Pramipexole
I've spent hours researching augmentation and feel a bit confused as some of the information is different to what my G.P told me! I have added an extract from some clinical trials. Anyone got any thoughts?? Evidence review: There is clear evidence that pramipexole reduces the leg movements associated

Change to Carbidopa Levodopa CR, dykinesia, neck dystonia
I recently saw my Neuro and had my prescription changed from C-L to an equivalent dosage combination of C-L and C-L CR (sustained release) to reduce off time. I went from three times 1-1/2 25/100 C-L pills per day to a regimen of one 25/100 C-L plus three 50/200 C-L CR pills per day. A presciption of

A few questions about how the B1 Therapy is currently administered, and an idea on how to improve results.
First question I'm wondering about is those of you who have been experimenting with B1, what methodology have you been using to try to find the correct dosage? Also, what method does Dr. Constantini recommend for determining the individual dosage amount needed for each person? A thought I had was if

Interesting to read the post just put up on Levodopa (Co-Careldopa) I have just been prescribed 1to 2 nightly12.5 mg. I argumented on ropinerole almost a year ago and have been on pregabalin but there is a good chance that this has caused me to lose my peripheral vision. I have just weened of that

Does L-Tyrosine also cause augmentation
I have recently come off an OTC L-Dopa supplement because it was causing augmentation. I'm trying to get my dopamine levels to restore naturally and am wondering whether I should take L-Tyrosine (which is the amino acid building block for L-Dopa, found in eggs, cheese, meat, etc). I would be doing so

Symtoms getting worse?
Hi I was diagnosed in November 2018 with Parkinson's aged 54 it was quite a shock to say the least I had struggled with walking for 2 year prior to this and had been attending a podiatrist for a collapsed foot arch which is what I had been diagnosed with. It took two years for Parkinson's diagnosis I

T or F--lower dose of C/L means you can take it longer?
True or False? In the past I remember reading these 2 things: 1) The later you can delay treatment with C/L drugs, the longer you can take them as you age, and 2) Keep the dose as low as possible for as long as possible, this will stretch out the amount of time before you plateau on the meds. This doesn't

Protein ?
Even though I wait 30 min. or 1 hour to eat protein after my pills, my cardopa/levadopa seems to wear off sooner. Also for the past 4 months I've been smelling levodopa, right in my nostrils, does anyone experience the smell. It happens, when the levodopa starts to work also I take levodopa from

4.6. Twice as effective We have seen that the Mucuna seed extract naturally contains levodopa. If we quantify and compare it to the same dose of synthetic levodopa contained in tablets of Sinemet (or Madopar), we find that levodopa from Mucuna is approximately twice as powerful in controlling parkinsonian

How long do L-dopa withdrawal symptoms last?
I took an over the counter L-dopa supplement (Macuna puriens) for a few months for my restless legs and then experienced augmentation and rebound. I stopped cold turkey a week ago and am experiencing withdrawal effects in the form of nervous system pain. Wondering how long it takes for the withdrawal

Any guidance on how to switch from IR C/L to CR C/L during the day?
I would like to try switching my mom over from her immediate release (IR) carbidopa levadopa (C/L) to controlled release (CR) C/L during the day. She already takes CR CL at night and I notice that it seems to work much smoother for her. She still needs one or two IR C/L throughout the night until she
