Finding some negatives on Berberine (I will keep digging)
EDIT March 17, 2024:
Today somebody shared a link to a two year old post of mine about a report on Berberine being neurotoxic and taking it off of my stack. Within a few months I found other information on Berberine and, using my High School educated brain, decided that Berberine definitely needed

Phosphodiesterase 9 inhibition prolongs the antiparkinsonian action of l-DOPA in parkinsonian non-human primates
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35461880/ These results indicate that cGMP upregulation interacts with dopamine signaling to enhance the l-DOPA reversal of parkinsonian motor disability. Therefore, striatal PDE9 inhibition may be further explored as a strategy to improve motor responses to l-DOPA in

My Liver on Kratom....
I was on DAs (carbidopa-
levodopa
, pramipexole) for about 35 years until finally augmenting on prami about a year ago (2021). I've spent countless hours researching over the years and have tried every diet, supplement, or treatment that you can think of.

Sudden loss of ability to move?
He's been labeled "Possible CBD" because he didn't respond to
levodopa
like a normal Parkinson's patient. But does this sound more like PSP? Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Any advice about weaning off of levodopa and starting amantadine.
I have developed dyskinesia and doctors tried reducing
levodopa
thinking I was getting too much but dyskinesia persisted.

How do you deal with central pain syndrome?
It sometimes runs from my brain to the bottom of my foot running on a straight line through my weak side reaching even my genitals (i know this is intimate but i think is relevant) it feels like an all body tooth sensitivity and yes
levodopa
seems to dull it a bit but the moment im off the pain is there

Q10 1200mg for PSP?
My mother in law was diagnosed PSP 1 year ago and she is not responsive to
Levodopa
med. Dr. says only option is management. I read about Q10 1200 mg recommended for PSP as adjunct treatment. Does anyone have experience with Q10? Her doctor said she has no experience with Q10.

Discovery of levodopa-induced dyskinesia-associated genes using genomic studies in patients and Drosophila behavioral analyses
Similar to the therapeutic effect of Ldopa in patients, acute Ldopa treatment restore the motor defect of Parkinsons flies, while prolonged treatments cause LID-related symptoms, such as increased yawing, freezing & abrupt acceleration of locomotives

Levodopa
has stopped working after only 3 months, I was only allowed minimum dose, so the much hated jerking has returned, plus the weird walking. No suggestion how to improve slow speech or loss of fine motor skills.
