Taper off Sinement prior to DaTsacan?
Has anyone heard of tapering off Sinemet (Carbidopa /
Levodopa
) prior to taking a DaTscan? I can’t find anything in the documentation that says this is necessary however I have conflicting information from 2 Neurologists one saying I need too the other that says it is not necessary.

Pramipexole
Now I'm Using Madopar (
Levodopa
+Benserazide)250Mg every 3 hours and Amantadine 100 capsules, 2 times daily Vit B1 300Mg once daily and vit D3 50000 once a week. No Pramipexole anymore. It made me so weak.

Spoilt for Choice?
It seems there are neurologist prescribed meds such as
levodopa
, azilect and agonists. Then there are supplements, natural remedies: Mucuna – a dopamine supplement Anti-oxidants – teas, berries, etc Nicotine – supposed to be neuro-protective.

Mucuna
I just tried Mucuna pills for the last month from Switzerland (2 a day) plus 3
levodopa
100mg but have not found an improvement, on the contrary. I will switch over to the Mucuna powder form I just ordered from India. Has anybody any experience with Mucuna? Thank you for sharing.

Greetings
She has many of the symptoms other than the tremors the neurologist started her on
levodopa
three times a day. Her Neurolog I st said if her symptoms get better then it would tell us that she does have PD. My mom doesn't like taking the pill because she says that it makes her feel weaker.

new treatment
Opicapone works by restoring the levels of dopamine in the brain, which controls movement and coordination; it also enhances the effects of
levodopa
, which helps with movement.

Cello playing
It was a passing interest. I learned the Bach prelude. I'm retired, 65. I've had this pd for years I think. I can't attack properly. It gives me a sick feeling across my chest when I try to bow convincingly. diagnosed in June because of my posture. it's frightening me. I don't think Ropinarol 8mg does

Xadago Video shows how it works in detail
Watch this video and see all of the amazing benefits of this drug for PD. It works by three different mechanism's and is by far the most advanced drug out there for PD. It works in combination with L-Dopa therapy. https://vimeo.com/116166647 One thing I like about it is that it suppresses glutamate

Turns out I do have peripheral neuropathy, no doubt as a result of my long-term use of carbidopa/ levodopa
I mentioned in an earlier post that I suspected peripheral neuropathy might be contributing to my problems with gait and balance. My neurologist confirmed that tests showed I have PN and, as is often the case, a vitamin B-12 deficiency. For full report see http://parkinsonsand5htp.blogspot.com/2016/

European Parkinsons Therapy Centre ,Boario Terme Italy
Thanks to my wife's research we found the centre and decided that before I went down that road ,would like to see if I could improve my symptoms without
levodopa
and I am so glad I did. Over the week I have been empowered to be in control of PD not PD be in control of me .

Medicine kicking in late and wearing off early
Presently I am taking Carbadopa/
Levodopa
25/100MG Tab 4 times a day; Trihexyphenidyl Tab 2MG 4 times a day; and Azilect 1MG once a day. My biggest problem lately are the drugs kicking in late and also wearing off early. This is my first post ever. I am curious what other PD folks are experiencing.
