Artificial sweetened Cola drinks rapid relief?
Hi, i was dx with PD in 2014, and started out with selegilin and Requip (dopamin agonist), later adding L-DOPA (Madopar/Sinemet) and entakapon. Altogether enabling me to work full time, and I am convinced this would not be possible without such a «cocktail». Still, episodes of fatigue with loss

Awful lot of levodopa for such a short disease duration
Anyone on 6 x Carbidopa
Levodopa
25/100 mg, less than 2 years after diagnosis? My neuro is increasing my c/l from 1 tablet 3 x a day to 2 tablets 3 x a day. It seems to me like it's an awful lot of
levodopa
for such a short disease duration.

I have slurred speech issues that manifests itself when there is a
Levodopa
imbalance. I have social anxiety issues that came with my Parkinson’s diagnosis. My self esteem is low and my self confidence is lower.

Who's taking Grapefruit juice and does it help you ?
With what kind of
levodopa
? Did it help you or not and how ? Did you have any adverse effects ? If I get enough answers I will try to summarise them alongside my own experience, into my next article.

Anyone taking B6? Notice any improvements?
However, the use of carbidopa with
levodopa
reduces the vitamin B6-depleting effects of
levodopa
. More research is needed to determine whether vitamin B6 supplementation is advisable when taking carbidopa."

Dystonia and Parkinson's disease: What is the relationship?
The response of early dystonia to the introduction of dopamine replacement therapy (
levodopa
, dopamine agonists) is variable; dystonia commonly occurs in PD patients following
levodopa
initiation.

Annual neurological check
I told to the neurologist that I use supplements and that I was able to reduce my
Levodopa
by 50%. He disagrees with the reduction of
Levodopa
but agrees on the use of supplements if they benefit.

Carbidopa. I am thinking of asking my neurologist to switch to Benserazide. Does

Benserazide cause dyskinesia and dystonia? Thank you all

Transitioning from aNOW product for my levodopa to a purer levodopa and I sense a loss of some benefit in the absence of the NOW caps
I have seen Posts that claim there is benefit from taking naturally sourced levodobo that Contains ingredients beyond the desired
levodopa
. I believe it now. Anyone combine 98% pure with a more raw product with good results?
