Weakness in the legs
My neurologist says it's
levodopa
FOG. Any help for that? I found on the web that vibrating socks are used for this purpose and that scientists do not have an explanation why leg weakness occurs because the EMNG findings are ok.

HDT- B1 overdose and worsening of symtoms
I still have more tremor, could not sleep, and
Levodopa
/carbidopa does not seem to have the same effect as before. Could be this worsening of symtoms caused by B1?

Levodopa just for exercise?
Is anyone on or know of anyone that's on
levodopa
just for exercise and not on it the rest of the time? I'm on neupro which has helped live a regular daily life but still very dystonic and stiff for full on exercise and wondering if I could get a temporary boost to get through full on exercise?

the AbbVie
levodopa

Supplement Cocktail is working (Massive B1 OD) or is it the Fatty15
A google search reveals: “Such toxic effects of
levodopa
can be blocked by co-treatment with antioxidants, particularly thiol-containing compounds.” But further reading indicates “in vitro”
levodopa
is toxic — studies in living tissue indicate it is nontoxic.

Too much b6, either form , can react poorly with
levodopa
4. Too much p5p is not toxic and one cannot OD if taking P5P I am so confused…

Fava Beans for Parkinson's?
This is a very good post that discusses the use of Fava Beans as a source of
Levodopa
and as a natural addition or adjunct to Sinemet. https://www.scienzavegetariana.it/nutrizione/favabeans.html

does dyskinesia go away when people stop taking levodopa?
If no, it indicates that
levodopa
somehow damages the brain

One person’s 10 year journey of taking Levodopa. How the amount has increased, the change in dosing intervals and how they manage it.
This video is a really great honest and open account of someone’s experience in taking
Levodopa
. Well worth viewing for anyone taking the drug or thinking of taking it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL-86-dZDi4

Drug induced Dyskinesia - some measures to control
or should we do some change in timings of the
Levodopa
dosages ? Thanks for taking your time to read this, any comment would be helpful.

DIY Parkinson's Glove Users - How are you adjusting?
My hypothesis is that it is acting as an agonist or amplifying my ER agonists to the point where they are out of balance with
levodopa
. (I'm agonist sensitive, too much hits me with crushing dystonia). Thanks for sharing your experiences! Jack's Mom #glove #vibrotactile

The fateful "off" moment.
It's as if all the symptoms , which until then had remained compressed inside you thanks to
Levodopa
, as if by magic they come out to shout all their strenght and turn you into a zombie. There is no gradualness. It is necessary to become good strategists of oneself.

Amantadine questions
I'm on carbidopa/
levodopa
, entacapone and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses
