Excess Vit. B
We all know that vit.B6 negatively interferes with the proper functioning of
Levodopa
, so it is necessary for me to drastically reduce the B6 level. I have a fairly controlled diet without excesses so it's difficult for me to know to move.

Vitamin B6 Toxicity: Available Testing of B6 Plasma Level Does NOT Tell You What You Need to Know
People taking
levodopa
medication need to supplement because it depletes B6. Running out of B6 has dire consequences.

Can we boost Carbidopa/Levodopa results with lemons?
Whole Lemon might help Carbidopa/
Levodopa
work better plus many other health benefits. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8200147/ https://youtu.be/LSwP5eMS1Uo?si=raYOOsbeZ-GOY7p3

Laurie Mischley on Using High DHA Fish Oil to Reduce Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia (Updated)
So if you can kind of hit your dopamine augmentation goals by things other than
levodopa
. I also think that that really helps not get as much dyskinesia as people used to get."

This is a follow-up question to my earlier post of a couple of days ago concerning HBOT as adjunctive therapy for parkinson's disease.
PWP KNOW VERY WELL what happens if you inadvertently miss a dose of
Levodopa
or you are late taking your dose. I went from 2400 mg
levodopa
daily to 800 mg, one day 400 mg!! Let me add, my longest time between doses that I recorded was 15 hours!!! Are PD placebo effects that strong?

Trihexyphenidyl
My tremor isn’t fully stopped by
levodopa
, and he said this would be good for me. Also saying that a tremor dominant presentation has a good prognosis long term, and this may improve my memory by allowing me to pay attention more because the tremor will be gone.

Vitamin B2 Deficiency Can Cause B6 Toxicity! PWP Are Commonly Deficient In B2.
However, for people with Parkinson's,
levodopa
medication takes B6 out of circulation and supplementation becomes necessary. B6 deficiency can result in peripheral neuropathy, and if it remains untreated, intractable epileptic seizures and Parkinson's progression.

Won't those help to maintain same levels of
Levodopa

Solving Restless Legs
These drugs — dopamine agonists such as
levodopa
and pramipexole — can also potentially cause drug dependence, Berkowski said.

Parkinson’s stategy: Embracing Hiking

levodopa
medication.

Sleep for Pain relief
Levodopa
does a good job of relieving the situation but I can also get relief by sleeping. Overnight is fair enough because you expect systems to repair and renew and tine for dopamine stores to build. But for me, even a 15 minute nap can be enough. Why?

Levodopa Phobia’: a review of a not uncommon and consequential phenomenon

Riboflavin (b2) supplementation is a no-brainer for Parkinsons
I’m back to my starting dose of
levodopa
. The real change other than the riboflavin is the Sauna/cold plunge/ Wim Hof/ fasting. I copied and pasted some important information that I’ve written previously about B2 /MTHFR. I believe a low b2 levels caused a ton of my issues.

special events
Curious about whether or not topping up
Levodopa
to avoid off times for special occasions is a thing? Heard Michael J Fox does it. Would guess you’d have try it few times to see if it works. Any experience with this?

Can Caridopa/Levodopa reduce pain?
Is it possible for a Caridopa/
Levodopa
tablet to relieve pain for a period of time? I have found that taking a C/L tablet can help relieve pain for 3-4 hours. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
