Anyone tried this?

[park_bear]

It exacerbated my dry mouth but some PWP find it helpful.

[Hikoi]

Yes I think you did Rosa about 2 years ago.

[Rosabellazita in reply to Hikoi]

Was it that long ago? .i thought i would try one last time ...try giving it more time to see if it makes a difference.

[Divii]

Yes

[Idofotos]

Works for me 2x a day. Dyskinesia is all but gone

[Rosabellazita in reply to Idofotos]

Does it help tremor

[Lynne1946]

Yes and it made me throw up.

[Rosabellazita]

U have to eat before

[S70AWD]

I've been taking it for 4-1/2 years (100 mg three times a day). No side effects except the skin on my legs is somewhat mottled. I'm just not sure how much it does, I know it has no effect on tremors for me.

[Rosabellazita in reply to S70AWD]

Mottled?? Oh no

[Rosabellazita in reply to S70AWD]

If it does not help ur tremor what does it help?

[Idofotos]

No help with tremors. But stops dyskinesia. I cut my CL from 2/3 x a day to 3/1 x a day

My husband was on it for five years and worked well until one day he started having hallucinations, constantly, didn't go away, he went to hospital and they took him off it and the Hallucinations went away in a few days.

[Rosabellazita]

Does it dis color your skin

[Shakinginnc]

I was on it and developed swollen feet and ankles and red molten legs along with hallucinations horribly OH and extreme dry mouth! After weening off , My side effects are all but gone. (Switched to Sinemet) Works for some but like any medication not for all as we all travel a different PD journey.

[ParlePark]

Yes. Tried for 2 months. Headaches and couldn’t drink 1 glass of wine without a headache all day. Weaned off for 2 weeks. Much better. Just started in mucuna.
