Neurosurgery in Parkinson Disease: A Brief History and Look Forward
The first-line treatment for Parkinson disease (PD), levodopa paired with
carbidopa
, did more than revolutionize treatment for PD when it entered use in the 1960s, it also largely replaced the use of neurosurgeries, especially pallidotomy and thalamotomy, that had been used in PD care since the beginning

SIDE EFFECTS
I have read in several different sources that levodopa /
carbidopa
side effects are/could be severe. Am wondering what everyone's take is. I read somewhere that the med is good for 5 years and then causes all sorts of issues.

Microtablet dispenser - sounds like a good idea.
Daytime doses of L-dopa were replaced with L-dopa /
carbidopa
microtablets, 5mg / 1.25 mg delivered from a dose dispenser device with programmable reminders. After two weeks, doses were adjusted based on ambulatory accelerometry and clinical monitoring.

Madopar vs Sinemet (& mucuna)
My understanding is that mucuna needs the
carbidopa
in Sinemet to be able to cross the BBB. Does the same apply to Madopar if it doesn't have
carbidopa
?

Back Pain associated with PD
This seems to be worse since my neurologist increased my
carbidopa
levodopa to 2 pills (25-100) 4 times a day. Can this be the problem?

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.

Restless arms
I'm on
carbidopa
levodopa 50 12.5. Rasagiline 1mg. I've been taking 200mg daily tramadol for back pain but tried leaving it out because of constipation. Developed severe akathesia of my arms at night. I suppose it serves me right for taking tramadol. Maybe if I stick it out I'll recover.

Natural carbidopa?
I am thinking about mucuna purines but everyone here says it must be taken with
carbidopa
(spelling?). I am not on any meds yet. I just started taking thiamine today in fact. Is there a natural supplement that can be taken for
carbidopa
?

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.

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.

Parkinson’s Disease copy/paste fromThe Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine
Conventional Medications ● Sinemet: is a combination of l-dopa and
carbidopa
. ● Amantadine (Symmetrel): modulates motor fluctuations; is a dopamine receptor agonist.

5-HTP in patients not taking Sinemet can worsen symptoms of PD
According to The Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine 5-Hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-HTP) is beneficial only if used in combination with the drug Sinemet (a combination of l-dopa and decarboxylase inhibitor
carbidopa
).

how do you administer Mucuna powder?
Do I start to reduce the amount of levodopa /
carbidopa
or take it along with your current dose and Mucuna? It Mucuna before meals, medication before the L / C?
