Stress and anxiety in Parkinson's - my 2 pennies worth
In response to a spam post about stress causing Parkinson's I started this answer which became too long winded as a response. I don't think stress causes Parkinson's as claimed (in fact I think it's a nonsense idea) but definitely stress causes problems in Parkinson's. Alongside the fact that stress

Transitioning from aNOW product for my levodopa to a purer levodopa and I sense a loss of some benefit in the absence of the NOW caps
I have seen Posts that claim there is benefit from taking naturally sourced levodobo that Contains ingredients beyond the desired levodopa. I believe it now. Anyone combine 98% pure with a more raw product with good results?

Matcha green tea
Hi everyone! For those of you mixing green tea with your mucuna I attached a link for Japanese organically-grown matcha green tea. With matcha you drink the entire ground up leaf it has more egcg in it then the steeping kind. Nutrivitashop sells the l-dopa as well as the green tea. I guess my point is

Gou Teng helps with my tremors .
Parkinson’s progression can be slowed and symptoms managed with the drugs L-Dopa (
Levodopa
) and Sinemet (
Carbidopa
). L-Dopa is converted to dopamine in the brain, and Sinemet prevents L-Dopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain.

Just surviving
Hi everyone, I am writing this to try to get some order to the disorder that my brain has become. I'm feeling so sad, angry frustrated unloved, alone, 'oh what's the point', which bit can I hurt next. etc etc. I'm so cross that after 15 years of RL I'm now at the stage where no one knows what to do next

B-6, Methyl Folate and B-12
Vitamin B-6 has to be taken a few hours after
Levodopa
, RIGHT? Even though he is on
Levodopa
/
Carbidopa
, I still hold to that "rule". Methyl Folate, B-9, is it safe or no? Vitamin B-12, I have heard a negative about it.

Anyone tried Levodopa inhalation powder (Inbrija, Acorda Therapeutics)?
Levodopa inhalation powder (Inbrija, Acorda Therapeutics) Has anyone taken this? My mom just received a prescription from her neurologist and she is waiting on her delivery to try it out.

L Dopa, the drug which makes Parkinson's worse?
What do you think? From my negative experience of Sinemet, I surmise that it brings some initial improvement in movement issues along with some devastating side effects. It wears off, so more is taken, and after a while dyskinesias can occur solely because of the drug. Also 'on - off' can occur due to

Mucuna my natural protocol
I was on
Carbidopa
levodopa
25 100 for about 6 months and I weaned off completely in about a week. I just did it on my own because I was anxious to get started with the natural supplement. I started out with one eighth of a teaspoon that I mixed in water.

Practice Parameter: Neuroprotective strategies and alternative therapies for Parkinson disease (an evidence-based review)
Results and conclusions: 1. Levodopa does not appear to accelerate disease progression. 2. No treatment has been shown to be neuroprotective. 3. There is no evidence that vitamin or food additives can improve motor function in PD. 4. Exercise may be helpful in improving motor function. 5. Speech therapy

He is on
Levodopa

with endicopone, but that's it. He has tried modafinil, concerta and caffeine pills all under neuro supervision, none do much, just make his tremor worse. He is trying to work part time, but I'm not sure this is do-able.

Levodopa Induced Dystonia
Anyone ever experienced Levodopa induced dystonia? (NOT dyskinesia) If you experienced it first hand, how did you get relief from this specific kind of dystonia? I am on cl 25/100. Dystonia appeared on affected side a couple of days after starting cl in Feb. It is different from my "regular" PD

Relief from Artane but none with Sinemet
I’m curious if anyone else has had symptom relief while taking Artane after levodopa provided no relief? My neurologist had me on Sinemet, eventually up to 3 tablets 4x a day. During this time I didn’t experience any symptom relief. He recently had me try Artane, and after taking 1/2 tablet 2x a day
