C/L induced dyskinesia - severe wrist pain
My mom has severe wrist pain due to Carbidopa Levdopa induced
dyskinesia
(25/100 x 3 times per day). Otherwise she is fine without any tremor. She says after C/L intake the pain is unbearable in her wrist. Infact, we can see inflammation (redness) in the wrist area.

Anyone taking GOCOVRI?
I take it for
dyskinesia
and to extend my "on" time. It helps the
dyskinesia
and helps "on" time a bit. No side effects that I know about. I tried Entacapone before that and it gave me bad dreams. My questions are; 1) Have you used it? 2). Did/does it help?

Treating PD with levodopa combined with tetracycline (Effects of levodopa on gut bacterial antibiotic resistance in Parkinson’s disease rat)
The combination of levodopa and antibiotics, such as tetracycline and vancomycin, in the treatment of PD may decrease the amount of corresponding antibiotic resistance genes in gut bacteria, which would give a theoretical basis for treating PD with levodopa combined with tetracycline and vancomycin in

Requested help for further training of neurologist
My introduction to the new neurologist was rather disappointing. Apart from the fact that he did not even make any attempt to come across as somewhat understanding and social, this person again lacked constructive thinking about possible improvements to the PD and PN (peripheral neuropathy) situation

Olanzapine indefinitely
I might want to stay on it indefinitely but I’m scared of things like tardive
dyskinesia
which can come on once you’ve been on antipsychotics for a long time. Is anyone here staying on Olanzapine indefinitely?

Mucuna Pruriens
Having stopped the Mucuna, her
dyskinesia
and brain fog almost immediately improved. Has anyone successfully been able to start taking Mucuna in place of the normal Sinemet medication? Can this be done and if so, what transition doses should one apply?

C/L induced Dsytonia - extreme pain.
Hi all, My mother 57 years old is on C/L Controlled Release tablet (Syndopa 125mg CR) thrice a day with the dosage split as 1/2-1/4-1/4-1/2 , (i.e 62.5mg-31.25mg-31.35mg-62.5mg). Her afternoon dose is split as 1/2 again and hence the 1/4th -1/4th. She also takes Ropinirole 1mg and MAO-B Inhibitor

Has anybody had dyskinesia symptoms from Sinemet?
I wanted to keep this dose small because I don't want to get
dyskinesia
. The way I understand it from my Neurologist, is if the dose is higher (whatever that means), then anywhere from 3-7 years one can expect these symptoms to occur.

intense itching, and Lipo atrophy and taking amantadine and mucuna
I have intense itching on my back and stomach and toes an hour after taking amantadine and mucuna. I don’t know if it is an allergy. I also have significant Lipoatrophy which seems to be exacerbated with the amantadine and sinamer and mucuna… does this happen to anyone else? What do you recommend I

amantadine, and Lipo atrophy
has anyone taking amantadine experienced lLipo atrophy? All of my fat has disappeared, and my buttocks is flaccid. I read that early antiretrovirals could caus Lipo atrophy, and I wonder if amantadine could be doing the same.

Effects from going off of amantadine
I am taking 2 tablets 25-100 C/L 4x per day and 1 tablet of 50-200 at bedtime. Back in August of this year doctor put me on amantadine starting with 2.5 ml. I was supposed to eventually get to 10 ml, but I never got past 7.5 because of the nausea. It seemed to help a little but I still continued to have

Fast acting Levodopa?
I recall that somebody had written about making a quick acting levodopa by grinding up a tab of Sinemet or dissolving it in carbonated water or.... ? My memory is bad on this because I had no need for it at the time. My understanding is that levodopa needs to reach and be absorbed in the small intestine
