Experiences with

Levodopa

Just like to know if there is anyone who got helped from Levodopa.

Conclusion: Krauncha seed powder is just another form of Levodopa and not a solution for Parkinson’s disease. https://www.sukhayuayurved.com/why-levodopa-and-dopamine-medicines-should-be-avoided-in-parkinsons-disease-a-deeper-ayurvedic-perspective/

Should I increase my daily levodopa dosage, Currently I take levodopa only daytime, not night. I feel off symptoms like rigidity/tremors after 2,5h after levodopa take?

Levodopa also eased long-latency reflexes, or muscle responses to nerve signals that involve processing in the brain before muscles react. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/news/levodopa-helps-ease-muscle-stiffness-parkinsons/

Anyone else working with levodopa?

Has anyone replaced levodopa completely with mucuna pruriens? If so, what doses do you take?

My current daily drug dosage is 4x100mg levodopa, 2x10mg selegiline mao inhibitor, 0.56mg dopamine agonist. 2 main problems: - *on* state only 2.5-3 hours after levodopa take, tremors between takes, daily *off* time then quite long, slowness and tremors during off time - heavy tremors during

I had a good appointment with my MDS today, i was pleased that she agreed with me that i need to reduce my levodopa level, rather than increase!

Also, were you adviced by your Neurologist that you need to adjust the dose of the levodopa you were taking at the time as Lorazepam makes levodopa ineffective? drugs.com LORazepam can decrease the effects of in some people.

I was diagnosed Dec 2020 with PD. I started out with motor function problems but no tremor on my right side. My neurologist started me on C/L 25/100 3 tablets a day. Motor junction greatly improved but started getting dystonia in my right foot. I tried therapy, botox but my neurologist said it was

In my opinion PWP should only take levodopa and refuse to add extra medicines to the daily routine. Adding on new medicines to one's regimen is just like sinking slowly in the quagmire.

Came across it in a LK Mischley document re using 2 by 500 mg cd choline per day apparently improving the effectiveness of levodopa Very important! Please note park_bear's warning re this below!!!

What I found is that nicotine controls my symptoms better than levodopa. At this rate, I’m going I could be able to get off of levodopa soon. I’m on two pills a day and at my worst I was at six or seven.

I certainly was not aware of that until my levodopa stopped working. I wonder why a Neurologist would not inform his patients with Parkinson's about such a serious drug interaction. drugs.com LORazepam can decrease the effects of in some people.

My personal experience is that levodopa improves nocturnal mobility (such as rolling over in the bed, getting out of the bed etc) but it causes sleeplessness. I request others to share their personal experience https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?

Since I have Parkinson as well I cannot stop taking Levodopa.

Is there a definitive impact to how h.pyloi affects levodopa absorbtion?

The cause of this is presently being investigated however in doing my own research I read that levodopa can cause haemolytic anaemia. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience and if so what was done to treat the problem.
