Levodopa and my wife's b/p tab interact synergistically :)
In referencing a drug interaction app I read that my wife's b/p tablets, amlodipine besylate, interact synergistically with
levodopa
, yay!

Aunt Bean from Tennessee, United States sends greetings from America. I have Parkinson's Disease. I treat my PD naturally and do very well.
Just a quick note from Aunt Bean. I depend on fava beans for most of my PD symptom relief. Making my own L-dopa extract with both the stem top buds and fava bean pods in brandy. Also using herbs, vitamins , organically grown vegies from our farm here in TN. It is a lot of work, but the fresh air, and

NO TREMOR OR STIFFNESS AT A.M.
Why I don't have tremors or heavy stiffness when I wake up in the morning until I get
Levodopa
-Carbi pills? Same when L-dopa is going down, but an hour after that I have no tremors. Been with PD 15 yrs.

Apo-go-Pen
For that I reduced by half my
Levodopa
dosage which is not without difficulty and 2 days before the switch my Neuro asked me to take Domperidone which is an anti-vomiting drug. I would be grateful for information from someone else undergoing the same treatment change. Catherine

Parsing Parkinson's
For over 50 years
levodopa
has been the gold standard drug. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) seems to be most effective for younger people with tremors. Dopamine Agonists, marijuana, “natural remedies”, and special diets each have their passionate followers.

Research dated 2014 about C/L and rising PD death rate
Why is C/L on the shelf if this research is reliable we ought to be just using
Levodopa
