In 2018 the labeling of Sinemet recommends not exceeding a
levodopa
total daily dose of 2,000 mg per day. As movement disorder specialists, general neurologists and primary care doctors have learned, many people with Parkinson’s can easily tolerate the higher doses used to minimize symptoms.

levodopa

PTT FUS 4 months later
All this issues are more noticeable when
levodopa
wears off, close to normal on
levodopa
peak. Prof. J. told me those will get better over time. Back to work at about 80%, but previous 2 weeks at about 120%.

Is Carbidopa/Levodopa 8x’s a day to much when you have the DBS?
My setting is on 3.30 left side, 1.00 right side. My doctor seems to give me more medicine instead of turning it up and I feel like it is causing a lot more symptoms.

Levodopa =? Dyskinesia
Besides
levodopa
I take 2g of B1 HLC daily. I live quite an active farmer life and constantly involved into some sort of physical activity.

Dyskinesia
Theory...
Levodopa
is active for two hours. After which your body is free of
levodopa
resulting low risk of dyskinesia. One takes 100mg per dose. 8 doses per day. Or One takes 400mg per dose 2 doses per day. Each provide 800mg total per day.

What I learned only now after ten years.
Ref:
Levodopa
, the “bible”. “The New Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Book” Dr. Eric Ahlskog, Chair of Movement Disorders Mayo Clinic. I learned I must determine the optimum dose. What helps reduce symptoms. Thereafter I determine how far apart to space each dose without overlapping. Emphasis on I.

Mucuna pruriens in Parkinson’s and in some other diseases: recent advancement and future prospective
Mucuna pruriens may be more than just an l-dopa substitute? Maybe anti-inflammatory? Has anybody seen this? I have REMSBD so I'm working on slowing things down (or better, of course): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13205-020-02532-7 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33194526/

example: High Dose Levodopa and Sleep
Restated, this should be the Carbidopa/
Levodopa
dose identified as optimal; the sleep benefit requires a full dose. Another dose may be taken upon awakening in the middle of the night, if necessary to sustain sleep.” Full optimal dose, two 100 mg tablets for a total of 200 mg.

When to increase dosage of Carbidopa/Levodopa
Neurologist said well you can up your dosage of Carbidopa/
Levodopa
- do you want to do that? We both just looked at him and said no. With that he said see you in 6 months. I certainly could have called office or written a message to the doctor with questions via the portal. 1.
