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.

Age old question: does PD or L/C cause Dyskinesia?
I know there are recent studies out there that say that L/C doesn't - that PD's progression does. So someone just diagnosed might as well start on L/C straight away, right? But does anyone [i]really [/i]know? Are the studies funded by the drug companies somehow? Asking for a recently diagnosed friend

How I reduced my Parkinson’s meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
Within a year I was taking the standard medication associated with the disease, dopamine in its various forms (
levodopa
/carbadopa, aka. Sinemet).

Practice Parameter: Neuroprotective strategies and alternative therapies for Parkinson disease (an evidence-based review)
Levodopa
does not appear to accelerate disease progression. 2. No treatment has been shown to be neuroprotective. 3. There is no evidence that vitamin or food additives can improve motor function in PD. 4. Exercise may be helpful in improving motor function. 5.

Levodopa Induced Dystonia

Trial for dopamine- responsive Dystonia?
More good news, I'm doing pretty well on Carbidopa-
levodopa
. Can't believe how much movement I've regained! I can see the other drivers on the express way!

Relief from Artane but none with Sinemet
I’m curious if anyone else has had symptom relief while taking Artane after
levodopa
provided no relief? My neurologist had me on Sinemet, eventually up to 3 tablets 4x a day. During this time I didn’t experience any symptom relief.

B-1 Dosage Change
I am anxious to move on but I also realize I should be cautious.i am also on 25-100 carbidopa
levodopa
2 tabs at 8an m, 2 tabs at 2pm and 2 tabs at 8pm. As well as 1 tab of .5 mg Pramipexole at each of those times. I will ask my neurologist to take me off of Pramipexole due to the inherent risks.
