levodopa + fish oil + CDP Choline + vit C by Dr. Mischley
Mischley to reduce risk of dyskinesia from
levodopa
and possibly reduce the dosage of
levodopa
by 30-50 % over time. 2 capsules 2x/day or 1 cap 4x/day since taking it with c/l may make the
levodopa
effect last longer.

Greetings, I am new here. I wish everyone health and patience during this challenging time.
I am 66 and trying to explore options for a monotherapy. My question is: What kind of medications did you use during the early stages of PD and how long were you able to stick with them before you started taking L-Dopa? Thank you for your kind answers.

How much sinemet
And I'm on
levodopa
. Last week he upped me to 4 Sinemet out of 250. Now I'm noticing that Sinemet lasts less time, which causes the damn dystonia to start. It also continues to decrease strength, balance and endurance.

Aromatic L‐Amino Acid Decarboxylase Gene Therapy Enhances Levodopa Response in Parkinson's Disease
Of the 15 Parkinsons participants in the PD‐1101 clinical trial (evaluating Gene therapy candidate VY‐AADC01), 13 participated in a substudy aimed at determining timing & magnitude of motor response to intravenous
levodopa
. Results: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mds.27993

Mucuna sinemet equivalent?
Based on my understanding, 1 tablet 200/50 sinemet = 200mg synthetic
levodopa
= 6 teaspoons of mucuna = 1000mg mucuna
levodopa
= 16.5 capsules of 15% mucuna extract Please see attached screenshot from Dr. Rafael Gonzalez's paper.

Carbidopa in Sinemet very harmful.
I recently ran across a research study on the serious damage done by the carbidopa in Sinemet (generic = carbidopa
levodopa
).

Promising drug could treat debilitating movement problems in people with Parkinson's
The results showed that NLX-112 successfully reduced dyskinesia and crucially, did not significantly reduce the effectiveness of
levodopa
, which many other similar drugs do. When NLX-112 was used on its own (without
levodopa
), it again improved movement problems.

Is anyone elses hand functionally directly related to taking Sinemet (Kinson) and/or is anyone taking 12 or more tablets per day?
I wouldn’t describe the calves as reactive to
levodopa
in the same way as my hands. 6. I try to do 30 minutes of intense cardio each day 7. I take 2x magnesium l-threonate per day 8.

Grapefruit update?
A few months ago there were various posts and some suggestion that inhibiting CYP3A4 using Grapefruit juice, could prolong
levodopa
“on time “. What happened to that idea? Is there any update I might have missed?

relationship between diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's disease. Reuven Sandyk.
In the present communication, I propose that in Parkinson's disease diabetes may exacerbate the severity of the motor disability and attenuate the therapeutic efficacy of
levodopa
or other dopaminergic agents as well as increase the risk of
levodopa
-induced motor dyskinesias.

Levodopa-Induced Euphoria and Addictions in Parkinson’s. It's of concern for people with neuropsychiatric fluctuations between ON and OFF.
Some people have more significant neuropsychiatric fluctuations between ON and OFF
levodopa
drug treatment states. These people seem to be more at risk for triggered addictive behavior and drug abuse.
