Stop B6
"This because vitamin B6 is a facilitator of the peripheral decarboxylase and in PwP may interfere with the amount of L-dopa that reaches the brain and thus worsen the symptoms".

Tried most everything
Now I take Ropinirole (Requip),Carbidopa
levodopa
, and clonazepam. I suffer beyond belief but have found some relief in the Relaxis pad. I have had it for some time but was never consistent in using it.

Aldehydes and thiamine and Candida
Are aldehydes depleting your b1? An interesting theory: http://www.outthinkingparkinsons.com/articles/dopamine-aldehyde http://drhoustonanderson.com/sensitive-noses-aldehyde-sniff-test/ Candida produces aldehydes, and Candida overgrowth can be caused by steroid injections for hayfever, asthma inhalers

CBD--questions about Thiamine/B1 & Levodopa. . and what we could try?
He also said that even if the
levodopa
trial worked, he liked to start people on Dopamine Agonists (ropinirole, pramipexole etc.) first instead and save the
levodopa
for later. He didn't seem to think that exercise was a big helper with CBD (which concerns me).

Dietary method for reducing fluctuations in PD (1987)
Motor fluctuations and non-response to carbidopa-
levodopa
(Sinemet) therapy are major problems in the long-term management of Parkinson's disease.
Levodopa
manipulation, addition of adjuvants, and drug holidays are often unsuccessful.

Here is what Dr. Costantini Prescribed based on my weight / height / meds... if anyone finds this helpful
If there is a need we will see for
levodopa
. It is now well established that it is not the duration of treatment that gives late complications, but the fact that neurodegeneration progresses.

Frequent urination, every 20 minutes
The only differences in my husband's week is the reduction of the trial
levodopa
dose, and his starting the Parkinson's gym workout. Any advice? This kind of symptom is a game-changer.

Carbidopa Levodopa absorption may be delayed by eating fiber with dose. Would delays cause bigger problems with Continuous Release?
Have been researching Carbidopa
levodopa
and found reference to other meds , supplements, vitamins, DELAYING the release of meds, especially those with fluctuating blood pressure or constipation. Switching to extended release without knowing that led me to increase dose with IR bridge.

Relationship Between Levodopa and Dyskinesias and How Thiamine Can Help
I think the main concern for everybody with PD is to know the truth about relationship between long-term use of
Levodopa
and Dyskinesias and how Thiamine protocol can help. Dr Costantini has told me that people who are taking Sinemet with Thiamine WILL NOT develop Dyskinesia even in long-term use.

New study; "...52% of people who had ever taken dopamine agonists developed an impulse control disorder..." 6/21/18 journal Neurology
"Many Parkinson’s drugs — particularly dopamine agonists and, in some cases,
levodopa
— have been linked to these types of behaviour.

Some questions for everyone.
When i take carbidopa-
levodopa
alone at about the 3 hour point it starts to fade and my hands, feet,arms,legs start hurting. My legs get weak and i sometimes get depressed and i just feel like the world fell on me. I sweat on my back and my legs i have hot flashes.

Quercetin/Bromelain & EGCG as Carbidopa and Encatapone substitutes?
Has anyone had any luck with this as a protocol suggested on this site? My husband takes Mucuna L-dopa 98% and was looking for something that he hoped would help the effects last longer than 2.5-3hrs (occasionally longer, when taken on an almost empty stomach). We haven't seen any difference as yet and
