Carbidopa/Levodopa??
I have always taken
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
for my RLS. I have always been told it is usually given to Parkinson’s patients but I don’t have Parkinson’s. Anyone else take it?

Rasagiline?
I had an appointment with a neurologist who wants me to continue taking
Carbidopa
-
levodopa
, but also take Rasagiline. The side effects and food interactions list seem onerous and dangerous to me. And, it is rather expensive. I canceled the prescription until I understand this drug better.

Amantadine questions
I'm on
carbidopa
/
levodopa
, entacapone and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses

Variation in dose: doctor to doctor
At its simplest in a regimen formed entirely of
carbidopa
/
levodopa
we see daily doses of between 50 and 2000mg, perhaps more.

When will we reconcile with the fact that there is no cure now? Possibly never?
Because we are dependent on
Carbidopa
levodopa
which is actually a lot of like an addiction. Any cure depends on the ability to wean off
carbidopa
levodopa
, which is pretty much impossible without solid cooperation from the medical community.

Tremors are still there
I started 4 weeks ago with 25/100
Carbidopa
-
Levodopa
, 3 pills a day. I am taking them every 8 hours without side effects. I am disappointed that my right hand tremors (main motor problem) are still constantly there. They have never disappeared .

Mucuna Pruriens
I would like to substitute mucuna pruriens for the
Carbidopa
levodopa
. I have 500 mg capsules standardized to 20% L-dopa (not exactly sure what that means). How much levodopa is that? My C/L Rx is 10-100 mg, 4 times daily. How many 500mg mucuna capsules do I take as an equivalent?

Interesting(and extremely painful)side effect from Parkinson's to be aware of.
How this ties in with my Parkinson's is I realized that when I was having an off time with my
carbidopa
/
levodopa
therapy my body would tense-up triggering a spasm in my QL muscle. After doing PT, ice/heat, lidocain shot and finally dry needling, I think it finally calmed down, YAY!

Is Rytary really working better than Carbidopa/Levodopa?
I started on
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
25/100, 3x a day and then went up to 4x a day. Primary troubling symptom is peripheral neuropathy and toe curling which causes balance issues and painful walking.

Guidance for RLS
I did take
Carbidopa
-
Levodopa
for several months, which eased my RLS significantly, but now it's back in full force and the Carbidopa-Lev. doesn't work anymore. I've written more about my RLS journey in my bio profile if you want to read it. I'm looking for any advice anyone can give me.

Drooping in left side of face
She tried
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
but it didn’t help at all. We changed her diet, went gluten free, sugar free and there’s been improvement in her sleep.
