Entacapone (second time round)
After 2 hours of painstaking typing I lost log. But with a few bites of dark choc. And my extreme stubbornness I will try again. I was diagnosed 14 years ago with Parkinson's. I was a teacher at our local college, competitive curler and training for my first marathon. I was in the best health I could

Stalevo
I currently take Stalevo 125 5 times per day trying to avoid protein-rich meals as much as possible. I just worry about the other stuff alongside the levodopa - the 25mg cardopa and 200mg entacapone in every single tablet. I've experimented with Stalevo 100, 150 and 200 but when I tried 4 x 150 recently

Position of relief from foot dystonia
I am experiencing more off time with increasing foot cramping, bad enough to put me on my hands and knees. Serendipity strikes! I was so tired I crawled up to a couch and rested my upper body on it. Still on my knees I pressed the top of my foot into the carpet which shut down the cramp. This was

Pineapple , Watermelon,Sweet potatoes,asparagus, mushrooms etc, Can reduce L-Dopa absorption time,enhance ON time,slow PD progression !!
Experience of my friend one among us : I had two glasses of pineapple juice ( rich in Mannitol ) 20 minutes after taking my PD medication Syndopa CR125 ( L-dopa / C-dopa tabs), and the result was very good. My medication absorption time reduced from one and a half hrs to 50 minutes, and the effective

15years taking Ibuprofen, Parkinson's has plateaued!
I was diagnosed PWP way back in 1991 - at the age of 45. I was prescribed Beta blockers only for a couple of years, then a small levodopa - MADOPAR 125mg once a day. This intake is now 8 x 125mg together with Entacapone plus Pramipexole. Around 1993, I used to have lots of friends who drank quite a lot

I feel levadopa is not working for me and making me worse. If I ask to come off it will I have to go into hospital?. I have probable cbd.
Hi everybody . I have heard from a lot of you that levadopa has not worked for you and I feel this is happening to me . I have had nearly 24 hours off it today and my mood has been lighter with less spasms and pain . I just feel this drug puts my brain into a fog and I can't organise my thoughts etc.

I'm struggling for some time feeling most uncomfortable condition after I take the medicine viz. Syncapone 150 -(this is the combination
of
Carbidopa
,
Levodopa
and
Entacapone
tablets). For a while I can't make out which is going on in my brain. Even I can't understand. I get scared! My Neurologist could not give satisfactory explanation. I continue to suffer.

What do MAO-b Inhibitors do for us that no other type of Pd medication can do?
I am not a doctor, nor do I have any form of medical training. However! I do have a lot of experience on this subject! I was prescribed a single medication, back in 1992, when I was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. That was the only medication I took for ten years. I now no longer need to take

Is exercise really the answer?
I am the only Pd patient, that I know of, who has managed to reverse many of his/her movement symptoms. I am also the only patient, that I know of, who has not had to take any Pd medication anymore. For the past 11 years I have not needed to take any medication for my Pd. I had been taking Eldepryl for
