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.

Here are several different articles about prebiotic and probiotic(s) (possibly in combination with each other). And the final article relates to PwP oral infestation with gram negative bacteria and aspiration pneumonia. 1) Fenugreek as adjuvant therapy with L-dopa First of all, Fenugreek has been shown

5-HTP in patients not taking Sinemet can worsen symptoms of PD
According to The Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine 5-Hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-HTP) is beneficial only if used in combination with the drug Sinemet (a combination of l-dopa and decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa). Brain serotonin is decreased in PD, but reduction in dopamine receptors is more severe

Tired of not being hungry.
Does anyone have a trick for overcoming the total loss of appetite that I have as a side effect of the
levodopa
/carbidopa? I've lost 40 pounds but don't worry, I have a lot left to more than sustain me for quite some time. I just miss eating.

Levadopa "challenge" for CBD/PSP/Parkinson's?
Hi all, Did your neuro do a levadopa trial at any point in diagnosis? Did it always turn out that the l-dopa did not help if it was CBD or PSP? My husband is just starting a one-month trial where he takes increasing doses of levadopa every week for a month, to help determine if he has Parkinson's or

Is it true? Alcohol and/or Marijuana open BBB blood brain barrier?
Our nurse manager says alcohol (as does medical marijuana) opens the BBB (blood brain barrier) allowing
Levodopa
through for better effectiveness. One has to wonder: WHY don't doctors TELL US, so that we can use this to our ADVANTAGE??

Effect of Carbidopa/Levodopa on organs of the body
My husband takes 8-10 carbidopa/
levodopa
pills (25/250mg) He takes one every other hour. He can tell when they are wearing off (he used to take every 11/2 hour) He doesn't have any side effects except a LITTLE diskinisa.
