I have slurred speech issues that manifests itself when there is a
Levodopa
imbalance. I have social anxiety issues that came with my Parkinson’s diagnosis. My self esteem is low and my self confidence is lower.

VITAMANIA; A historical documentary on vitamins and supplements. From CuriosityStream (90 mins)
Vitamins in food are better than vitamins as pills for the same reason that
levodopa
in Mucuna Pruriens is better than
levodopa
as a pill. Etc., etc. https://curiositystream.com/video/2112/vitamania?playlist=3

Anyone taking B6? Notice any improvements?
However, the use of carbidopa with
levodopa
reduces the vitamin B6-depleting effects of
levodopa
. More research is needed to determine whether vitamin B6 supplementation is advisable when taking carbidopa."

Dystonia and Parkinson's disease: What is the relationship?
The response of early dystonia to the introduction of dopamine replacement therapy (
levodopa
, dopamine agonists) is variable; dystonia commonly occurs in PD patients following
levodopa
initiation.

Annual neurological check
I told to the neurologist that I use supplements and that I was able to reduce my
Levodopa
by 50%. He disagrees with the reduction of
Levodopa
but agrees on the use of supplements if they benefit.

Wondering What an "Early Stage" of PSP Looks/Feels Like
Woman of 68 years new to this forum.....I've seen two neurologists who said I don't have PD but said neck pain was maybe dystonia and head tremor ET. BUT there is something very grave and unusual happening and I have been researching Parkinsonism for answers. If I am in an early stage of PSP would any

Chronic nausea anyone?
Does anyone experience "chronic" nausea on their carbidopa/
levodopa
...my brother has been on meds for 5 years now....and has had chronic nausea for about 3-4 years. It's terrible.

What is the difference between Carbidopa and Benserazide?
I get major dystonia from
Levodopa
Carbidopa. I am thinking of asking my neurologist to switch to Benserazide. Does
Levodopa
Benserazide cause dyskinesia and dystonia? Thank you all

Transitioning from aNOW product for my levodopa to a purer levodopa and I sense a loss of some benefit in the absence of the NOW caps
I have seen Posts that claim there is benefit from taking naturally sourced levodobo that Contains ingredients beyond the desired
levodopa
. I believe it now. Anyone combine 98% pure with a more raw product with good results?

Diphasic dyskinesia
What I read that Dyskinesia can occur when the level of
levodopa
in the body is at a maximum,referred to as peak dose dyskinesia,or when the levels of
levodopa
are rising or falling,referred to as Diphasic dyskinesia.are some times referred as silly Foot, stomping, kicking of leg twisting.

Falls gait cholinergic pedunculopontine Bohnen it al 2009
However, balance-related deficits are least responsive to
levodopa
treatment.1,2 Therefore, there is a need to explore nondopaminergic mechanisms of gait control in PD. Until recently, gait was generally viewed as a largely automated motor task, requiring minimal cognitive input.

Which would you rather have? Violent dyskinesia or go back to less L-dopa? Are there other options? Can we thread the needle and avoid both?
Taken from "Once Upon a Pill":
Ater this patient reduced his medication slowly and carefully over more than a year, the violent ticcing stopped and his original tremor – a small, fluttering, weak movement – reappeared, amazing him and his family. For the first time, the family members were willing

Anyone tried Levodopa inhalation powder (Inbrija, Acorda Therapeutics)?
Levodopa
inhalation powder (Inbrija, Acorda Therapeutics) Has anyone taken this? My mom just received a prescription from her neurologist and she is waiting on her delivery to try it out.

Levodopa carbidopa starts to work 2:30 hrs after taking it...
Got the same when tried
Levodopa
in 2017. It had returned to normal after a couple of days when stopped
Levodopa
then. Was always afraid of it afterwards but my new neuro did not believe I got
Levodopa
induced dystonia and insisted I degenerate so quickly because I did not take medication.
