Rytary in Canada?
I went to see my neurologist today to discuss the possibility of switching from sinemet to Rytary, as well as from Amentadine to Gocovri. Sadly I’ve been told that neither Rytary nor Gocovri are available in Canada, since they have not been approved by Health Canada. I was really shocked when I heard

Lactobacillus and Levodopa
Has anyone seen the uTube video re the Gastro Intestinal doctor who advised against taking probiotics because of the adverse action of lactobacillus on Levodopa? I saw it recently and can't find it now - I am interested in reading further about the lactobacillus impact on Levodopa. I would appreciate

The Effect of Curcumin on Idiopathic Parkinson Disease: A Clinical and Skin Biopsy Study
Abstract There are currently no standardized therapies for Parkinson disease (PD). Curcumin shows anti-amyloidogenic properties in vitro and may be a promising treatment for PD. We evaluated the effects of curcumin supplementation on clinical scales and misfolded, phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-syn) accumulation

Carbodopa levodopa frequency and dosage
My fathers neurologist said he can only take 2 levodopa/carbodopa pills at a time but increase the frequency as needed. My father does not have an issue with the frequency, its just that 2 pills at a time are not enough. Is this doctors recommendation correct? It seems he will do so much better with

How I went from 13 to 4 a day (Carbidopa 25/Levodopa 100)?
How I went from 13 to 4 a day (
Carbidopa
25/
Levodopa

Who wakes up “on”?
Can you please indicate if when you wake up you need a dose of levodopa to be able to move, and who feels best first thing before a dose? I just found this picture. Ignore the schitzophrenia references, I just found it interesting how dopamine levels fluctuate during the day naturally in a normal person

Tapering down Levodopa any advice ?
Hi I’m new here and London, UK based. I’m trying to wean off Sinemet (total dose per day 75/300) slowly and completely after taking it for 4 months (since diagnosis). I’ve had more intense non- motor symptoms (e.g. depression exhaustion) trying to come off than before I started the meds. I’m wondering
