Lets talk about levadopa. While it is reputed to be the most valuable medication in PD it can cause dyskinesia which alarms me.
I am glad to know that C/L exists as a treatment for PD but does not slow progression. It is routinely cited that dyskinesia can occur in up to 80% of PD patients after 5–10 years of L-DOPA treatment. A neuroprotective medication for PD is desperately needed and there are clinical trials under way

mucana capsule dosage
I also have a prescription for CARBIDOPA-
LEVODOPA
25-100. I got this because I've read you need to take this with Mucuna to cross into the brain. I don't know which one or how much to take or if I need the CARBDOPA-.EVOQOPA. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Take nothing for granted. Try anything that that will not harm you and keep a diary.
At that time i was taking carbidopa
levodopa
, azilect and Requip. To my surprise all the night time problems went away. I handle stress as good as i ever did and I am like i was 10 years ago.

Desperately seeking answers
I have read that CBD often starts with a limb problem and doesn't respond well to
Levodopa
and I'm now terrified that it could be this. He has been lucky and managed to get an appointment with his neurologist this morning. What other tests should he be asking for?

I read somewhere that bad dyskinesia is
levodopa
toxicity. So is it better to be a lil stiff than be dyskinesic? We just started NAC, seems more sense to give it with tyrisiene. Is that true/ Please watch the video below .

What medications or natural alternatives
I was diagnosed a year ago and have left side tremors and stiffness but now fatigue is killing my life. I have tried acupuncture and glutathione IV's but no better. Finally tried Mirapex for 2 days but couldn't function. Do side effects go away or better to try l dopa. I was trying to go natural. Any

RLS what works and doesn"t work for me
I was on all kinds of medications; Gabipantin, Ropinerole,
Levodopa
and many others that I cannot tolerate. The side effects are so horrible that I would rather suffer the jerking and jumping pains and sleepless nights than to have my life being made miserable with the side effects.

Is it enough to say, "Avoid Proteins"?
That may not give the
levodopa
as much of a chance as you'd think.

Taking the natural path...
I took Carbadopa/
Levodopa
for a month and got very sick so I told my neurologist I didn't want to take anymore pharmaceuticals. I asked if he cold recommend a Natropath and he declined saying natural medicine did not help.

Adding meds
I've had nothing but Carbidopa/
Levodopa
25/100,starting low with 1 1/2 tabs 3 times /daily. Now, 9 years later, I'm taking 2 tabs 5 times/daily. This doesn't cover me through the night, so, my doc ordered C/P 6 times/daily. He also ordered Comtan (entacapone) 1 tab 6 times/daily with the C/P.

Mucuna
I had read a book by Rafael Maldonado called treatment with Natural
Levodopa
and wonder why it isn't more widely used.

Increasing levadopa/carbidopa
I ahve been on 10/100 mg
levodopa
/carbidoap four time a day for 6 years. It has been working pretty well, but now the symptoms are increasing. Should I increase the
levodopa
/carbidosa dose or try a natural remedy instead? If so, then which one? I have a drawer full of supplements.
