Joint pain with levodopa (carbidopa-levodopa) increasing dose? Is it a side effect?
My husband is in the one-month trial of weekly increasing levodopa doses, and suddenly his knee hurts really badly. Could this be a side effect of the levodopa? He's only on the second week, the second increase of the dosage (25/100), four times a day, this week.

Hallucinations: "It's the Dopamine, Stupid!"
For some months, we have been unpleasantly aware of a certain TV ad claiming that a large percentage of PwP are prone to hallucinate. The disease is a big enough monkey on our backs, do we need an added social stigma like this? Well, if you thought those hallucinations are just a sign of brain disease

PD tremor started on my non-dominant side yesterday
Parkinson’s disease is relentless I knew that but I thought I’d have good use of my left hand for several more years . This sucks! At least I have no serious memory issues so far. BTW, I haven’t been a frequent poster on this blog for a long time because I’ve been so satisfied with the result of

Comtan (entacapone)
Has anyone tried this? For Parkinson patients it is prescribed to make the levodopa effects last longer. On those really bad days we all have it seems as if I am dosing myself every 4-6 hours. I only take 1/2 of a 25/50 pill at a time but it would be great if I would be able to stretch that out to

Stalevo vs mucuna pruriens
Yesterday I went to my doctor with a question: Can I replace stalevo with mucuna pruriens, on the grounds that the first is a chemical drug whereas the second is a natural plant extract. She said NO, because 1) You cannot control the amount of l-dopa contained in each mucuna capsule, so there is a chance

Grinding Carbidopa hallucinations
I decided to grind his pills including the time release
Carbidopa
50/
levodopa
200mg. I started doing this about three weeks ago. At approximately the same times he started to "see" things in our home along with not knowing where he is. Could this be the result of the grinding the pills.

Effect of Carbidopa/Levodopa on organs of the body
My husband takes 8-10
carbidopa
/
levodopa
pills (25/250mg) He takes one every other hour. He can tell when they are wearing off (he used to take every 11/2 hour) He doesn't have any side effects except a LITTLE diskinisa.

CBD oil and more frustration
I received Provocan CBD oil with great anticipation. I weaned Dan off of his morning daily dose of Carb/ levodopa. Although we never saw much change with this med, at this small dose the neck rigidity seemed its best . (But So hard to know for sure.) For two days his legs buckled in the morning. Was

Taking EGCG, pros and cons
My husband is taking 98% MP (Levodopa) three times daily. When he is on, things are great, but when he is on and also when off... he suffers from bad and painful bloating. He takes a quite large dose of Levodopa, so we think this is what is causing it... the registrar who sees us now also suggested this

Don't want to join this group! (Ranting about diagnosis)
We saw the neuro today, at the end of a four-week levodopa trial to see if my husband has regular Parkinson's vs CBD or other atypical parkinsonism, and I was really hopeful because I could improvements in his facial expression and for the last couple days his handwriting was better. But the neuro said

Madopar vs Sinemet (& mucuna)
Neuro just put my husband on Madopar (one of the side effects being nausea...for some reason he didn't prescribe Sinemet) We were hoping to supplement with mucuna once his body gets used to the drug. My understanding is that mucuna needs the carbidopa in Sinemet to be able to cross the BBB. Does

Could folk please post and say what diagnosis is involved with themselves or their loved one. Whether it is a clear diagnosis and to what degree pain is an issue. Also what treatment is being taken for it and finally what Parkinson's meds. are being taken if any. So a reply might be "PSP possibly CBD

Tired of not being hungry.
Does anyone have a trick for overcoming the total loss of appetite that I have as a side effect of the
levodopa
/
carbidopa
? I've lost 40 pounds but don't worry, I have a lot left to more than sustain me for quite some time. I just miss eating.
