For my hubby, too much of any form of dopamine can trigger hallucinations, including macuna.

It is maybe dosage -related, if they are worse now with the macuna.

My husband has been taking 100% organic Mucuna Powder for 12 or so years and has never had a problem.

It sounds like the Macuna they are using is stronger than the meds it was replacing. I saw a study which showed that companies are not always accurate in the dosing they put on the bottle, presumably because batches vary in strength.

Is it just bean powder 100% natural or is it an extract that is standardised?

What brand ?
