Grapefruit juice is more than a CYP3A4 inhibitor
Just found this timely article all about Grapefruit for Parkinson's, except effects on levodopa, 'cos it hasn't been tested. Conclusion : it's good for your brain, but could be dangerous, so if in doubt, don't drink it. https://www.salubrainous.com/grapefruit-for-parkinsons/

What is the difference between Carbidopa and Benserazide?
I get major dystonia from
Levodopa
Carbidopa
. I am thinking of asking my neurologist to switch to Benserazide. Does Levodopa Benserazide cause dyskinesia and dystonia? Thank you all

Doctors use levodopa responsiveness to diagnose, but a new report today says a specific gut bacteria prevents it from getting to the brain
I often feel I am sometimes unresponsive to levodopa. I wonder if these bacteria come and go. In addition to the most important matter of controlling symptoms, another place this matters is that we could be excluded from clinical trials for being unresponsive to levodopa when it is not because we do

B-1 Dosage Change
I am anxious to move on but I also realize I should be cautious.i am also on 25-100
carbidopa
levodopa
2 tabs at 8an m, 2 tabs at 2pm and 2 tabs at 8pm. As well as 1 tab of .5 mg Pramipexole at each of those times. I will ask my neurologist to take me off of Pramipexole due to the inherent risks.

Comparison of selegiline and levodopa combination therapy versus levodopa monotherapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analys
S + L combination therapy is superior to L monotherapy for the improvement of clinical symptoms in PD patients. Moreover, the safety profile of S + L combination therapy is comparable with that of L monotherapy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31175606

Mucuna pruriens
Is anyone using this herb in place of Dr. prescribed PD medication, is there any side effects, and does it act differently without Carbidopa?

Cincinnati Clinical trials?
I'm currently taking
carbidopa
-
levodopa
for cervical dystonia. That appears to be effective. I can now see more drivers on the road. So that's good news! UC wouldn't take me in a trial because I had to see THEIR Movement Specialist.

Update
I quickly augmented on
carbidopa
/
levodopa
but had some success using tramadol and inhaling 😀 but only if I was able to take tramadol and smoke right at the onset. Ten minutes into the episode and it was too late for those medications to have an effect.

Which would you rather have? Violent dyskinesia or go back to less L-dopa? Are there other options? Can we thread the needle and avoid both?
Taken from "Once Upon a Pill":
Ater this patient reduced his medication slowly and carefully over more than a year, the violent ticcing stopped and his original tremor – a small, fluttering, weak movement – reappeared, amazing him and his family. For the first time, the family members were willing
