Effect stacking
Hello everyone, understanding my difficulties that I write in the diary, I came across the term "stacking effects" on the forum, which is mentioned in the dosage and understanding of the effect of levodopa. What is 'effect stacking' and how to recognize it. Thank you.

Peak doses of levodopa - how extreme are your symptoms?
Have you ever experienced the effects of peak doses of levodopa, and how extreme are yours? Here is what happens when I take Madopar Immediate release 100/25 mg: In 15 mins I am almost completely incapacitated - I have to lie down as I lose the ability to voluntarily move a muscle in my body.

PD and B1
I am taking
carbidopa
/
levodopa
for three years now. I have read ”Parkinson’s and the B1 therapy“ on Amazon and am evaluating my next steps. At my last visit to the Neurologist, she mentioned something that could put the cabidopa/levodopa “on high octane”.

L-Theanine (not to be confused with Theanine B1)
Does anybody have any experience of supplementing with L-Theanine, (or drinking Green Tea, which contains L-Theanine) to help with sleep or any symptoms of Parkinsons? This video piqued by interest as it indicates that L-Theanine reduces the excitatory signals of Glutamate in the brain. https://www.youtube.com

L dopa content in supplements
This article says that the supplement labels show different l dopa content than the values measured... Some less, but what is strange, many of them more...Does anyone know the brand you can rely, ideally regularly tested by independent lab and published results? https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing

DHA for dyskinesia also improving sleep?
I'm doing Dr. Mischley's DHA protocol for dyskinesia (https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons/posts/150377221/high-dose-dha-and-dyskinesia-my-experience-so-far). I started my second bottle of high-dose DHA this past Friday. I feel like I'm experiencing almost exactly what she said she sees in her

Trying out L-dopa supplement
While much of my ADHD symptoms are improved by my medication (atomoxetine), I know that I still struggle. I've been listening to the Huberman Lab podcast for a couple of years now, and Dr. Huberman talks about various supplements. Some of the supplements that he has talked about are supposed to help

idea?
Prescribed him
carbidopa
levodopa
. He lost what little energy he had and suffered from dizzy spells. Stopped that drug, contacted doc and his reply was I'll send a different drug but the side effects will probably be worse.

Have any one heard or tried L-Tyrosine ?
My son bought L-Tyrosine for me, and said it helps PD by research, it can help you make dopamine . It is a kind of Amino Acid. My doctor said that you can try it, but, should not take it with levodopa the same time, should take it apart from levodopa. Has someone tried it ?

Cellulose breakdown, pill effectiveness, and gut bacteria
I've been thinking about controlled release levodopa, and how it hasn't worked for me, but works for others. Maybe my gut bacteria is different? This article discusses the findings that some people have lost the ability to break down cellulose in the gut. Many fillers these days are cellulose. Related
