Levodopa just for exercise?
Is anyone on or know of anyone that's on
levodopa
just for exercise and not on it the rest of the time? I'm on neupro which has helped live a regular daily life but still very dystonic and stiff for full on exercise and wondering if I could get a temporary boost to get through full on exercise?

AZP2006 - Update
My husband has Parkinsons - I am always researching as to what is new and what might be helpful besides using the gold standard -
Levodopa
/Carbidopa for Parkinsons which incidentally was developed in the 1960's.

How do you grow mucuna pruriens?
It has no medical purpose for me since I no longer use
levodopa
at the moment, but valuable if Sinemet and mucuna are banised by the mandatory introduction of JSB's therapy. 😀 However, as a passionate gardener, it's an endeavor that I hope will not only give me a chance to experience the plant's beauty

How long off mirapex before moving on?
A friend with infrequent rls says carbidopa
levodopa
works almost instantly when symtoms began. Because I mays go several days without rls, I would rather have a med that I can take as needed rather than taking a med daily when most days I don't need it. Is this too good to be true?

DIY Parkinson's Glove Users - How are you adjusting?
My hypothesis is that it is acting as an agonist or amplifying my ER agonists to the point where they are out of balance with
levodopa
. (I'm agonist sensitive, too much hits me with crushing dystonia). Thanks for sharing your experiences! Jack's Mom #glove #vibrotactile

Dangerous Supplement. Mucuna Pruriens. Dangerous side effects you must know.
Counter reaction to carbidopa
levodopa
is unmanageable and unpredictable. Makes combining it with real Parkinson's medications a night mare. Maybe just a weed with a placebo effect wasting time and money while delaying proper medical efforts clinically proven to work.

Fava Beans for Parkinson's?
This is a very good post that discusses the use of Fava Beans as a source of
Levodopa
and as a natural addition or adjunct to Sinemet. https://www.scienzavegetariana.it/nutrizione/favabeans.html

One person’s 10 year journey of taking Levodopa. How the amount has increased, the change in dosing intervals and how they manage it.
This video is a really great honest and open account of someone’s experience in taking
Levodopa
. Well worth viewing for anyone taking the drug or thinking of taking it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL-86-dZDi4

The fateful "off" moment.
It's as if all the symptoms , which until then had remained compressed inside you thanks to
Levodopa
, as if by magic they come out to shout all their strenght and turn you into a zombie. There is no gradualness. It is necessary to become good strategists of oneself.

does dyskinesia go away when people stop taking levodopa?
If no, it indicates that
levodopa
somehow damages the brain

Amantadine questions
I'm on carbidopa/
levodopa
, entacapone and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses
