Underwhelmed by Madopar
I certainly had my honeymoon period with both Azilect and Requip and was looking forward to the day I began
Levodopa
in a way. But it hasn’t made much difference really and I’m surprised. I take 200mg daily on top of the two drugs already mentioned .

98% L-dopa
Hello UK-based healthunlockers! Our source of 98% L-dopa in the UK (Britishsupplements.net) is out of stock. Anyone got a difference supplier that comes via UK? Would be very very much appreciated, we're doing so well on L-dopa...

Wanted to say hi.
I take Carbodopa-
Levodopa
and Sintemet (I know I must be spelling these wrong) for the PD. I don't have tremors but extreme stiffness, shuffling, bad OH. I'd been fighting depression and haven't taken care of myself-like keeping active and so it seems my stiffness is even worse.

Which medication to begin with?
I was diagnosed 18 months ago. I have a neurologist appt next week and feel that I now need to request meds. I was thinking of starting with Rasagaline then at later date L-DOPA. I prefer to have a say rather than simply accept. Can anyone offer advice based on experience?

PD & Mucuna
This past December I reluctantly succumbed to the inevitable Carbidopa
levodopa
. 25 / 100 milligrams. In my quest to get in better shape to eat more healthy and fight this debilitating disease I came across someone with PD using a natural Bean called mucuna.

Macuna's effect on rigidity?
Five months ago I swapped 2 of the 4 x 50mg madopar capsules I take each day for 2 x DopaBean macuna which contains 50 mg of l-dopa per capsule. I expected at best not to notice any difference. My Bowen therapist, who has worked on my soft tissue and muscles for the last four years, did however notice

selegiline and mortality
Comparison of therapeutic effects and mortality data of
levodopa
and
levodopa
combined with selegiline in patients with early, mild Parkinson's disease
Levodopa
in combination with selegiline seemed to confer no clinical benefit over
levodopa
alone in treating early, mild Parkinson's disease.

Levodopa Medications and Vitamin B6
"carbidopa, which is combined with
levodopa
to reduce peripheral
levodopa
conversion and minimize peripheral dopamine side effects, binds irreversibly with PLP [another term for P5P].

Why
Because she was awaiting a MRI and DaT scan she was not able to take the prescribed low dose of
Levodopa
until mid October by which time her condition had deteriorated to such an extent that little worked properly below the waist and she had to be admitted to hospital.

A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life.
This herb contains
levodopa
. In one small study, it worked better than the form of
levodopa
given as prescription medication. Doses ranged from 22.5 to 67.5 g per day, divided in 2 to 5 doses. More studies are needed.

Please read this
The idea that
levodopa
works for a while and then ceases to be effective is a myth. The myth sticks around because Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder. When a person starts taking
levodopa
, the symptoms are nicely controlled. But as the disease worsens, the symptoms emerge again.

24 hour sinemet. Why not?
Just have a pill for example that releases 100 mg of
levodopa
and 50 mg carbodopa every 4 hours for a 24 hour cycle for a total of 6 divided doses. I would make the initial dose be non-time release it so takes effect right away in the morning.

Change of Meds
I trust my mom and she said that when they changed her meds from carbadopa
levodopa
to Mirapex, it's like the stiffness increased and she feels wobbly or frozen. Has anyone changed from carbadopa levadopa to mirapex with successful results?

Let me introduce myself.
MEDICATION HISTORY (As best I can remember) •After some research, my doctor & I decided to put off taking CARBIDOPA-
LEVODOPA
for as long as possible - this due to its short therapeutic shelf life.

Memory and starting Levodopa
Hi, can anyone tell me if they had a harder time remembering things or were a little foggier when starting
Levodopa
, whether through Sinemet or Mucuna Pruriens? Thanks, Sarah
