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.

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
.

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?

Madopar
Hi, I’ve recently started taking
Madopar
. I can’t detect any changes yet, apart from the fact that it seems to make me extremely tired. I just wondered if anyone else has found it effective?

Neupro side effects
Neurologist suggested adding two mg Neupro patches to regime of Zadago plus
Madopar
1.5 three times a day. Diagnosed 7 years ago, first twitch 13 years ago. Only lasted one day as I had nausea, vomiting, headache, cold sweats and sleepiness. Is this normal?

First Post.
My wife was diagnosed with Parkinson's in September 2023 but on seeing a neurologist last week he says she might have msa.She's been on
madopar
since September but it appears to have made very little difference so he's upped the dosage to see if it helps.

Parkinson's wife
I have a feeling that the problem with
Madopar
and Sinemet is the decarboxylase inhibitor which blocks vit B6. This vitamin is vital to so may other functions in the body. Anyone else found the same ? Any advice appreciated.

madopar vs sinemet
I’m planning to switch from sinemet 125 mg (levodopa carbidopa combination) immediate release to
madopar
Controlled release 125 mg (levodopa benserazide). Based on your experience, do you think it’s safe n is a good idea?

night time pain
My neurologist has prescribed me slow-release
madopar
overnight. This is proving completely ineffective. The only reliable way I can get a decent Sleep is to take codeine ibuprofen painkillers. I do this only a couple of times a week because I don’t want to develop a dependency on them.

The entacapone helps the mucuna be utilised better. 11am. 1.
madopar
50/12.5 + NOW dopa mucuna + 1/2 entacapone 2am. 1
madopar
50/12.5 + NOW dopa mucuna + 1/2 entacapone 5am. 1
madopar
50/12.5 8pm 1/2
madopar
50/12.5 this spreads the levodopa over the beginning of the day then reduces

Dystonia: WTF?!
Solution:
Madopar
Dispersible 50. This dystonia now, if I’m really low on dopamine, attacks my stomach, feet, back muscles, neck - and as I witnessed during my ‘no drugs allowed’ period - my jaw.

DBS update
I might thrive on a particular dose of
Madopar
and then the next day would be stuck whilst on a walk after having taken the same. It was very hard to plan anything. The month following the actual operation was a drag.

Whole-body shaking
I was given
Madopar
and a huge dose of Rotigotine which made things infinitely worse. The Rotigotine made my muscles extremely tense which caused the whole-body shaking. I'm trying to understand if the shaking I experience is a PD symptom or not.
