My personal withdrawal from the inhibitor EGCG To add the inhibitor quercetin
I have four years used a GCG to complement my intake of natural sourced levodopa. I finally got tired of the slight nausea that occurs and decided to try a different type of inhibitor, quercetin. I have found a change beneficial. It is going very smoothly and I am sleeping better surprisingly I can sleep

Levodopa and Eye Pressure
I had developed an eye floater on my parkie side (right) and I went to the optometrist on March 10th. The optometrist did not dilate my eye to look at it. She said I had "narrow angle" on my right eye and I had occular pressure and it was unsafe. The optometrist office was to book me an opthalmologist

How much sinemet
I'm very worried. At the end of January they changed me from Stalene 125 ( 4 a day) to Sinemet 250 ( 3 a day, whole, half, whole other half) and Opicapona. With the Stalene I was losing strength and endurance, and I started to lose my balance, of which I also blame the Ryvotril and Trazadona. And the

Is it safe to increase dose of Co-Careldopa?
I have been on 25mg/100mg Co-Careldopa, three times a day at 8am, 2pm and 7pm since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's last June. The medication was effective in restoring my walking (dragging left foot), reducing tremor in my left wrist and hand, and restoring my energy levels. However, for the past week

Suggestions on this mucuna dosage calculation
The neurologist suggested I start with 1/2 tablet of 25/100 MG
carbidopa
levodopa
. I prefer to try mucuna first. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0191ITEN0 It comes with a scoop. The description says one scoop is 3000 mg.

Mucuna sinemet equivalent?
We have successfully been reducing my dad's sinemet intake and replacing it with mucuna. We started off with the raw powder but for convenience sake, have switched to the now brand 15% capsules. I am just trying to figure out equivalent doses. Can anyone clarify? Based on my understanding, 1 tablet
