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.

Jelly loaded "nano gel" with mucuna
Jelly loaded "nano gel" with mucuna? "Natural L-dopa, M. pruriens seed extract and prepared a nanogel containing extract incorporated into a jelly formulation for use as a "functional food" in elderly Parkinson's disease. Maybe for other PD meds too? https://twitter.com/MichaelOkun/status/1531274710591451138

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.

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.

News that worried us and studies that gave us hope (04/2022).
By administering sustained-release vitamins B6, B9 and B12, it would be possible for glutathione and vitamin B6 to be administered without interfering with
levodopa
(Lewis 2002).

Titrating down on Sinemet experience
I wasn't sure if those bouts of stiffness were too much, or not enough
Levodopa
. I was hoping it was too much..... I began titrating down ½ pill at a time for months noticing improvement when I took the equivalent of 2 pills per day rather than 3.

Levadopa
I'm impressed that researchers can keep a dangerous drug like
levodopa
as the leading treatment for Parkinson's for so long!!!

From regenerative strategies to pharmacological approaches: can we fine-tune treatment for Parkinson's disease? (Starting my NAC again!)2022
Current treatment is focused on mitigating the symptoms through the administration of
levodopa
, rather than on preventing dopaminergic neuronal damage.

PwP, Glaucoma and Citicoline
Citicoline allowed effective reduction of
levodopa
by up to 50%. Significant improvement in cognitive status evaluation was also noted with citicoline adjunctive therapy. Implications Citicoline adjuvant therapy has beneficial effects as an adjuvant therapy in patients with PD.'

The end of Parkinson's as we know it today. From the Levodopa era to the "transformative" information era.
1. History and Time. As a vocational and professional historian, I have contemplated the world of Parkinson's for many years. The changes over time in the way the disease is viewed, the possible treatments and everything that makes up the world of Parkinson's (multinationals, neurologists, associations

Should I get BOTOX shot in my feet for PD feet/toes curling?
I take 9-10 tablets of Carbidopa/
Levodopa
25/100 every day to manage, My Movement Disorders Specialist/Doctor suggested botox years ago but I have resisted due to my fear of botox circulating in my body. Has anyone tried this intervention?

Dehydroascorbic acid: Could orange juice oxidised in the fridge overnight be an important weapon against Parkinson's?
In addition, vitamin C protects the dopamine-producing areas from the oxidised remnants of the drug
levodopa
and the mitochondria, which generate a lot of oxidation in energy production. Without sufficient glutathione, this does not seem possible.
