Does L-Tyrosine also cause augmentation
I have recently come off an OTC L-Dopa supplement because it was causing augmentation. I'm trying to get my dopamine levels to restore naturally and am wondering whether I should take L-Tyrosine (which is the amino acid building block for L-Dopa, found in eggs, cheese, meat, etc). I would be doing so

Symtoms getting worse?
Hi I was diagnosed in November 2018 with Parkinson's aged 54 it was quite a shock to say the least I had struggled with walking for 2 year prior to this and had been attending a podiatrist for a collapsed foot arch which is what I had been diagnosed with. It took two years for Parkinson's diagnosis I

T or F--lower dose of C/L means you can take it longer?
True or False? In the past I remember reading these 2 things: 1) The later you can delay treatment with C/L drugs, the longer you can take them as you age, and 2) Keep the dose as low as possible for as long as possible, this will stretch out the amount of time before you plateau on the meds. This doesn't

Protein ?
Even though I wait 30 min. or 1 hour to eat protein after my pills, my cardopa/levadopa seems to wear off sooner. Also for the past 4 months I've been smelling levodopa, right in my nostrils, does anyone experience the smell. It happens, when the levodopa starts to work also I take levodopa from

How long do L-dopa withdrawal symptoms last?
I took an over the counter L-dopa supplement (Macuna puriens) for a few months for my restless legs and then experienced augmentation and rebound. I stopped cold turkey a week ago and am experiencing withdrawal effects in the form of nervous system pain. Wondering how long it takes for the withdrawal

Any guidance on how to switch from IR C/L to CR C/L during the day?
I would like to try switching my mom over from her immediate release (IR) carbidopa levadopa (C/L) to controlled release (CR) C/L during the day. She already takes CR CL at night and I notice that it seems to work much smoother for her. She still needs one or two IR C/L throughout the night until she

Messed up oral biome
Anyone else have experience with a noticeable change in their mouth biome, or saliva chemistry? is anyone else having trouble with motility in the gut as well? For example, I have trouble with slow transit/motility and I feel like my whole colon is dried out. Strangely similar is my oral biome - as

summary of a visit to my neurologist
Do you think we should increase the
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
? No because you will run into trouble down the line. The Requip should help though. Any thoughts on any of the following supplements?

Do other dopamine boosters also cause augmentation?
I’m experiencing really bad RLS augmentation from supplementing with L-Dopa for three months, but wondering if I switch to other dopamine boosters such as Chlonine, Uridine, L-theanine, will the effect be the same? For context, this is what they specifically do: https://www.mindlabpro.com/blogs/nootropics

Rytary and Bydureon updates
It is a slow acting form of
Carbidopa
and
Levodopa
that is a controlled release capsule. I said “slow acting” because it takes a while to work it’s way through the system in the morning. However, once it does, the results are amazing.
