Coronet Duo (Red Light) Success?
However, I posed the same question to my Parkinson’s nurse who basically said that approximately five hours after a dose of immediate release carbidopa
levodopa
there is a "wearing off" and there is no further benefit.

Aucune amélioration après prise Lévodopa
Bonjour, Je me permets de venir vers vous non pas pour une consultation mais pour savoir si vous avez une explication. En effet mon mari (bientôt 64 ans)qui a été diagnostiqué il y a environ 2 ans n’avait pas encore commencé à prendre le traitement allopathique du neurologue. Il prend la thiamine B1

Combining Different Ideas About PD Can Be Enlightening
Berberine interacts with the gut biome to produce more
levodopa
which then goes to the brain to be converted to dopamine. Cinnamon also has positive effects on the gut microbiota. I could go on, but I think you have the general idea.

Mexidol
[Mexidol potentiates antiparkinsonian effect of L-DOPA in MPTP-induced parkinsonism model] Has anyone taken Mexidol and if so did it help you in anyway? I have read mixes reviews. Thank you.

Scheduling meals around taking Carbidopa/Levodopa medication
Recently with my Doctor's approval, I increased my Carbopa/
Levodopa
25 dosage from 3 times a day to 4 times a day. The increase has made a difference. I still have difficulty scheduling dinner. How have others managed to take this medication with the meal time restrictions? Thank you.

Any history with customers with PD med's - Generic Name: carbidopa and
levodopa
( KAR bi DOE pa and LEE voe DOE pa) Brand Name: Rytary, Sinemet, Sinemet CR 3. Potential side effects....I realize the ingredients are natural, the combination could interact with the above medications.

Please advise!
Since I only started my meds three weeks ago she commented that I had not yet reached a therapeutic dose so I wouldn't be getting any benefit from the
levodopa
as yet. She also insisted that I take my meds at exactly the same time each day. So I have to be patient by the looks of it.

Levodopa dosing carried into nighttime
Going without at night doesn’t work for me. How do others dose at night?

Symptom Sorter?
(25/100carb/
levodopa
), and hypertension (5mg amlodipine) The neurologist has a question mark over the PD so I was wondering whether any of the following symptoms are not PD?

We need to move more quickly to focused ultrasound (FUS)
About half a century ago, the merrRAdical profession established carbidopa/
levodopa
as the standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease; and it has been so ever since. But replacing dopamine is not a cure, does not always work, and can lose effectiveness over time.

CiteEffects of Helicobacter pylori on Levodopa Pharmacokinetics
Eradication of the infection improves
levodopa
response in Parkinson’s disease, likely as a consequence of an increased oral pre-systemic bioavailability of
levodopa
, likely to be explained by reduced Helicobacter-dependent
levodopa
consumption in the stomach.

This works for me.
I have raised my carbidopa
levodopa
to 1,400mg total a day. I was diagnosed, 2012. Four years ago I was Stage 3 - 4, going down hill fast. THREE years ago I was "blessed" by Doctor Costantini. Presently Stage 1--2.
