Fast acting Levodopa?
My understanding is that
levodopa
needs to reach and be absorbed in the small intestine, so the drug needs much time to kick in. There are times however, when the
levodopa
is needed right away. Does anyone recall the post to have thoughts about getting
levodopa
absorbed faster?

Negative levodopa
Where might negative
levodopa
be useful: - as we have seen, reducing
levodopa
induced dyskinesia; - response to mistakenly taking a double dose - as soon as you find the mistake eat protein; - smooth out the peaks in
levodopa
levels.

My neurologidt prescribed it to me (50mg.) to take in combination with
levodopa
. Its function should be to neutralize those enzymes that degrade
levodopa
so as to make "on" effect more lasting. It only worked for me a few months.

Is high dose thiamine therapy effective for people not taking levodopa?
If I understand correctly this therapy "is a co-adjuvant therapeutic measure to use with
levodopa
therapy". Does it mean this therapy won't have any effect on my friend not taking
levodopa
? They are taking amantadine and pramipexole. Can B1 therapy help?

ibuprofen for PD
Occasionally I take Ibuprofen 400 mg once in a week or so and it fortifies the effects of
levodopa
by three times or higher. Wondering if there are any studies available on ibuprofen use for PD. Are there any negative side effects of its use for long ? Or long term positive effects for PD:

Levodopa may slow progression
There has been much concern that
levodopa
hastens the progression of PD. Many studies have found this not to be the case.
