Recommended questions for neurologist?
He's already on
Carbidopa
-
Levodopa
and newly on Amantadine which has really helped. He's wheelchair bound with legs virtually permanently crossed. He can still eat regular food--tends to choke when taking a pill with water, though we usually grind up pills and give in applesauce.

Neck pain - any recommendations to supplement the medication?
He has started low dose of Sinemet,
Carbidopa
and
levodopa
and he is on waiting list for Physio. Just wondering if anyone has found anything that can supplement these to relieve the pain i.e. massage, acupuncture, or anything else? TIA

Difference between Sinemet and Madopar (Co-beneldopa)
A couple of days ago someone on this site asked me what the difference was between these two after I had posted that Sinemet made me confused whereas Madopar was almost miraculous in its effect. I'm afraid I can't find the original question but the difference is that Sinemet is ldopa combined with carbidopa

Dyskinesia: Lessons from Africa
I have posted this as there are many voices against medication on here but many of us see meds as a life saver despite the problems. It's primary purpose is not to convince those who are convinced meds are bad. It's more to support those who are taking them and to give some reasons why they have made

URIDINE: Why LD/CD Users Should Consider It
“Chronic treatment with a combination of

Restless Leg Syndrome & Parkinsons
Hi I have had restless leg symptoms for nearly a year, since starting levodopa treatment for Parkinsons disease. I have read that levodopa can make RLS worse (augmentation), but if I stop taking levodopa, my PD symptoms return. I wondered if anyone else has this issue.

Carbidopa/Levadopa question
I started C/L a couple weeks ago. It made me queasy so a couple days ago the doc added a carbidopa supplement (25 mg). I can hardly keep my eyes open and my legs feel like they're ready to give out after walking just a couple blocks or so. I want to give these meds a fair shot but I am wondering if I

carbidopa-levodopa
I would like to know how your relatives/patient has done when taken off the
carbidopa
-
levodopa
. Two different neurologists have suggested that I take my husband off it. I have not yet done it because he was in the research trials, and they require for him to stay on it while in the trial.

carbidopa levodopa vs. coconut oil
I started taking
carbidopa
levodopa
one week ago. My first medicine. Tremors did not stop all week. Yesterday I consumed two tblsp coconut oil once at lunch time and again at dinner time. By evening my tremors stopped and stayed stopped through the night. Was it the CO or the C/L?

Medication
I'm trying to replace Carbidopa/Levadopa with Mucuna Puriens. Wondering if I need to slowly reduce dosage or would it be ok to stop one 25/l00 as long as I'm still getting L-dopa from M.P.?

Chest infection and treatment
Hi A quick update from my side - my dad has been bed-bound since July 2015 - he aspirated and had a PEG tube, and his
carbidopa

levodopa
was also stopped due to terrible leg spasms (this meant he could not swallow anymore, unknown to me) - it was restarted in Oct and he started eating/drinking/communicating

Frequency of levodopa doses
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in the USA and my dosage is half a tablet three times a day an hour before meals. Now I'm in the UK and my new neurologist says that is wrong and I should space the pills eight hours apart. Who is right? I'd be grateful for any advice

I write with some hesitation and a lot of caution. It is very rare for me to talk about medication and even rarer to me to make any kind of recommendation or comment especially pertaining to change. However this is an adult community and we are all sharing our knowledge in order that some small detail

Levodopa Equivalent Plasma Levels App
For instance, 1mg of rasagiline makes about the same total contribution as 100mg
levodopa
(taken with
carbidopa
). This approach can be improved by taking into account the timing of the doses and the different durations of effectiveness of the different drugs.

Functional Neurology
So I’m now on
carbidopa
/
levodopa
with the hope that I can get some of my functions back. Many of the benefits I got from my first experience with the functional neurologist have deteriorated substantially.
