Help with research... identifying the cause of orthostatic hypotension & autonomic dysfunction
I know there are a select number of decent researchers on this site.... those who read their fair share of medical papers and journal publications. I need some help with research...I simply don't have time to read everything on my own. The problem I'm interested in needs to be tackled because it very

So if you want to hear the inside story of anticholinergics, amantadine,
levodopa
, mucuna pruriens, Benadryl, etc, etc, etc....this is for you. If you are only interested in specific topics do not despair.

Need Advise
And finally, I'm told that the carbidopa in the carbidopa-Levadopa prescription keeps the
levodopa
from breaking down before it has a chance to reach the blood brain barrier. They say that Macuna has nothing in it that does that and therefore is a waste of money. Any thoughts?

L Tyrosine may be helpful
My next attempt at relief is to try L Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that is the precursor of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Tyrosine is converted into Levodihydrophenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-Dopa is subsequently and avidly converted into dopamine. More on the subject here:https://clinicaltrials.gov

reducing usage of MP (mucuna pruriens)
Is it the summer heat causing reduced need for
levodopa
or improvement because of the Silvestrov protocol? My changes to Silvestrov's protocol are few, for example, I also use some GABA-plex in the AM (contains NAC and L-tyrosine).

Peppers, tremor, KIKO1580
Actually some of the time I take the bite of a hot pepper before I ingest my
levodopa
and after biting into the pepper that alone helps a bit and I can put off the
levodopa
for quite awhile. I don't usually but I could.

Possible adverse reaction to a new generic brand of carbidopa/levodopa. Has anyone else experienced this?
My questions are: have any of you taken the Sun Pharma carbidopa/
levodopa
generic pill and, if so, did you have any adverse reaction to it? Also, does anyone have an opinion as to the best carbidopa/
levodopa
generic brand available in the U.S.? Thank you.

Mucuna Prereins
Hi I was diagnosed with PD seven years ago my neurologist has me on Sinemet100 mg tablet 3 to 4 times a day, sifrol er x 1 and Azilect x 1. Last week I started using mucuna prereins (MP) It's much more effective and lasts longer. I got my m/p from China and its 98% l dopa. I've stopped taking

If Mucana is only Levadopa - then where is carbidopa coming from ? Also any one tried using light therapy . PLEASE LET ME KNOW .
What do folks take with mucana to make it a
levodopa
plus carbidopa . I read about tyrosine / 5 htp . Years ago when I was insomniac due to depression- 50mg of 5htp worked good for me . I can add these but do they interact with any meds > She is taking sinemet, Mirapex, meds for throid etc .

RLS ? Magnesium
I saw a neuro doc about 16 years ago, who had me on Dopamine /
levodopa
. After reading about the side effects of the drugs, I stopped using them and decided to live with the condition. However a year on, I had some treatment done called N.O.T ( Neurological organisational technique).

Levodopa and Mucuna Purins
If you take both, are you simply doubling the amount of
Levodopa
going into your body? I understand that taking too much meds can be as bad as taking too little. Also, does MP wear off over the years until it has no more effect?

I've defeated my loss of levodopa benefit that happens after eating protein
But pretty soon I realized taking the green tea extract and some C was all that was needed to get the
levodopa
back to flowing across the BBB, easing my tremor. I was back to walking good and that dose of MP kept working for over 3 hours. Yay!

My Experience with Wisdom Healing Qigong
[Update Dec. 2021: My total daily dosage varies between 250 – 300 milligrams of
levodopa
daily]. My left arm has tremor sometimes, but not the restless discomfort I had experienced before. I did experiment with no Sinemet at all.
