Is it OK to take Mucuna ALONG WITH Sinemet?
Must my dad back off/down Carbidopa-Levodopa in order to use the Mucuna Pruriens I ordered for him and am reordering since it does help sometimes? Will switching from 15% to 20% help? Will switching to powder help? Is there a better brand? He is NOT on Azilect. Is there another natural substance

ED supplements (Arginine, Phenylalanine, Macca, Carnitine), lack of sensitivity...
Hi, I apologize for my imperfect english. After reading online about natural ED remedies and dopamine, nitric oxide and testosterone boosters, I bought: L-Arginine, DL-Phenylalanine, Macca and L-Carnitine by Nature Essential (spanish brand). I do not plan to relly on these supplements alone, I would

Am I going crazy, just a baby, making a fuss??? I am a 75yr old lady who has RLS ever since I can remember. (Of course was always described a 'fidjet' before RLS was recognized.) I have been following this site for a few years now but only occasionally contributing. Sorry about that but I never seemed

Restless Leg Syndrome. Detox from Dopamine medication... My journey.
After being on Pramepipexole (Sifrol) for several years my GP is helping me detox from the dopamine medication because I had augmentation and my RLS symptoms were really bad each day and night. Now it's day 6 and tonight is my first night without any Pramipexole at all. I've had quite bad flu symptoms

Dopamine surge
As further emphasis on number five (chemicals make you feel better), the "feel" is organic and can be confirmed by functional MRI..... What dopamine you have works more efficiently.....the effective " dopamine surge". Would add more but I gotta go work out

How to stop seeing my naturopath without being rude?
Hiya people, brief update: went to see a naturopath, she correctly diagnoeed me with adrenal fatigue and candida and gave me HCL, enzymes, probiotics and a food plan involving lots of protein (she thought lack of protein might be raising my cortisol). She also prescribed MSM. She doesn't think it is

Appointment fail
I went to a neurologist at St Mary's Hospital, London, on Wednesday. She confessed her ignorance of rls, and stated my wife – who came with me for support – and I were the experts, then blocked everything we said, allowing no time for thought, demonstrating no capacity to listen. We were diplomatic as

It is what happens to your body after drinking a can of coca- cola.
Let's begin with the ingredients of cola. One can of cola has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30-55 milligrams of caffeine and is loaded with harmful artificial flavors and coloring. The major culprit in the cola ingredient list, however, is high-fructose corn syrup, and we'll tell you why

Tramadol aka ralivia
Having augmented on virtually all dopamine agonists and reading about the effectiveness of Tramadol on this website, I am making the switch. I have reduced mirapex by half and will continue to wean myself off with the help of Tramadol. After getting an average of 3 - 4 hours of sleep for a very long

Dopamine med or something else?
I've read that professionals are leaning more and more away from dopamine agonists because of augmentation and other side effects and swaying towards other medications as a first line treatment. I've seen that low doses of opiods are frequently used but isn't there risk of addiction and extreme withdrawals

Have you considered DBS? It is recommended for people with midstage PD who for whom meds are no longer working well!
Don't wait too long to get DBS--' if you're Parkinson's gets too severe it won't work as well . Also you might not get accepted into a program - if Sinemet stops working entirely you won't be able to find a program that will take you! There are surgeons around that can do DBS on you when you are asleep

I experience REALLY bad nights about once or twice a week when I take 2 co-codamol 30/500 which work brilliantly. In between I wearily soldier on because I fear I could become addicted if I take them more than this amount. If I felt confident that addiction was unlikely by taking them say every other
