Xadago® (safinamide)
Does any body know where I can buy (safinamide) online? I need it for my dad who is on Levodopa (L-dopa) alone. I would be very grateful if you could help.

Book recommendation
"Mucuna versus Parkinson" by Dr Rafael González Maldonado, neurologist. Everything you've ever wanted to know about using Mucuna and more. Did you know that drinking green tea increases the effect of levodopa?!

NO TREMOR OR STIFFNESS AT A.M.
Why I don't have tremors or heavy stiffness when I wake up in the morning until I get Levodopa-Carbi pills? Same when L-dopa is going down, but an hour after that I have no tremors. Been with PD 15 yrs.

Apo-go-Pen
I'm new here, was diagnosed with PD in 2010 after Dat-scan. As the Oral medications wear out and dyskinesia takes control of me most of the day, my Neuro suggests to switch to The apo-go-morphine pen. For that I reduced by half my Levodopa dosage which is not without difficulty and 2 days before

Multi Vitamins and PD
My neurologist told me not to take multi vitamins. He reckons vitamin B disrupts the absorption of Levodopa. Any comments?

Xadago (Safinamide)in UK.
Xadago (Safinamide) is a promising new MAO (B) inhibitor .In the UK NICE approved its use last May. It lasts between 6 and 10 times longer in the body than the other MAOIs used for PD - Azilect (Rasagaline) and Selegeline. Safinamide is much more complex than either of these other two MAOIs as it

levodopa
10-100 mg. But now since I have RLS so often during the day, I find I have to take up to three of them a day. I am only suppose to take two. It was mentioned in one of the posts I read regarding going to a Neurologist. Should I? tori

APO Infusion Pump Giving Me Hope - More ON Time - would like to hear from others who have tried APO infusion.
I would love to hear from others who have tired or are using the apomorphine infusion pump. I started it almost 30 days ago in US drug trial.

Research dated 2014 about C/L and rising PD death rate
Well this is disconcerting! Why is C/L on the shelf if this research is reliable we ought to be just using Levodopa https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25364278

MOVEMENT DISORDERS Parkinson’s disease is the most common movement disorder in developed countries. Even with levodopa therapy the cause of death in such patients is commonly respiratory. Characteristic findings in such patients are a reduction in both maximal static inspiratory and expiratory pressures
