Effect stacking
Hello everyone, understanding my difficulties that I write in the diary, I came across the term "stacking effects" on the forum, which is mentioned in the dosage and understanding of the effect of levodopa. What is 'effect stacking' and how to recognize it. Thank you.

Guidance for RLS
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and am so glad to have found you. I have suffered with RLS for years, and in the past year, it's become pretty severe. I get VERY little sleep. Currently, I'm taking Gabapentin and Magnesium Glycinate, but neither are helping--yet. I did take Carbidopa-Levodopa for

High-dose DHA and dyskinesia (my experience so far)
I'm always too busy lately to find time to write more than a sentence or two, but since Park Bear posted the info about Dr. Mischley's DHA protocol for dyskinesia, I decided I should make time to share my experience. I've been using mucuna plus Rx'd carbidopa since the end of September 2022 (and mucuna

L-Theanine (not to be confused with Theanine B1)
Does anybody have any experience of supplementing with L-Theanine, (or drinking Green Tea, which contains L-Theanine) to help with sleep or any symptoms of Parkinsons? This video piqued by interest as it indicates that L-Theanine reduces the excitatory signals of Glutamate in the brain. https://www.youtube.com

L dopa content in supplements
This article says that the supplement labels show different l dopa content than the values measured... Some less, but what is strange, many of them more...Does anyone know the brand you can rely, ideally regularly tested by independent lab and published results? https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing

Trying out L-dopa supplement
While much of my ADHD symptoms are improved by my medication (atomoxetine), I know that I still struggle. I've been listening to the Huberman Lab podcast for a couple of years now, and Dr. Huberman talks about various supplements. Some of the supplements that he has talked about are supposed to help

Have any one heard or tried L-Tyrosine ?
My son bought L-Tyrosine for me, and said it helps PD by research, it can help you make dopamine . It is a kind of Amino Acid. My doctor said that you can try it, but, should not take it with levodopa the same time, should take it apart from levodopa. Has someone tried it ?

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
Vitamin B6 is an essential cofactor for over 100 enzymatic reactions. We need abundant B6 to keep what is left of our dopaminergic neurons as healthy as possible, especially since they are already compromised by Parkinson's. Levodopa medication depletes vitamin B6. B6 is only present in foods in low

Cellulose breakdown, pill effectiveness, and gut bacteria
I've been thinking about controlled release levodopa, and how it hasn't worked for me, but works for others. Maybe my gut bacteria is different? This article discusses the findings that some people have lost the ability to break down cellulose in the gut. Many fillers these days are cellulose. Related

NE3107 added to levodopa enhances motor, non-motor benefits
“These data suggest that NE3107 as an adjunct therapy to levodopa may hold promise in ameliorating specific non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease, particularly in sleep/fatigue and restlessness of the legs,” Joseph Palumbo, MD, BioVie’s chief medical officer, said in a company press release. https

Citicoline: "patients treated with citicoline experienced a significant worsening 45 days after the medication was discontinued". Updated.
This statement appears in a review that was published here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10548481/ It is attributed to a study published in a book on citicoline in 1985. I've been unable to locate a copy of this book either online, for sale or to borrow from a library. Book: Zappia
