sinemet and mucuna pruriens
Dear Comunity I am anxious about my mother age 76. She is taking 6 tbl. of sinemet a day. I found out that Mucuna Pruriens is an option. I was able to find MP with 15% of L-Dopa. How to use it ? Thanks for helping.

Some words of encouragement
We all know that PD is a degenerative disease. It should however not mean that everything necessarily gets worse all the time. I am sharing the information below as an encouragement to all. I am currently on holiday close to Syracuse in Sicily and was amazed to find out this morning that I could

Does sinemet start working after 9 days 3tid. Worked well for three years then caused side effects and very little relief.
I’m on a second trial of 3x day because energy level, low mood and anxiety were. Improving with new antidepressant. After nine days mood anxiety and energy level have worsened. Should I just stop sinemet again I had been experiencing improved mood and energy on new antidepressant but side effects

Parkinson’s and Protein
“I explored diets and after realizing I was generally doing worse if I ate a lot of meat, I looked into vegetarian diets…. What a difference it makes for me.” —GAIL J., PWP You may have heard about protein being a no-no in the Parkinson’s diet. This is only partially true. The problem is that because

Sinemet Dose
My moms sinemet dose was too high (recently increased to 1.5 pills every 4 hours) so we took her back to her normal dose of 1 pill every 4 hours. She was on the higher dose for a month. How long after reducing a dose do things go back to where they were? Anyone have experience with this?

Getting the Most Out of Medications
“My husband has Parkinson’s, and we just got a new doctor a couple of months ago. Bob has been taking Sinemet ever since he was diagnosed. He always takes his meds first thing in the morning, then eats his breakfast. He has not been doing very well for some time…. Anyway, the doctor told him NOT to

Advice on Pramipexole Withdrawal?
I was as diagnosed with PD in 2012.. At that time I was put on Pramipexole and Rasagaline and several years later- Sinemet. When I transferred to a movement disorder specialist in 2016, I was on 1mg of Pramipexole- 5 times a day (No this is not a misprint) I did not know any different until I started

Sinemet what is normal dose
I’ve been diagnosed since early 2015; showing left hand tremor and loss of smell a few years prior. Been on Sinemet since 2017. Started on 25-100 three times a day and added a half dose (12.5-50) around 2019. I told my MDS that off periods, especially before 2nd pill late morning are getting worse.

ADHD and PD
I’ve just been diagnosed with ADHD. Seeing as both ADHD and Parkinson’s involve lack of dopamine I’m surprised more people with PD aren’t diagnosed with ADHD. Sinemet doesn’t affect the ADHD symptoms for me. I’ve been prescribed Ritalin. Does anyone else here have ADHD?

Rytary in Canada?
I went to see my neurologist today to discuss the possibility of switching from sinemet to Rytary, as well as from Amentadine to Gocovri. Sadly I’ve been told that neither Rytary nor Gocovri are available in Canada, since they have not been approved by Health Canada. I was really shocked when I heard

Sinemet and speech?
Hi everyone, maybe one of y’all will have an answer this question.Before I take my sinemet I can talk relatively well and people can understand me fairly well but less than half an hour after I take my sinemet I have great difficulty, no matter how much or little I take. I feel like I’ve had my jaw wired

Avoid medication - and suffer!
There is currently, yet another post, about being newly diagnosed and wanting to be med free (a much abused term - many of the "Med Free's" get their levadopa from macuna instead of a pharmacy. That's like buying paracetemol from Tesco instead of a doctors prescription, and saying "I don't use pharmaceuticals

Timings of medications
I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to take medication n supplements together at the same time (in the morning) coz if I don’t, I forget to take later in the day. Or is it better to space them out? Which supplements can be take together with dopamine to increase on time? I am on sinemet 100/25 tds, selegiline

Mucuna
I’ve been supplementing with LDopa from NutriVita, powder. That seems to be the only thing that keeps the tremors under control. I’m also on sinemet 3 to 4 times a day. It seems to just be giving me more shakes. I also saw that another company, Banyan, has this product in both tablets and extract liquid
