My perfect cousin…………..(intestine related)
Context: had my first dose (200mg
Madopar
and a Comtan) at 7 am. Came on by 7.30, went really well until by 9.30 I could feel that I was going OFF. At 8, I’d had a breakfast of chia seeds (I’m such a ‘modern man’ 😂🙄), oats with banana and almond milk.

DBS switch on news.
Took a couple of
Madopar
but they don’t seem to have worked, at least with bradykinesia. So I’m not sure yet gang. It was a WOW in terms of dystonia disappearing but it’s odd that pharmaceuticals which previously worked well, seemed to have stopped working in tandem with the DBS?

Accept, I can if problems don’t arise by taking my medications out to every four and a half hours, plus the reducing of my
Madopar
intake, to stop taking Comtan.

I'm a relative newcomer to Parkinson's treatment, i was diagnosed 2 years ago and was prescribed
Madopar

neck pain
He is on
Madopar
to see if that will help the tightness in his neck, I try and massage the area, he uses paracetamol. Any body else having this problem? Have you found ways to ease the pain? Many thanks

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
The same goes for benserazide in the case of
madopar
. 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.

He’s now on
Madopar
100mg x3 We are a young family with two children. This has come as a shock to us and trying to manage and see the positivities to life as much as we can. His symptoms are mainly rigidity, balance, slowness amongst others. He’s been forced to retire from work.

In defence of meds!
As part of my pre-DBS suitability trial, I had to have no
Madopar
for 16 hours. The discomfort of life denied Levadopa is hard to describe: I became totally rigid and severe dystonia was expressed in my neck, back, feet and this graduated to eye lids clenching and teeth grinding.

The routine continued for the next two days, with minor adjustments in the timings of thiamine and
madopar
doses, but then two quite complicated days followed.

How do you know when to go to emergency when PD symptoms are beyond erratic?
The neurologist knows of my husbands struggles, but has only upped or lowered his
madopar
dosage, he's never been able to get it right yet. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions. Much appreciated 🙏 Mel

Meds not working well again
He was on
madopar
for several years prior, but it was never right for him. Suddenly it seems his meds aren't working and the pd symptoms are severe again. The neurologist is suggesting dbs and doesn't seem interested in working with the meds anymore.

Why Won't My Neurologist Listen (Explanation)
The medication he came up with was, (ENTACAPONE) Comtan, in tablet form 200MG and is taken every 4 hours with my
Madopar
tablets, while I still had to take my SIMIPEX once a day as I had been doing. I’ve been on, Comtan, not quite two years, things have not improved.

Any suggestions for managing this kind of dyskinesia?
Today I went back to my old regime of
Madopar
100/25 3 times a day and 1 Azilect. I feel fine again - but the twitchy leg is back. If I take 2 a day with the up to 12 hour gap I don’t have off periods and the twitching is much less.

COMT inhibitors
Hubby is doing really well at the moment and I think one of the things that has helped has been the introduction of 1/2 a entacapone tablet taken at the same time as his
madopar
/ mucuna doses.

What to try next?
He is now offering a choice between trying Artane, or a Neupro (dopamine agonist) patch, perhaps left on only during the day, or commencing low dose
Madopar
. Does the community have thoughts on this?

The stress of the morning meds lottery
My night time regime consists of a single
Madopar
100g (controlled release) so my system hasn't been depleted of levadopa during the night. I ensure that my breakfasts have minimal amount of protein. However, I take 200mg of
Madopar
at 7 and I don't come 'on' for maybe 50 minutes.
