Mucuna Pruriens dosage
My suggestion to my husband is to start taking mucuna pruriens to supplement his lower dose of
sinemet
instead of increasing the
sinemet
dosage.

Which therapy helped you the most?
Dopaminergic agents: These drugs, including
Sinemet
-- a combination of levodopa and carbidopa -- increase the level of dopamine in the brain and may improve leg sensations in RLS. However, they may cause a worsening of symptoms for some people after daily use.

Mucuna Sleepiness?
I also take
Sinemet
25/100 3x/day. Does Mucuna affect anyone else like that? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Off label medication - how to choose
His response to my decision to decline
Sinemet
and look to new disease modifying options was to suggest Rasagiline and refer me to Christine Brefel at Purpan Toulouse. As a result of that I am waiting to join a trial for a monoclonal Asyn antibody. It's France. I'm still waiting.

Help! How do you time your eating with taking Sinemet?
One of my problems is managing when I eat in relation to when I take my
Sinemet
. I take other PD medications, but
Sinemet
is the only medication that I know helps me. I'm on
Sinemet
25-100 taken 5 times a day.

Long term use of Macuna Pruriens
Are there any negative side effects in using Macuna Pruriens, such as the side effects of long term use of Carbidopa or
Sinemet
? Is using Macuna Pruriens a greater benefit or is it just a natural way of managing Parkinson’s?

Rytary coverage by Insurance
My dad could not tolerate
sinemet
(chest/rib pain) and as far as I understand this is a similar medication. Will hope for the best.

to all commenters and members concerning the "just for laughs /gags" video I posted yesterday
Just because the
sinemet
is doing more harm than good and the b1 hasn't kicked in yet, and the food I'm eating becomes my worst enemy for many days, and getting up from a sitting or reclining position is a daunting proposition, and I have the shanks, doesn't mean I have to be miserable.

Liver question
My question is this: Has anyone had liver issues when taking both
Sinemet
and CBD oil? Read that CBD inhibits a certain enzyme which is needed to clear the prescribed drugs out of the system.

Why have I never known of RLS-UK before now?
Actually, although I say the pharmacology treatment started with
Sinemet
the first line treatment of choice offered was Diazepam, it was very clear from the start that the RLS was not a passing phase-it would be with me for life.

Generic world
I don't believe I have ever taken
Sinemet
, the name brand. My neurologist gave me several samples of Azilect probably 6-7 years ago. I didn't take it at first because of a general anti drug attitude on my part.

Why I want to research active microbiome therapies for Parkinsons
Why I think the microbiome is key (Stick with it – links to poo coming up…) Having been diagnosed with PD, and offered regular
Sinemet
therapy, I resolved to look for alternatives and hope for a cure.

Avoiding Big Pharma.
No side effects like have been described as for taking Levadopa,
Sinemet
etc. The Mucuna Dopa is a low dose so we can increase by taking 2 caps every second day. In all, I think not a bad result

Manitol experience for PD
I take
Sinemet
, selegilina and MUCUNA. Do you buy only manitol or the product syncolein from www.syncolein.com? Or buy directly from the Dr. Don McCammon by emailing him? What do you recommend me please? For start should take one tablespoons with coffee or tea? After or before breakfast?

Stress
I want to know from people who take carbidova / levodoba or
Sinemet
if that medication controls symptoms when under stress? With other words I want to know if
Sinemet
helps to feel like before being diagnosed when I could handle stress with no problem.
