i have had PD for about 16 years. I have never been on Sinemet, except for a couple weeks. I am now on 100 mg of Mirapex 3X A DAY AND AMANTADINE 100mg. 3 X a day. I would like to try taking Mucuna capsules. I have one bottle of Mucuna distributed by Himalaya from India. The label says...organic velvet

Comtan increasing off times
Just started taking Comtan (along with usual sinemet) and find my off-times are drastically increased so that there's very little on-time. Didn't expect Comtan to have the opposite effect of what it's supposed to do. Also more foot dystonia (cramping) forcing me to walk on the outside edge--OUCH. And

Mirapex reaction??
Am having strange reaction to Mirapex. Was on super low dose by MDS doc and had to lower that dose after immediate anxiety and worsening leg tremors were the result of first "low" dose prescribed by doc (1/2 tab 3x per day). She suggested I allow the lower dose (1/4 tab 4 x per day) to continue for

Foot Pain
Good Morning, Anyone have issues with foot pain? I have pain on the balls of my feet right below the toe joints. It feels like I have fractured something down there and hurts to stand or walk. It is worse some days and better others. I like to walk for exercise and this is keeping me from being able

Medication Question
I was diagnosed with PD two years ago, but I've had symptoms for decades. I'm an American living in Thailand and I have no medical insurance, so at the moment am not seeing a doctor. I have a question about medication. I take 1/2 Madopar 250 & 1/2 Comtan 200 twice per day. It takes about an hour for

Dyskinesia
I have arrived recently in the "land of
dyskinesia
". I have had periods of uncontrollable movements of head, jaws, teeth, and upper body that I could only describe as a seizure in slow motion. I understand that the meds need to be titrated down slowly.

Parkinsons detox
I read somewhere that bad
dyskinesia
is levodopa toxicity. So is it better to be a lil stiff than be dyskinesic? We just started NAC, seems more sense to give it with tyrisiene. Is that true/ Please watch the video below .

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Sinemet interaction
Come to find out that my little half a dose of benadryl is known to increase the efficacy of levadopa, BUT it raises the risk of TARDIVE
DYSKINESIA
!!! Just in case anyone else is taking benadryl and didn't already know that risk is why I am posting this.

Pain in Parkinson's
Some pain is a symptom of Parkinson’s itself, but other forms can be caused by too much medication, including one which is sometimes caused by
dyskinesia
, the uncontrollable movements often associated with long-term use of dopamine replacement drugs.

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

Dyskinesia: Lessons from Africa
They were investigating whether motor complications (
dyskinesia
) is primarily related to the length of time on levodopa or to other disease-related factors. Two groups were compared, one in Italy and one inGhana.

More about Rytary Please
The reason is because of the
dyskinesia
which I thought maybe would be less with Rytary since the meds are spread out more evenly. Has anyone who is on it found that it reduces
dyskinesia
? Also, does medicare cover it in the USA?
