Can NOW's Dopa Mucuna substitute for Carb/Levo 25-100MG-100MG Tab? Concerned about Sinemet's future effects ...
First I want to thank the members here for the warm welcome to the group. It means a lot with everyone friendly & smart. Second: my partner and I prefer a natural product over a chemical one, are concerned about Sinemet's future effect on me, etc. We were hoping to substitute Carb/Levo 25mg-100mg tab

Joint pain with levodopa (carbidopa-levodopa) increasing dose? Is it a side effect?
My husband is in the one-month trial of weekly increasing
levodopa
doses, and suddenly his knee hurts really badly. Could this be a side effect of the
levodopa
? He's only on the second week, the second increase of the dosage (25/100), four times a day, this week.

Stalevo vs mucuna pruriens
Yesterday I went to my doctor with a question: Can I replace stalevo with mucuna pruriens, on the grounds that the first is a chemical drug whereas the second is a natural plant extract. She said NO, because 1) You cannot control the amount of l-dopa contained in each mucuna capsule, so there is a chance

Update on Hinz Protocol
I did feel that her gait improved substantially with the introduction of Mucuna (the more natural form of
Levodopa
), but exercise was also increased at this time too.

Azilect
My
levodopa
meds have not changed. Have others experienced sleepiness as a side effect of Azilect? Did it pass? I often doze, but have not slept deeply in the daytime before.

Back Pain associated with PD
This seems to be worse since my neurologist increased my carbidopa
levodopa
to 2 pills (25-100) 4 times a day. Can this be the problem?

Parkinson’s disease tremors and serotonin
The predominant serotonin deficiency in patients with prominent rest tremor may also explain why such tremors disappear during sleep and why they are often less responsive to
levodopa
than other cardinal features such as bradykinesia or rigidity.

Sinemet MG Conversion to Zandopa MG Conversion to Madopar. Synergy between Mucuna Pruriens & Withania somnifera. B12/thiamne thoughts...
I recommend larger dose of B12 for many reasons and this one is central to my thoughts: Modest increase in plasma homocysteine follows
levodopa
initiation in Parkinson's disease. "
Levodopa
elevates tHcy and lowers vitamin B12 concentration to modest degrees."

Restless arms
I'm on carbidopa
levodopa
50 12.5. Rasagiline 1mg. I've been taking 200mg daily tramadol for back pain but tried leaving it out because of constipation. Developed severe akathesia of my arms at night. I suppose it serves me right for taking tramadol. Maybe if I stick it out I'll recover.

Parkinson’s Disease copy/paste fromThe Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine
Food Source of
Levodopa
● Broad beans: give PD patients improved symptom control. Response to Vicia faba (fava beans) may be even greater than to
levodopa
medication. Fava beans contain
levodopa
: 100-g serving of V. faba pods contains 250 mg
levodopa
, equal to
levodopa
in one drug formulation.

Big Pharma conspiracy theory
The current work revolves around a 100 year drug
Levodopa
. Many new
levodopa
formulations are expected to enter the market by 2021, each designed to improve off-episodes in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients by providing continuous drug administration.
