Gap or Withdrawal?
Am taking
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
100MG. One and One-Half Tablets daily. I take when I awake at 7:30am, 12:30pm and 5:30pm. I wonder about the gap between 5:30pm and 7:30am? 14 hours. Could it account for symptoms such as sleep disturbances?

MOVEMENT DISORDERS Parkinson’s disease is the most common movement disorder in developed countries. Even with levodopa therapy the cause of death in such patients is commonly respiratory. Characteristic findings in such patients are a reduction in both maximal static inspiratory and expiratory pressures

Dyskinesia
I am 71 years old, been diagnosed 5 1/2 years Started out on Azilect and Requip. Never really felt great on this but my neurologist wanted to keep me on the least amount of medication for as long as possible. In Jan 2013 I felt terrible so he put me on Carbidopa Levadopa 25/100 three times a day I did

Prostate Cancer & Hormones - Prolactin
Evolution has given hormones promiscuous roles in the body. A particular hormone may be involved in a number of unrelated functions. Prolactin, as one might guess, is a hormone mostly associated with milk production, but it has various roles in the male body too. In addition, the prostate has prolactin

Cognitive Decline - any suggestions?
But last year, he was diagnosed, and has been given
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
but it's not really addressing the major issue of, sometimes total, inability to focus and remember. He has a disabled son, so this is a grave situation. I help every way I can, but it's so distressing!

Quercetin/Bromelain peak tissue absorption time
I'm using q/b to accompany natural sourced and standardized levodopa. First day, today. It went better than I expected it to go. I've read a quercetin research study summary and found in there that a mean peak tissue absorption of it in their subjects was 5-6 hours. I am using a blend of both quercetin
