, PDTom! Yes, I’m familiar with that doctor. I’ve been on Zandopa 5grams 2 x a day(among other supplements) for a few years now. Just curious if one stops it for a while, how it should be tapered off. .

Hello, may I ask since when you have parkisnon and how old are you? And what other supplements do you take? The typical Parkinson's drugs?
