Fava Beans for Parkinson's?
This is a very good post that discusses the use of Fava Beans as a source of
Levodopa
and as a natural addition or adjunct to Sinemet. https://www.scienzavegetariana.it/nutrizione/favabeans.html

Amantadine questions
I'm on carbidopa/
levodopa
, entacapone and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses

another iron infusion? and low ALT level
Even though it is considered normal to have low values (high values are usually a concern), I read that low ALT levels may be caused by taking
levodopa
(she is not taking it, but DAs are sort of the same type, are they?)

One person’s 10 year journey of taking Levodopa. How the amount has increased, the change in dosing intervals and how they manage it.
This video is a really great honest and open account of someone’s experience in taking
Levodopa
. Well worth viewing for anyone taking the drug or thinking of taking it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL-86-dZDi4

The fateful "off" moment.
It's as if all the symptoms , which until then had remained compressed inside you thanks to
Levodopa
, as if by magic they come out to shout all their strenght and turn you into a zombie. There is no gradualness. It is necessary to become good strategists of oneself.

For Those Forum Members Taking B1 To Good Effect And Wondering What Other Health Benefit They May Be Getting From Their Use Of B1
As importantly, the medication used in treating PD, such as
levodopa
, dopamine agonists or anticholinergic agents, is also responsible for cardiovascular adverse reactions, but further studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Enta- and opicapone experience
The following four days I felt better as the 25 mg seemed to work and smooth out the rather jumpy concentration of
levodopa
in plasma vs time curve. I liked how I felt I hoped that the worst was over when I started having the same reactions I had to the 50 mg capsule.

does dyskinesia go away when people stop taking levodopa?
If no, it indicates that
levodopa
somehow damages the brain

Drooling, swallowing, reflux
Therefore If you are losing weight If you are quickly full or readily sated at meals If you think your absorption of
levodopa
is unduly compromised..

Buntanetap - a trial participant feedback
In January of 2022, I was at a 32 and I started
levodopa
. This brought me back to an 18 which was better but I still struggled with rigidity and bradykinesia. The disease was starting to show signs on my left side (I started on my dominant, right side).

Parkinson's Arm Pain Mystery Solved: Overuse Injury Due to Tremor. Update - What is Helping
In my experience,
levodopa
medication helps but does not provide complete relief. In my case those muscles are the finger extensors on the top of the forearm, and the triceps located towards the back and side of the upper arm.
