Carbidopa in Sinemet very harmful.
I recently ran across a research study on the serious damage done by the carbidopa in Sinemet (generic = carbidopa levodopa). It is a documented cause of a striking increase in deaths in Parkinson’s sufferers since it was added to L-dopa (levodopa), and since people with RLS often are prescribed the

RLS for over 20 yrs
I don't see many people who suffer with RLS mention the drug I am on..along with 4 mg of ropinirole at night ( recently upped from 3 ). I take CARBIDOPA-LEVODOPA 2tbs( 25/100 ) 3 x times a day. during the day. I wonder if I am on to much medication? I am basically managing the symptoms with this dosing

Mucuna sinemet equivalent?
We have successfully been reducing my dad's sinemet intake and replacing it with mucuna. We started off with the raw powder but for convenience sake, have switched to the now brand 15% capsules. I am just trying to figure out equivalent doses. Can anyone clarify? Based on my understanding, 1 tablet

Any info on RLS and Chronic Kidney Disease?
Hello, fellow twitchers. My pertinent PMH: I spent 3 weeks in a coma after I fractured my skull in an MVA 35 years ago.

Sublingual B1
I have added comments to other posts but not written specifically on the subject of taking B1 sublingually, so, as I had received questions on the subject, I thought I would write a post. In 2017 when I first read about Dr C it was in connection with treating Parkinson with injections of B1. Injections

Tremor Hell
I am still fighting dreadful tremors. I just did a trial of a new med called, Inbrija 42mg Inhailer powder form of carbidopa levodopa. Didn't help. It created unwanted side effects. I guess I will continue on with my Carbidopa Levodopa 25/250mgs. Several times per day. This is pure hell. With this tremor

Can L-tyrosine replace L-dopa?
I tried it yesterday evening and it would seem that it does so to a small extent. Has anyone tried it?

Grapefruit update?
A few months ago there were various posts and some suggestion that inhibiting CYP3A4 using Grapefruit juice, could prolong levodopa “on time “. What happened to that idea? Is there any update I might have missed?

Levodopa-Induced Euphoria and Addictions in Parkinson’s. It's of concern for people with neuropsychiatric fluctuations between ON and OFF.
I'm referencing a 2017 research article. Some people have more significant neuropsychiatric fluctuations between ON and OFF levodopa drug treatment states. These people seem to be more at risk for triggered addictive behavior and drug abuse. The conclusion of the abstract is "The psychostimulant effects
