I don’t care which supplement is working.
[I have accidentally missed a dose 4 times in the past 84 days with no ill effects; I have been running a low grade fever for the last week about an hour after my midday dose; OK, fever isn’t one of the Googled side effects of too much
Levodopa
, but I took 2 NACs and my fever went away; you are not supposed

Rasagiline?
I had an appointment with a neurologist who wants me to continue taking Carbidopa-
levodopa
, but also take Rasagiline. The side effects and food interactions list seem onerous and dangerous to me. And, it is rather expensive. I canceled the prescription until I understand this drug better.

Concentration of levodopa in plasma vs time curves for Madopar 100/25 IR, Madopar 100/25 CR, and Madopar 50/12.5 dispersible
Hello, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find the above graphs. In case someone has them, I would be really grateful if they could share the data. A link to a peer-reviewed paper would be best. Thank you in advance. D.

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
So if taken together orally,
levodopa
medication and B6 will inactivate each other. If possible, P5P should be taken 2 hours apart from
levodopa
medication. If that is not possible, separate P5P from
levodopa
with a meal.

Optimising LD timings
What is the optimal medication schedule - one that reduces the variability of the
levodopa
equivalent dose (LED) value during the working day (~9:30am-5:30pm)? Can you create a ‘virtual LD pump’ dosing profile?

Mucuna Pruriens
I would like to substitute mucuna pruriens for the Carbidopa
levodopa
. I have 500 mg capsules standardized to 20% L-dopa (not exactly sure what that means). How much
levodopa
is that? My C/L Rx is 10-100 mg, 4 times daily. How many 500mg mucuna capsules do I take as an equivalent?

Rethinking Parkinson’s Disease: could dopamine reduction therapy have clinical utility. (The article)
Abstract
Following reports of low striatal dopamine content in Parkinson’s disease,
levodopa
was shown to rapidly reverse hypokinesis, establishing the model of disease as one of dopamine deficiency.

Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?
Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a
Levodopa
/Carbidopa combo (Dopicar; 250 mg
Levodopa
, 25 mg Carbidopa, manufactured by Teva).

park_bear made a very compelling argument for taking P5P (active B6)
I have read that only 5%(b) of
levodopa
before carbidopa was added makes it to your brain and after carbidopa only 44%(c). If you are going to neutralize the carbidopa in your system, it makes sense not to while you maybe don’t need extra dopamine in your brain.

My last post for a while, Thanks everyone!!!
I will soon be off
levodopa
. My mao-b inhibitor may take longer to get off. Please read this book with an open mind. I’m not saying I’m cured. I just don’t need the c/l anymore. I’m back to my starting dose, 5.5 years ago. My extremities were cold my whole life.

Does anyone here see decreases in tremors without using levodopa?
I'm just about to begin B1, and my only symptom is tremors, so I'd rather avoid
levodopa
unless it's needed. Should I start with B1 only and see what happens? Thanks

DO FISH LIKE LEVODOPA ?
Dissolved solids are more difficult to remove and the amount of my
Levodopa
in your drinking water and fish you ate for dinner is difficult to determine ,without expensive testing.

Vitamin B6 Toxicity: Available Testing of B6 Plasma Level Does NOT Tell You What You Need to Know
People taking
levodopa
medication need to supplement because it depletes B6. Running out of B6 has dire consequences.

Laurie Mischley on Using High DHA Fish Oil to Reduce Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia (Updated)
So if you can kind of hit your dopamine augmentation goals by things other than
levodopa
. I also think that that really helps not get as much dyskinesia as people used to get."

Excess Vit. B
We all know that vit.B6 negatively interferes with the proper functioning of
Levodopa
, so it is necessary for me to drastically reduce the B6 level. I have a fairly controlled diet without excesses so it's difficult for me to know to move.
