Rytary
1 -25/100 and 145 mg Rytary helps with off time when I run out of
dopamine
, I have to sit down and wait for pills to kick in, but the Rytary helps with that now, but I’m very stiff and achy in leg and arm since on Rytary, anyone else experiencing stiffness with Rytary?

Rytary… might stop??
Rytary gives me 4 hour ON on a 5 hour dose cycle, BUT, the afternoon slump around 3 pm (halfway between doses, but when endogenous
dopamine
is naturally low) is WORSE with some unexpected foot dystonia.

As someone who reported a Parkinson's disease diagnosis, recent research has found E. faecalis and E. faecium convert the Parkinson's drug L-Dopa into
dopamine
, causing GI side effects and limiting L-Dopa serum availability to the brain.

3rd attempt…. for a good reason!I have added important facts.
Dopamine
Agonists and possible torturous augmentation caused by the DAs, are reduced and a more suitable treatment is found more quickly .Yes there will always be the person whose RLS is refractory to treatment but then the secondary care doctors can really use their expertise, brains, knowledge and

which way to go (severe RLS)
Our doctor explained that movement produces
dopamine
but once you stop moving it gets depleted fast. Not sure I got it right. Can someone help to decide what to do next, she is probably augmenting on pramipexole, but is already taking Neurontin, what should be the way out here?

When we talk about revolution "against" the world of Parkinson's...
Not just
dopamine
. (When I write about Parkinson's, I use its former name: "paralysis agitans" to free my mind from prejudices, limitations associated with what everyone believes or knows... to defuse that fascination of words so loaded with information.

Management of Parkinsons Disease
And lets not be stingy on the
dopamine
supplementation. Take your medicine and dont torture yourself! It only adds to the stress. If you have side effects, there are plenty of alternatives that your doctor can try.

Why Won't My Neurologist Listen (Explanation)
What it does: In Parkinson’s disease the amount of
dopamine
is decreased in certain areas of the brain and oral levodopa is given to compensate for this decrease.

Iron Infusion Attempt
He took care to validate my diagnosis of Restless Legs and then went through the various treatment options from
dopamine
agonists which work very well for some of his patients, though alpha 2 delta ligands, opioids and infusions so I had a balanced view of all the options.

if there is a vaccine for PD or PD can be prevented
there will be no motivation to find a cure (to grow back
dopamine
neurons), after we this batch all die, there will be no more PD in the world, is that possible?

Coming off Pramipexole
She had no clue about RLS and I explained Augmentation and
Dopamine
Agonist usage. She agreed that if I wished to come off Pramipexole I must do it gently but basically said, "Can you cut them in half and reduce over several weeks?"

B1 and Vibrating gloves combination
My WWP has been using the PD Buzzboard gloves for 5 weeks and has been taking 1000mg B1 HCL for several weeks but is finding it difficult to maintain her current dose of
dopamine
meds (8 x 25/100) as her off times seem to be increasing, not diminishing.

crying out loud for help..
(Levodopa/Carbidopa)- 125 mg since then along with
dopamine
agonists pramipexole 0.375 mg ER. This year tremendous fatigue, brain fog, loss of memory, increased stiffness and rigidity especially shoulder n neck, loss of muscle mass esp on right side making full time client facing job difficult.

Glad to see more and more players are jumping into the stem cell therapy
It is intended to directly address Parkinson’s underlying mechanisms by replacing the
dopamine
-producing nerve cells progressively lost to patients with precursor cells able to grow into healthy dopaminergic neurons.

Coming off Ropinerol
A family member, after years of taking Ropinerol with resulting augmentation to the point of its no longer having sufficient effect, has abruptly had the prescription for Ropinerol terminated, and another
dopamine
agonist prescribed in its place.

Parkinson’s cure versus settling for remission Reflections on the topic introduced by another member
Mischley is that she chooses to look at Parkinson’s as a
dopamine
deficiency not unlike the lack of insulin for diabetes patients. For some reason, that is less scary to me.

Rytary update
My afternoon
dopamine
slump is also worse on Rytary, I’m not sure why. Mid afternoon is rough. my MDS suggested adding 1/2 C/L 25/100 around 2:30, and it does help. And taking a lower dose in the evening doesn’t seem to help with sleep. I think Rytary accumulates too much in my system.

Does anyone have a comment about taking a Lecithin supplement for a person with PD?
An imbalance in
dopamine
and acetylcholine is believed to drive Parkinson’s progression." Would this hold true for Lecithin?
