01/11/2020 neurologist appointment
In my case that is carbidopa
levodopa
. Increased, for effort to control tremor, my CL dose interval to two hours. Doc.- “...we might be able to consolidate those doses into a longer acting form such as Inbrija...” Doctor doesn’t appreciate extended release 50/200 extended release CL.

Do your feet get cold after eating...sugar?
In an attempt to reduce protein and fat interactions with
levodopa
absorption, I increased carbohydrates. What i thought was
levodopa
wearing off, turned out to be poly neuropathy aggravated by increased blood sugar.

Any info on RLS and Chronic Kidney Disease?
A doctor prescribed
Levodopa
, then Ropinole, then Mirapex (1.5mg) which I have taken for 15 years. The impulse control issues of the dopamine agonist combined with the head injuries were problematic and have resulted in maxed-out credit cards, loss of jobs and hypersexuality.

RLS for over 20 yrs
I take CARBIDOPA-
LEVODOPA
2tbs( 25/100 ) 3 x times a day. during the day. I wonder if I am on to much medication? I am basically managing the symptoms with this dosing , but if I miss a dose by an hour or so..it hits me hard and it takes longer for the next dose to help.

Tremor Hell
I just did a trial of a new med called, Inbrija 42mg Inhailer powder form of carbidopa
levodopa
. Didn't help. It created unwanted side effects. I guess I will continue on with my Carbidopa
Levodopa
25/250mgs. Several times per day. This is pure hell.

Wiki on dopamine
Organic Chemical Dopamine is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families. It functions both as a hormone and a neurotransmitter, and plays several important roles in the brain and body. It is an amine synthesized by removing a carboxyl group from a molecule of its precursor

Xadago (safinamide)
My neurologist recently prescribed this drug, in addition to my ongoing
levodopa
(825 to 925 mg per day). This has lead to the elimination of off times and I have been able to reduce my
levodopa
, currently to 625 to 725mg per day. I believe I may be able to achieve further reductions.

Sublingual B1
I have added comments to other posts but not written specifically on the subject of taking B1 sublingually, so, as I had received questions on the subject, I thought I would write a post. In 2017 when I first read about Dr C it was in connection with treating Parkinson with injections of B1. Injections

EYE SPECIALIST FOR DIAGNOSIS?
I started taking
levodopa
over a year ago and have good results for 4 hours. Then it's back to axial stiffness esp. in my head and neck but can make walking slow.

Can L-tyrosine replace L-dopa?
I tried it yesterday evening and it would seem that it does so to a small extent. Has anyone tried it?

Suggestions on this mucuna dosage calculation
The neurologist suggested I start with 1/2 tablet of 25/100 MG carbidopa
levodopa
. I prefer to try mucuna first. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0191ITEN0 It comes with a scoop. The description says one scoop is 3000 mg.

Fox's PDIQ + YOU Conference in Phoenix . . .
Where were the DBS Manufacturers and what about Duopa (
Levodopa
pump) at this conference.? Is there therapy after oral medications flame out ? I heard from one person Fox didn't invite them.. Anyone know more? Otherwise, every vendor in the universe seemed to be there.

Is it safe to increase dose of Co-Careldopa?
I have been on 25mg/100mg Co-Careldopa, three times a day at 8am, 2pm and 7pm since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's last June. The medication was effective in restoring my walking (dragging left foot), reducing tremor in my left wrist and hand, and restoring my energy levels. However, for the past week

Severe Itching from natural L-Dopa
I'm new to this Forum, so please excuse my brevity... My husband has PD for over 10 years. He recently started dosing with 200 mg 100% L-dopa from Mucuna from NutriVita. It works very well for him. But not long after he got severe itching and even can't fall asleep because of it. Did anyone get a similar
