Lactobacillus and Levodopa
Has anyone seen the uTube video re the Gastro Intestinal doctor who advised against taking probiotics because of the adverse action of lactobacillus on
Levodopa
? I saw it recently and can't find it now - I am interested in reading further about the lactobacillus impact on
Levodopa
.

Therapulse - getting started
I've just bought a Therapulse in the hopes of getting some relief from my "Intractable" RLS which can occur at any time of the day or night and can last for as long as 5 hours. I take slow release co-careldopa every 4 hours. Lots of people have found it works but what I can't work out is:- * do I

When Anxiety Strikes
For instance, panic attacks almost always occur during an off period, when
levodopa
has worn off and symptoms may not be well controlled.

Pain, Stenosis, C/L and Parkinson
I am taking generic Caridopa /
Levodopa
2 tabs 100/25 every 4 hours Taking a C/L tablet help relieve pain for 3-4 hours. I'm wondering which of these two paths seems to be more accurate?

GABA and PD
The effect of
levodopa
on freezing of gait may explain why the correlations between basal ganglia GABA levels and the gait and axial symptom summary scores diminished in significance after controlling for the
levodopa
equivalent dose, particularly in akinetic-rigid patients.

Is anyone concerned about aspartame in the carbidopa-levodopa?
Is there a form of Carbidopa
levodopa
that does not have aspartame in it?

Post Transplant Issues
Is there anyone out there who is on both anti-rejection drugs and carbidopa/
levodopa
. I have been struggling to feel better for 17+ months. I get so agitated and my quality of life just isn’t there.

Getting the Most Out of Medications
. •
Levodopa
generally works best on an empty stomach, so aim to take your meds around a half hour before your meals, or at least an hour after.

Has anyone taken Paxlovid and PD Meds?
I may have been exposed to COVID and can’t find anything specific about interactions between Paxlovid and Carbidopa/
levodopa
(sinemet). I’m not sure I will take it even if I do come down with COVID, but I’m trying to be proactive.

Question about levodopa/carbidopa
If I no had response to
levodopa
for my tremor, I wonder if then I can stop L/C without risks and coming back using only mucuna. Thank you for your help, any advice is appreciated.

Rytary in Canada?
I googled it online, apparently Rytary could last 4-6 hours, and because it can keep the
levodopa
level relatively stable, it may improve dyskinesia. This can greatly improve quality of life for many Canadians suffering from PD.

Maybe why we wait for a cure
The medical associations ,colleges and universities around the world at various times had generally agreed on protocols for treating Parkinson's in the 1950's and 60's. 1/ Alcohol, and antihistamine, and other things had been used to treat PD before

Gut bacterial tyrosine decarboxylases restrict levels of levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
This implies that TDC activity of the gut microbiota might interfere with
levodopa
/decarboxylase inhibitor availability, thus the treatment of PD patients.”
