Rasagiline?
I had an appointment with a neurologist who wants me to continue taking Carbidopa-
levodopa
, but also take Rasagiline. The side effects and food interactions list seem onerous and dangerous to me. And, it is rather expensive. I canceled the prescription until I understand this drug better.

Mucuna Pruriens
I would like to substitute mucuna pruriens for the Carbidopa
levodopa
. I have 500 mg capsules standardized to 20% L-dopa (not exactly sure what that means). How much
levodopa
is that? My C/L Rx is 10-100 mg, 4 times daily. How many 500mg mucuna capsules do I take as an equivalent?

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
So if taken together orally,
levodopa
medication and B6 will inactivate each other. If possible, P5P should be taken 2 hours apart from
levodopa
medication. If that is not possible, separate P5P from
levodopa
with a meal.

Levodopa
/Carbidopa combo (Dopicar; 250 mg
Levodopa
, 25 mg Carbidopa, manufactured by Teva).

Parkinson's Arm Pain Mystery Solved: Overuse Injury Due to Tremor. Update - What is Helping
In my experience,
levodopa
medication helps but does not provide complete relief. In my case those muscles are the finger extensors on the top of the forearm, and the triceps located towards the back and side of the upper arm.

I don’t care which supplement is working.
[I have accidentally missed a dose 4 times in the past 84 days with no ill effects; I have been running a low grade fever for the last week about an hour after my midday dose; OK, fever isn’t one of the Googled side effects of too much
Levodopa
, but I took 2 NACs and my fever went away; you are not supposed

Does anyone here see decreases in tremors without using levodopa?
I'm just about to begin B1, and my only symptom is tremors, so I'd rather avoid
levodopa
unless it's needed. Should I start with B1 only and see what happens? Thanks

DO FISH LIKE LEVODOPA ?
Dissolved solids are more difficult to remove and the amount of my
Levodopa
in your drinking water and fish you ate for dinner is difficult to determine ,without expensive testing.

Concentration of levodopa in plasma vs time curves for Madopar 100/25 IR, Madopar 100/25 CR, and Madopar 50/12.5 dispersible
Hello, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find the above graphs. In case someone has them, I would be really grateful if they could share the data. A link to a peer-reviewed paper would be best. Thank you in advance. D.

park_bear made a very compelling argument for taking P5P (active B6)
I have read that only 5%(b) of
levodopa
before carbidopa was added makes it to your brain and after carbidopa only 44%(c). If you are going to neutralize the carbidopa in your system, it makes sense not to while you maybe don’t need extra dopamine in your brain.
