Extreme muscle stiffness
This happens every time I take
madopar
Immediate Release, which is seven times a day. I also experience chest tightness which really scares me. I was wondering if there are other people who live with PD and have experienced similar challenges.

Amantadine induced muscle spasm/dytonia
it won't go away with increased
madopar
dose. I am not sure my muscle spasm/ dystonia is caused by levodopa itself or amandatine. anyone has experience?

On Madopar for Parkinson's and it helps my RLS
On
Madopar
for Parkinson's and it helps my RLS. Currently just on a low dose, but without it the RLS would be unbearable. I read about augmentation but what do I do as I have Parkinson's?

low, medium or high dosage of madopar?
I currently take 8 capsules of 50mg/12.5mg
madopar
. I have previously been told by my old Parkinson’s nurse that this was a low dose leaving room to increase it when required but have now been told that this is a high dose by a different Parkinson’s nurse. And they don’t want to increase it.

Mom's taking these now.
She says the only thing that helps is
madopar
and she takes that at night. But sometimes she takes one earlier and one later at night. It knocks her out just enough to sleep 2 to 4 hours. She says she has been bad for days.

Antibiotics and Madopar
Do antibiotics disable the effectiveness of
madopar
? Since i started antibiotics a couple of days ago, I've been shakier, stiffer in neck and more anxious.

Clonazepam and anxiety.
My PWP suffers at times with severe anxiety and fear that seems to interfere with the efficacy of her
madopar
doses (175mg 5 times a day). She's off more than on at present.

Peak doses of levodopa - how extreme are your symptoms?
I also develop dystonia which disappears when the
Madopar
wears off. Things only start to improve after 60 min, but usually after approximately 90 minutes (half life of the
Madopar
). Would be grateful for any comments or suggestions you might have.

L-Dopa side effects - psychosis
My mother has huge side effects from
Madopar
(LevoDopa), since almost a year she becomes psychotic when she takes it. In combination with the dyskinesia which she already has increasingly since a few years, this is a really horrible combination.

Madopar and HDT times
Can I take HDT (500mg) at exactly the same time with my regular
Madopar
dose (100mg/25mg), without fear of interference which may result in the loss of effectiveness of both or either of them? Also is it relevant if HDT is taken on an empty stomach?

Opicapone
When it was prescribed to me I was not made aware that I would have to reduce the total dose of
Madopar
I was taking. Being so potent and long-lasting led to the overdosing events.

Levodopa only?
I was wondering if there are members of this forum who have been on large doses Levodopa -
Madopar
or Sinemet only - up to 1100 mg per 24h, for 5+ years.I would be grateful if you could comment on your present quality of life, and do you think that things could improve if other medications are added

Concentration of levodopa in plasma vs time curves for Madopar 100/25 IR, Madopar 100/25 CR, and Madopar 50/12.5 dispersible
Hello, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find the above graphs. In case someone has them, I would be really grateful if they could share the data. A link to a peer-reviewed paper would be best. Thank you in advance. D.

Parkinson’s, madopar and heart failure
Just wondered if anyone had similar experiences with
Madopar
especially with low BP. I'm also on Ropinerole 4mg and Rasagiline 1mg. Also I was put on Atorvastatin 20mg two weeks before
Madopar
and wondered if this pain is caused by them and not
Madopar
.
