Syncope, orthostatic hypotension, levodopa.
Commonly used vasodilator drugs include
levodopa
for Parkinson’s disease... Some individuals with NOH may also have high blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension). Supine hypertension complicates treatment options for affected individuals.

Levodopa and gastric emptying
The results indicate that
levodopa
inhibits gastric emptying and thus influences its own absorption. Temporary inhibition of gastric emptying by
levodopa
(or a metabolite) is the cause of the multiple plasma peaks commonly observed following oral
levodopa
.

Sinemet: factors affecting variability - gastric emptying
Higher
levodopa
and carbidopa concentrations were reached when the LC-CR was taken 1 h before the meal, but the plasma level profile for
levodopa
was flatter in the non-fasted state. The area under the curve for
levodopa
was slightly higher in the fasted condition.

We went back to the doctor each time he went into this syndrome and finally the doctor consulted with our neurologist who immediately said get him back on his
levodopa
/ carbidopa 6 a day!! We did that and he’s back to what we consider himself!!

Low Dose Naltrexone
This particular interview is of interest because it addresses ICDs, which may help those who are experiencing compulsive behaviours as a result of a dopamine agonist or
levodopa
. It may also help with, inter alia, anxiety, depression, sleep and opioid abuse.

Double Trouble?
Does the PD meds (
levodopa
carbedopa) hurt my liver? I still strive to be active and happy. Life is to short to be stressing, at 60 years old.

Mucuna Pruriens-Varying Amounts of L-dopa Confusing
I bought mucuna Kapikakacchu powder first and have no idea the content of L-dopa but it works. I took 1 tbsp. 2x a day. The whole powder doesn't seem as smooth when I come off of it but is supposed to have beneficial ingredients. Just not sure how much to take but once a day to replace another dose of

In our patients who started thiamine treatment, even after 10 years of
levodopa
treatment, with the addition of thiamine, no symptoms related to late complications of
levodopa
have ever occurred. Thiamine is effective in reducing the intensity of late complications from
levodopa
.

Confused and floundering!
Hi I've just been reading some posts and am amazed at all the knowledge and suggestions you all offer. I was diagnosed 16 months ago. Sort of. Parkinsons or Peroxetine induced parkinsonism. I saw a consultant last October who wants to see me again this October. A year? I don't really know who I should

My shipment of natural sourced
levodopa

levodopa
. I drove to a restaurant and place an order and then realized I didn’t have my wallet .

Nicotine anyone still using it for PD?
Reading the current link "nicotine-reduces-
levodopa
-induced-dyskinesias-in-lesioned-monkeys' Made me think does anybody still use nicotine patches, gum or vaping to try and slow progression of their PD.
