Posting bitmaps
Hi, does anyone know how to post and add bitmap images (some Levodopa charts I'd like some feedback on)? I get the following messages each time (for .png and .jpg extensions) "There was a problem uploading your image. Make sure your image ends with .jpg, .jpeg or .png." It is displaying the images

B6 - advice
I’m confused about B6. is the advice with Co-Careldopa not to take, at all. Or to take after Co-Careldopa has been absorbed. my recent blood tests showed me deficient in B6. thanks

Dosage of L-Dopa...
Does anyone take more than 200mg as an individual dose? If so how long between doses?

Novartis Stalevo info (technical)
I know someone posted some technical info around L-dopa absorption rates somewhere...can I find it now? Can I heck as like...it might not even have been on this forum now I think about it.... Anyways...I've found some of my own on Stalevo. Be warned it's 26 pages of fairly dense statistics, chemistry

Slow or normal L-DOPA?
I just wanted a very quick straw poll...which sort of L-Dopa works better for you; slow release, normal release, or a mix of both? I used to do best on all slow, but these days a 50:50 mix seems best.

A friend's successful use of high dose thiamine
Four years ago I first posted here, when I was helping out a friend who had recently been diagnosed. She'd had problems for a long time before that, with loss of smell at least 8 years ago. In the past four years, with HDT, she has improved, and the Parkinson's has never progressed. Some people don't

For Those Forum Members Taking B1 To Good Effect And Wondering What Other Health Benefit They May Be Getting From Their Use Of B1
Long before Dr. Costantini was using vitamin B1 in his patients with PD, vitamin B1 was already being used as a supplement to help maintain better health. Many on this forum who are using vitamin B1 to good effect, in terms of their PD symptoms, may be wondering what other health benefit B1 may hold

Parkinson- insomnia & increase in sexual urge
i am 50M and have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s some 2 years back. Taking pramipixole since then . My doctor has not yet started levodopa saying its effective for only 4-5 year so will give only when symptoms worsened. One symptom/ side effect which I have not read anywhere is the increase in urge

How do you grow mucuna pruriens?
I wanted to share a try I'm undertaking as an alternative to buying a jar of mucuna pruriens through Amazon, which by the way I never considered as a former Sinemet user. Instead, I've decided to grow the beans myself and witness their growth firsthand. It has no medical purpose for me since I no longer

Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease: could dopamine reduction therapy have clinical utility. (The article)
The replies in Michel0220's contribution regarding Jonathan Sackner Bernstein's theory on dopamine restriction naturally pertain to the video. However, I am missing the scientific basis for this. It can be found in JSB’s recent article in the Journal of Neurology. While it is somewhat understandable,

I just read a post I had gotten to from a link in another past and can’t find it now
I am really losing it. I was teasing a post this morning that had a link to a PSC I believe that was written almost like a fairy tale (Once upon a time). It mentioned Chinese medicine and the premise that too much levodopa could be toxic. Is anyone familiar with this link?

levodopa and augmentation
I have had RLS for over 10 years and controlling symptoms with oxycodone. I have also been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and prescribed Levodopa. Can someone please confirm whether or not this is a dopamine agonist like Pramipexole. If so does it also lead to augmentation?
