dyskinesia
,or when the levels of levodopa are rising or falling,referred to as Diphasic dyskinesia.are some times referred as silly Foot, stomping, kicking of leg twisting.

How I reduced my Parkinsonās meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
I became very addicted to and dependent upon this medication, despite the
dyskinesia
the medication induced in me, as well as its many other side effects, including: lots of anxiety, the exasperation of my restless leg syndrome, the weakening of my voice, my intense sleepiness and lethargy etc. etc.

Awful lot of levodopa for such a short disease duration
Anyone on 6 x Carbidopa Levodopa 25/100 mg, less than 2 years after diagnosis? My neuro is increasing my c/l from 1 tablet 3 x a day to 2 tablets 3 x a day. It seems to me like it's an awful lot of levodopa for such a short disease duration. Anyone else on such a dose under 2 years since diagnosis

Anyone taking B6? Notice any improvements?
From Kaiser Permanent about C\L and Vitamin B6 and B3 - https://wa.kaiserpermanente.org/kbase/topic.jhtml?docId=hn-1339004 B6 - "Test tube, animal, and preliminary human studies suggest that carbidopa may cause depletion of vitamin B6. However, the use of carbidopa with levodopa reduces the vitamin B6

The Cause Of Vitamin B-6 Toxicity (Updated)
Different forms of vitamin B-6. Credit: https://openi.nlm.nih.gov/detailedresult?img=PMC3412620_pone.0040954.g001&req=4. Carbidopa uses up vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is essential for all manner of biochemical wizardry, so it is not something we want to be short of. Vitamin B6 and carbidopa bind together

I can't get rid of my right hand tremor
I was diagnosed two years ago and I did not take any medication except HDT which helped a lot except the tremor. Four month ago I started C/L 3x100/25 per day to help the tremor but without luck. In March I saw my neuro who gave me amantadine 3x100 and doubled the C/L. I started amantadine 2x100mg/day

To Go or Not to Go - plea for community help
I am afraid of embarrassment and making a fool of myself if I start tremoring or develop dystonia or
dyskinesia
. I am still adjusting to Rytary , so things are still unpredictable. I vacillate between going and not going.

Annual neurological check
This morning I made the annual neurological check from my PD diagnosis of May 2018. The therapy was 2 tablet Sinemet 100+25 mg. per day. Compared to the previous control, has been confirmed the substantial stability of the general situation. Pull test ok, cognitive tests ok, engine tests ok, balance

Which would you rather have? Violent dyskinesia or go back to less L-dopa? Are there other options? Can we thread the needle and avoid both?
I'm thinking of reducing to avoid developing
, or at least put it off, Do you have a better solution?
