Eliminating Sinemet
I'm 75 years old and was first diagnosed with PD by a neurologist about 15 years ago. At that time the only symptoms I remember having were that I sometimes stepped a little bit funny, and I didn't swing my arms when I walked. Anyway, the doc immediately prescribed 3 Sinemets per day, with which I complied

MMS DMSO for treatment of Parkinson's
He is 74 years old and took Madopar (
Levodopa
/carbidopa) for 6 month. Before the diagnose we saw that he might have Parkinson because he walked slowly with small steps(around10cm and close to the ground( around 10cm) -in contrast with his high speed walking before.

Mucana vs Sinemet
My husband was diagnosed five years ago with PD. He is 75. His biggest annoyance at this time is hallucinations. He takes Sinemet, 25/100 , 2 pills three times a day. We are aware and I follow this site, that it could be caused from his medication. We have attempted twice to reduce but can only get down

Dopamine wake-up call anyone?
I’m a PD warrior on C/L who can sleep fine as long as the l-dopa is where it needs to be. That means a dose before bed and then 3- 4 hours later a “wake-up” call for another dose. Yes, I just wake up just like that, and if I wait long enough RLS will kick in. A dose then will get me down for the rest

Myoclonus and Sleep Deprivation
Carbidopa-
Levodopa
, my latest treatment drug, is now failing. I have given up on sleep in the wee hours to cleaning or lieing in bed in mental torment. These episodes give my AMN dire thoughts and self pity. And another day fraught with modification.

Lab testing for Mucuna in UK?
Hello Has anyone in the UK tried to send off their Mucuna for testing, to see actual dosage of L-dopa contained therein? This is one of the reasons consultants give for not being able to advise about Mucuna... I know that the companies selling the mucuna give an indication of how much L-dopa is in it

Magnesium & C/L Constipation
Now I've started taking C/L
Levodopa
at bedtime. I know if I take the Mag and CL together the CL will be diminished. I'm having trouble working the heavy intake of Mag into my daily routine/intake of CL/Other meds. Help?

Vivid Dreams/Sleepwalking
I’m wondering if the above discussion (See @Roborn1’s recent post) about too much carbidopa/
levodopa
applies here also? The vivid dreams is becoming far more than a nuisance - it’s becoming dangerous! Has anyone else experienced vivid dreams?

Acute Morphine Treatments Alleviate Tremor
Morphine can be endogenously synthesized and can increase DA firing rate through disinhibition. In addition, upregulation of neuronal endogenous morphine-like compound immunoreactivity was found in human PD. These facts suggest morphine may have potential therapeutic relevance in PD treatment as dopaminergic

New to the group.
In addition to "standard" PD meds (
levodopa
, MAO-B inhibitor) I have recently started using mannitol, and B1. Does anyone use these, and can you share any positive results?

1st 3weeks on B1
Sorry Roy I'm sure I'm supposed to post this on Facebook I just don't use it. I'm very happy to report that the use of B1 has been very good for me I only wish I started earlier. I'm in my 11th year 7 years since diagnosis. Dr.C recommended one gram a day for two weeks and increase if all is well. Yesterday

The role of Cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitors in herbal treatments of Parkinson's Disease
At least 6 Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP 450) degrade or metabolize L-Dopa, Azilect and Ropinirole, reducing their bioavalability and lifetime in the brain. They are highly present in the gut, the liver and some even in the brain. Conventional medications largely ignore their presence and action. Herbal
