Recent study on Levodopa
Only one medication has demonstrated improvement in dyskinesia in
levodopa
-treated PD patients; however, every patient cannot tolerate it and therefore adjunctive therapy should be tailored to an individual’s symptoms and risk for specific adverse effects.

Dietary Approaches to Improve Efficacy and Control Side Effects of Levodopa Therapy in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review
I was surprised to find one of the ingredients was listed as a major contraindication with
levodopa
. L-Phenylalanine. Dug a little deeper and it related to protein and impact on
levodopa
. Found an interesting article on nutrition and PD too.

Cellulose breakdown, pill effectiveness, and gut bacteria
I've been thinking about controlled release
levodopa
, and how it hasn't worked for me, but works for others. Maybe my gut bacteria is different? This article discusses the findings that some people have lost the ability to break down cellulose in the gut. Many fillers these days are cellulose.

Carbidopa/Levodopa??
I have always taken Carbidopa/
Levodopa
for my RLS. I have always been told it is usually given to Parkinson’s patients but I don’t have Parkinson’s. Anyone else take it?

Combined with taking very low doses of

Oral
levodopa
is a building block from which dopamine is formed in the body. It is usually used with carbidopa, which stops the body from breaking down
levodopa
, so that more is available to form dopamine.

Levodopa just for exercise?
Is anyone on or know of anyone that's on
levodopa
just for exercise and not on it the rest of the time? I'm on neupro which has helped live a regular daily life but still very dystonic and stiff for full on exercise and wondering if I could get a temporary boost to get through full on exercise?

If no, it indicates that
levodopa
somehow damages the brain

One person’s 10 year journey of taking Levodopa. How the amount has increased, the change in dosing intervals and how they manage it.
This video is a really great honest and open account of someone’s experience in taking
Levodopa
. Well worth viewing for anyone taking the drug or thinking of taking it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL-86-dZDi4
