Vitamin B6: How To Test If Your P5P Is Authentic, And When It Is Important Do So
Levodopa
medication uses up a lot of vitamin B6. B6 is only present in foods in low milligram amounts, so supplementation is necessary if we are taking
levodopa
medication. Failure to do so can result in dire consequences. There's more to it however.

Review of Genetic and Gene Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
Under treatment, the primary and major treatment is to be done with
levodopa
preparations.
Levodopa
preparations give adverse effects with increased titer doses. In combination with
levodopa
, MAO-B inhibitors and anticholinergics are also given depending on the symptoms of the disease.

Here we are, then
28 months ago, I went to my GP with minor loss of dexterity in my right thumb & forefinger, which everyone assured me was carpal tunnel. 24 months ago, I saw my neuro consultant for the first time. 18 months ago my neuro consultant told me he thought I might have Parkinsons & started me on l-dopa.

B6 - advice
I’m confused about B6. is the advice with Co-Careldopa not to take, at all. Or to take after Co-Careldopa has been absorbed. my recent blood tests showed me deficient in B6. thanks

Intro
(My grandmother had PD, so I know the progression and side effects of
Levodopa
, Sinemet, etc.) We're interested in learning as much as we can about alternatives and the experiences of others with PD. Grateful for this site!

Zandopa and insomnia?
Has anyone found that zandopa causes insomnia, more so than prescription carbidopa
levodopa
or other forms of Mucuna?I have only tried zandopa a few times, but it seems that both times I had some wicked insomnia.

spasms
I am on muscle relaxants and tramadol for pain and carbidopa/
levodopa
for Pakinson like symptoms, none of which helped 2 nights ago and I ended up falling hitting my back and the back of my head. Last night I had severe spasms and went to ER.

carbidopa, levodopa and anal/rectal pain
I know this might be a little bit of TMI for some of you, but I have to know if anyone of you out there has ever experienced severe anal/rectal pain from using carbidopa
levodopa
? Especially from the time you take it until the time it seems to start to work?

GABA Nutrientsupplement vs Gabapentin and other Prescription Drugs of the same order
The first medication was
Levodopa
100mg as usual. After about 2 years it didn‘t do anything for me anymore. My new medication was Pramipexol 0.088 mg, which for 6 months worked OK. Then continuesly insomnia set in and I was sleeping or better just dosing off for 1-2 h at night .

Co-Careledopa - what does science say - when to start taking
Hello, I was diagnosed Macrh '22. My doctor prescribed me 12.5mg / 50mg, two tablets to be taken three times per day. I feel fine just taking 1 tablet per day, two if I have a stressful day at work. Though I can imagine stepping up to two per day soon. I recently saw my Doctor. He recommended,

Fast acting Levodopa?
My understanding is that
levodopa
needs to reach and be absorbed in the small intestine, so the drug needs much time to kick in. There are times however, when the
levodopa
is needed right away. Does anyone recall the post to have thoughts about getting
levodopa
absorbed faster?

Interesting Gender Research Findings RE: Levodopa Absorption Rates
Another interesting finding by Contin et al (2022) found a 20% higher absorption of
levodopa
in patients treated with
levodopa
/benserazide versus
levodopa
/carbidopa formulation. These are all important findings for women with Parkinson's.
